Omega 3 Fish Oil
Fish oil is oil derived from the tissues of oily fish.
Fish oil is recommended for a healthy diet because it contains the omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), precursors to eicosanoids that reduce inflammation throughout the body
Fish Oil Benefits: Fish oil, or the meat of oily fish, contains high levels of Omega-3 fatty acids.
Omega-3 fatty acids have been touted as having a huge variety of possible benefits. The biggest, most-common benefit is a decreased chance of heart disease. Here is a more inclusive (but not exhaustive) list:
- Cancer: A variety of studies indicate that fish oil consumption can delay or reduce tumor development in breast cancer, colon cancer, and prostate cancer.
- Depression and bipolar disorder. Low levels of Omega-3 have been linked to low brain serotonin levels which is connected to depression. Countries where the average fish consumption is high appear to have lower rates of depression.
- Alzheimers and memory: A high intake of fish has been linked to a decrease in age-related memory loss and Alzheimer's disease.
- Arthritis: Fish oils can reduce inflammation for people suffering from rheumatoid arthritis.
- Asthma: Researchers found that children who regularly eat fresh oily fish have a four times lower risk of developing asthma than do children who rarely eat such fish.
- Helping with lung diseases and hay fever.
- Lowering high blood pressure.
- Reducing painful menstrual periods.
Officially speaking, "The US National Institute of Health lists three conditions for which fish oil and other omega-3 sources are most highly recommended (Grade A scientific evidence): Hypertriglyceridemia, Secondary cardiovascular disease prevention and High blood pressure. It then lists 27 other conditions for which there is B or C grade evidence."
