“####Omega-3 The omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid, or EPA, and docosahexaenoic acid, or DHA, support an effective immune system by helping to resolve inflammation after an infection has subsided.”

“They are also excellent sources of alpha linolenic acid (ALA), an omega-3 fatty acid that plays important roles in human health. ALA is necessary for the production of eicosanoids, a class of signaling molecule that regulates blood clotting, blood pressure, blood lipid levels, immune function, inflammation, pain and fever, and reproduction.”

“Omega-3 fatty acids, especially eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), which are derived from marine sources, elicit a wide array of health benefits. The American Heart Association recommends that people who have coronary heart disease consume approximately 1 gram of DHA and EPA daily in foods or supplemental form.”

“And because inflammation may be a driver of anabolic resistance, omega-3 fatty acids, which have potent anti-inflammatory effects, may help fight against muscle losses. This is especially important in older adults, in whom inflammaging, the chronic, low-level inflammation that accompanies aging, can impair muscle building.”

“00:44:53 - How marine omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA may be one of the safest supplements to delay telomere attrition, with each 1-standard deviation increase in levels associated with a 32% reduction in the odds of telomere shortening and how one four-month double-blinded supplementation study showed that omega-3 could even lengthen telomeres.”

“These findings indicate that more than one-third of young adults have high inflammation levels, adversely affecting executive function and processing speed by midlife. They also underscore the importance of managing inflammation throughout life. Omega-3 fatty acids have potent anti-inflammatory effects.”

“Supplementation with the omega-3 EPA (4g/day) reduced cardiovascular-related death by 25% in people with high triglycerides on statins compared to those taking a placebo (randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in 8,179 people from around the world).”

“01:08:20 - Injection with inflammatory endotoxin or the pro-inflammatory cytokine interferon gamma caused depression. Study. 01:09:35 - The omega-3 fatty acid EPA alleviated inflammation-induced depression.”

“Findings from a 2016 study showed that docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), a type of polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA), increased hypothalamic neurogenesis in mice. DHA is an omega-3 fatty acid found in the human brain and the meat of fatty fish.”

“Still, the findings suggest that moderate egg intake can fit within a brain-conscious diet. In Aliquot #90, you can learn more about dementia-prevention strategies, including inflammation control, exercise, and omega-3 intake.”
