Fish Oil Benefits Explained
As you're reading this, I know you're much smarter, and more proactive about your health than most people.
And you probably already know this -
"A large body of scientific research suggests that higher dietary
omega-3 fatty acid intakes are associated with reductions in cardiovascular disease risk, prompting the
American Heart Association to recommend that all adults eat fish, particularly oily fish, at least twice
weekly."
- Linus Pauling Institue, Oregon State University
The Linus Pauling Institute also reports that:
- increasing the amount of omega 3 fatty acids can lower the risk of a heart attack,
and sudden death, in people with coronary heart disease
- a higher intake of EPA and DHA (which are fatty acids present in fish and marine oils) may be beneficial
for those with diabetes, especially if they have high blood triglyceride levels
- clinical trials have found that taking fish oil supplements reduces tenderness in the joints for those with
rheumatoid arthritis. They also need less anti-inflammatory medication
"EFAs (essential fatty acids) also have anti-mutagenic,
anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-viral properties. EFAs
and their metabolites lower serum cholesterol, triglycerides and blood
pressure.
EFAs appear to be of benefit in atopic eczema,
premenstrual syndrome, psoriasis, auto-immune disorders especially
rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus, prevention of target organ damage in
diabetes mellitus, peptic ulcer disease, ulcerative colitis,
coronary heart disease and atherosclerosis."
