European study gives hope to people concerned about ageing well
Aging, yes. But healthy, energetic and independent aging is what we all want. A recent scientific study conducted in Switzerland and published in Nature Aging offers some good news: a simple daily gesture, such as taking anomega-3could slow down biological aging… at minimal cost and with lasting benefits.
Omega-3, vitamin D, physical activity: the winning trio for improved vitality
Up to 4 months of biological “rejuvenation
Nearly 800 people aged 70 and over took part in the study. Those who took one gram of omega-3 daily for three years showed slower ageing – on average 3 months less than other participants. And when vitamin D and regular physical activity were added, the effect climbed to almost 4 months of biological “rejuvenation”.
This may seem modest at first glance, but as Professor Heike Bischoff-Ferrari, a longevity specialist at the University of Zurich, points out:
“These effects, if sustained, could have a real impact on public health.”
Concrete, measurable benefits
Beyond biological aging, the study also found very concrete improvements in the participants’ daily lives:
- 10% fewer falls
- 13% fewer infectious diseases
- 39% reduction in the risk of entering a pre-fragility state
- 61% fewer invasive cancers for those who combined omega-3, vitamin D and exercise.
These results speak for themselves, especially given the extent to which these issues affect quality of life after the age of 65.
Why opt for microalgae-based omega-3?
An effective and respectful plant-based alternative
Traditionally, omega-3 comes from fish oils. Today, however, there’s an equally effective plant-based alternative: omega-3 from microalgae. These microalgae are the original source of omega-3s in the marine food chain, even before fish!
The benefits are numerous:
- As rich in DHA and EPA as marine sources
- 100% vegan/vegetarian, so perfect for people concerned about their health and animal ethics
- Eco-responsible, with a much smaller environmental footprint than industrial fishing
- Free from heavy metals and contaminants, unlike some fish oils
It’s a natural, healthy and sustainable solution – ideal for seniors who want to take care of themselves… and the planet.
A small daily gesture, for a big long-term impact
Gentle yet powerful prevention
This study confirms what many doctors and naturopaths have been observing for years: omega-3s are precious allies in maintaining mobility, clarity of mind and resilience in the face of disease.
And what’s remarkable is the simplicity of the routine to adopt:
- 1 omega-3 capsule a day (ideally from microalgae)
- 30 minutes of walking or gentle exercise 3 times a week
- Regular vitamin D intake, especially in winter
No heavy treatment, no constraints: just good choices, made consistently.
What researchers say
Aging researcher Steve Horvath sees this study as a turning point in the preventive approach:
“These interventions are not a miracle cure for aging, but they reinforce my personal choice: a low dose of omega-3, a little vitamin D, exercise… in moderation, but regularly.”
Other scientists urge caution, pointing out that biological markers are only an indicator, not a guarantee of visible rejuvenation. But all agree that these results are encouraging, and deserve our attention.
Aging well is also a question of choice
At a time when miracle solutions abound, it’s reassuring to see science validating simple, natural and accessible approaches.
Taking care of yourself doesn’t always involve drugs or complex technologies, but daily gestures, informed choices and a certain gentleness in discipline.
So why not start today? A capsule of omega-3 (plant-based), a bit of walking, a ray of sunshine… and you’re on your way to a longer, lighter, healthier life.
