Resumo

O presente estudo apresenta uma revisão de literatura sobre os ácidos graxos ômega-3 e seu impacto na saúde e longevidade. A partir do aumento do interesse na promoção da saúde e no envelhecimento saudável, os ácidos graxos ômega-3 ganharam um grande papel na sociedade diante dos seus diversos benefícios. Esses ácidos, não sintetizados pelo corpo, são adquiridos a partir da dieta e destacam-se por seus efeitos anti-inflamatórios, cardiovasculares e neuroprotetores, tornando-se alvos promissores para intervenções nutricionais. A revisão analisou 58 artigos nos últimos 5 anos, utilizando a base de dados da National Library of Medicine (PubMed). Os resultados revelam que o ômega-3 está associado à redução do risco de doenças cardiovasculares, com efeitos benéficos na pressão arterial, triglicerídeos e função endotelial. Além disso, demonstram poderosos efeitos anti-inflamatórios, influenciando até condições como artrite reumatoide e câncer. No sistema nervoso, destaca-se por seus efeitos neuroprotetores, relacionados à prevenção de doenças neurodegenerativas e melhoria cognitiva. Embora tenham sido observados benefícios para a saúde óssea, a revisão destaca a necessidade de mais pesquisas, reconhecendo limitações nos estudos, como heterogeneidade nos métodos de pesquisa. A relação direta entre ômega-3 e longevidade demanda investigações específicas e de longo prazo. Em conclusão, este artigo destaca o ômega-3 como uma intervenção promissora para a promoção da saúde e aumento da longevidade, sugerindo sua inclusão na dieta, mas ressaltando a importância contínua de pesquisas para consolidar essas descobertas.
