Omega 3 Reverses the Clock: A recent study analyzed data from 777 participants aged 70 and older, revealing that daily intake of 1 gram of omega-3 fatty acids over three years was associated with a biological age approximately three months younger than their chronological age. This effect was observed through three out of four epigenetic clocks used to measure biological age. The fourth clock indicated additional benefits when omega-3 supplementation was combined with vitamin D and regular exercise. While the exact mechanisms remain unclear, omega-3 fatty acids are known to play roles in cell membrane structure and function, potentially influencing the aging process. These findings suggest that incorporating omega-3 supplements, along with vitamin D and consistent physical activity, may contribute to healthier aging.

Dr. Christine Horner, O&N Health Scientific Advisor, Addresses Gut Health. In her article, "Healing Digestive Problems and Leaky Gut," Dr. Horner addresses the widespread issue of digestive disorders, affecting nearly 75% of American adults with symptoms like gas, bloating, and abdominal pain. She critiques the Western reliance on pharmaceuticals for symptom management, advocating for holistic approaches such as Ayurveda, which emphasizes dietary adjustments and mindful eating practices to enhance digestion. Dr. Horner highlights the significance of "leaky gut syndrome," a condition where increased intestinal permeability allows harmful substances to enter the bloodstream, potentially leading to various chronic diseases. To combat this, she recommends eliminating inflammatory foods (e.g., processed foods, alcohol, gluten, dairy) and incorporating healing foods rich in healthy fats and digestive spices. Additionally, she suggests supplements like probiotics, vitamin D3, and certain herbs (e.g., slippery elm bark, licorice) to support gut repair. Emphasizing a comprehensive lifestyle approach, Dr. Horner underscores the importance of stress management techniques, regular exercise, and quality sleep in restoring and maintaining digestive health.

Can Vitamin D lessen the severity of Asthma and Allergies? A recent study published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology Global has found that increased vitamin D3 levels can reduce symptoms and severity of allergies and asthma in both children and adults. Higher vitamin D levels were associated with an enhanced anti-inflammatory immune response, mediated by increased production of the protein blimp-1. This research highlights the importance of vitamin D for immune health, particularly in managing allergies and asthma. Given that a significant portion of the U.S. population is vitamin D deficient, and with allergy season approaching, ensuring adequate vitamin D intake is crucial.
