Vitamin D and omega-3 may slow epigenetic aging | Steve Horvath

Nutritional status plays a critical role in aging. Emerging evidence now suggests that supplemental omega-3 fatty acids or vitamin D slow epigenetic aging. But identifying the factors that affect human longevity is complex and can often lead to conflicting evidence. Whereas clinical studies assessing links between nutrition and aging show no effect, studies based on the epigenetic clock clearly demonstrate effects. In this clip, Dr. Rhonda Patrick interviews Dr. Steve Horvath and they discuss evidence suggesting that supplemental vitamin D or omega-3 fatty acids slow epigenetic aging.
