Can Higher Omega 3 levels improve your life ? Lets read what a new research has to say

A new research paper examining the relationship between the Omega-3 Index and the risk of death from any causes has been published in Nature Communications.

The results showed that those people with higher omega-3 EPA and DHA blood levels (i.e., Omega-3 Index) lived longer than those with lower levels. In other words, those people who died with relatively low omega-3 levels died prematurely, i.e., all else being equal, they might have lived longer had their levels been higher.

Numerous studies have investigated the link between omega-3s and diseases affecting the heart, brain, eyes, and joints, but few studies have examined their possible effects on lifespan.

Let’s take JAPANESE citizens as an example – In Japan, omega-3 intakes and blood levels are higher than in most other countries in the world AND they happen to live longer than most. Coincidence? 

Possibly, or maybe a high Omega-3 Index is part of the explanation. New research out of Japan also shows that those who have higher omega-3 levels are happier

A recent study out of Japan investigated associations between happiness, a sense of fulfillment, and serum omega-3 fatty acid (FA) levels among 133 female nurses working in hospitals and nursing homes. Happiness was measured using the Japanese version of the subjective happiness scale (SHS); a sense of fulfillment was assessed using a visual analog scale. Serum FA concentrations were also measured.

They concluded that happiness had stronger positive relationships with a sense of fulfillment, serum EPA, and premenopause, in that order, among a hospital and nursing home workers. And that although larger studies are needed to confirm these findings, they believe EPA may be beneficial to maintaining our psychological wellbeing.

Omega-3 fatty acids are vital for optimal health.

Getting them from whole foods or taking supplements like OMEGA 3 from Vogue Wellness is the best way to ensure robust omega-3 intake.

However, if you don’t eat a lot of fatty fish, then you may want to consider taking an omega-3 supplement. For people deficient in omega-3, this is a highly effective way to improve health.
