According to a new study, taking omega-3 and vitamin D supplements regularly can improve your health and slow down the aging process.
In the study, published in the journal Nature, researchers said that taking these supplements for more than 3 years can add 3 to 4 months to your life, and it becomes even more effective when combined with exercise.
They explained that aging occurs at the molecular level. So even if two people are the same age, their bodies can age at different rates depending on their overall health.
Although a few months of extra life may seem insignificant, it can have many public health benefits, including preventing some age-related medical conditions.
Researchers analyzed data from the DO-HEALTH trial, which examined the effects of supplements and exercise on older adults in five European countries between 2012 and 2014.
