Mice that have higher levels of endogenous omega-3 fatty acids (n-3 FA) in their tissues may hold the key to understanding diet’s role in influencing leukocyte telomere length (LTL), a biomarker of aging, new research suggests.
A new study has observed a significant association between very high intakes of folic acid (FA) during pregnancy and shorter telomere lengths in children aged four.
Data from the scientific literature “overwhelmingly” supports beneficial effects of omega‐3 fatty acids on the length of telomeres, reported to be a marker of biological aging, says a new review.
The first 1000 days of life—from conception to two years of age—represents a crucial period in which maternal diet and other exposures might influence children’s health.
Long-term supplementation of selenium and coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) may preserve telomeres length, a marker of ageing, and are associated with a reduction in cardiovascular mortality, says a new study from Scandinavia.
Increased dietary intakes of selenium for women with type 2 diabetes are associated with longer telomeres, reported to be a marker of biological aging, says a new study from China.
Daily supplementation with a high dose of omega-3 fatty acids may help slow the effects of aging by suppressing damage and boosting protection at the cellular level during and after a stressful event, says a new study.
The antioxidant ergothioneine may preserve the length of telomeres, reported to be a marker of biological aging, suggests a new in vitro study published in the Journal of Dietary Supplements.
In recent years, research on aging has seen some major advancements, including the discovery that the rate of aging is controlled, at least to some extent. And according to Dr. Paul Clayton, who has researched, written and presented about the process...
Following a Mediterranean style diet may be associated with greater telomere length - a finding that further supports the diet’s links to health and longevity, say researchers.
Obesity has long been known to increase the risk of health
conditions including heart disease, hypertension and respiratory
disease, but a new study suggests that it also causes accelerated
aging at a molecular level.
