The loss of muscle during aging is invariably associated with a decline in health. A new study with older adults has found that supplementation with fish oil1 (DHA Docosahexaenoic acid Essential omega 3 fatty acid integral to the health of all cell membranes, nerve and brain function. Must be gotten through the diet via cold water oceanic fish or some very limited plant sources or taken as a supplement. and EPA Eicosapentanoic acid. Type of long chain essential fatty acid - Omega 3 oil. Works in concert with DHA. Must gotten through food sources such as deep cold water fish or some limited plant sources or taken as a supplement. ) can improve the synthesis of muscle protein. The essential fatty acids, especially DHA Docosahexaenoic acid Essential omega 3 fatty acid integral to the health of all cell membranes, nerve and brain function. Must be gotten through the diet via cold water oceanic fish or some very limited plant sources or taken as a supplement., are well known for their role in cardiovascular health. In addition to becoming part of the structure of cell membranes everywhere in your body, it is now recognized that they activate a wide array of genes. This new study indicates that some of the genes that are activated help preserve muscle providing an anti-aging benefit.
