The Anti-Aging Fat You Need More Of Think aging happens in your skin (wrinkles!), your joints (the "aargh" when you get out of a chair) and maybe your mind ("what did I come into the living room for?")? Truth is, aging happens deep within your cells, in little structures called telomeres. New research adds to evidence that you have some control over them. Telomeres are structures at the ends of your chromosomes that get a little shorter every time a cell reproduces, making it harder for the cell to replicate, grow and replenish your body. Stresses, including worry, smoking, inactivity and belly fat, shorten those telomeres faster, making your body even older. So far, only difficult things like stress reduction, meditation and hard exercise have been found to restore telomere length. But new research suggests you might be able to get help from a pill. In a group of people with coronary artery disease, researchers saw that those with the most omega-3 fatty acids in their bodies also had the slowest rate of telomere shortening over the course of five years. But they weren't any old omega-3s; they were EPA and DHA, the healthy fats in fish. We recommend supplementing every day with a fish-oil supplement with a combined total of 2,000 mg of DHA and EPA, or a vegetarian source of 600 mg DHA (pills from algae, which is where fish get their DHA). Side effects: EPA can add to blood thinning (desirable unless you already have something that does that, like aspirin); we don't know of any side effects of DHA. These fats also help prevent wet macular degeneration, joint arthritis and memory deterioration for only 15 calories a day. ======== The YOU Docs, Mehmet Oz and Mike Roizen, are authors of "YOU: On a Diet."
