If you want to live longer then you should eat fish.

According to a study by researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health and the University of Washington, eating fish high in omega-3 fatty acids as a regular part of your diet can actually add years to your life.

The results from the research which was published in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine showed that elderly adults who have greater blood levels of omega-3 fatty acids had their total mortality risk decreased by nearly 27% and their mortality risk from heart disease by 35%.

The findings from the research support the importance of adequate blood omega-3 levels for cardiovascular health. The study also suggest that these benefits could be important later in life as they could actually extend the years of your remaining life.

To arrive at these conclusions, the researchers analysed 16 years of data from nearly 2,700 adults in the U.S. who were 65 years of age or older.

So ensure you add fish to your diet regularly.
