Many other health issues, including oxidative stress, also play a role. <br \/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"ADNFCR-1961-ID-19571755-ADNFCR\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.directnews.co.uk\/feedtrack\/justcopyright.gif?feedid=1961&amp;itemid=19571755\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A recent study from the University of California has found that patients who have coronary heart disease with high blood levels of omega-3 fatty acids may age more slowly than those with the lowest levels of the compound.
