WOW! This is an amazing product to use to bolster your health in many ways. Listen to this. Evidence from several types of research supports the wide-ranging benefits of Omega-3 fatty acids.
It offers protection against heart disease, depression, bipolar disease, attention – deficit hyperactivity disorder, alcoholism, Alzheimer's disease and may even be useful for diabetes and arthritis as well.
Omega-3 fatty acids can be found naturally in fish, flaxseed, canola oil, nuts and avocados. They are also available in the form of fish oil supplements and some fortified eggs and dairy products.
Eating seafood once a month was found to cut the risk of stroke among men by 40 percent in a recent study. Previous studies have revealed that eating fish twice a week was very beneficial. But now it's been found that even eating any type fish once a moth is beneficial.
A study of 80,000 female nurses and women who ate fish five or more times a week had a 52 percent lower risk of stroke than women who ate fish once a month.
Those who ate fish once a week had a 22 percent lower risk of stroke, and those who ate fish once a month had a seven percent lower risk.
Remember this, Omega –3 fats are essential to your health as well as your children's health. The best source of Omega-3 fats is fish oil or cod liver oil. It is high in two fatty acids crucial to human health, DHA and EPA.
These two fatty acids are very beneficial in preventing heart disease, cancer and many other diseases. Even the human brain is also highly dependent on DHA.
Low DHA levels have been linked to depression, schizophrenia, memory loss, and a higher risk of developing Alzheimer's.
Omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil may help maintain the body's healthy response to inflammation, preventing the immune response from getting out of line and leading to cardiovascular disease, according to a study conducted by researchers from Baylor College of Medicine and Harvard Medical School.
The researchers discovered that the blood vessels of many people have tendencies to form small lesions, even from a very young age. The normal healing process is for these lesions to become inflamed, then to cool down and eventually for these lesions to heal.
While some inflammation – cooling mediators are naturally produced by the body, others appear to function when ingested. One of these is the non-sleroidal anti-flammatory drug aspirin,which may account for its reported cardiovascular health benefits.
Another one, researchers found, is Omega-3 fatty acids, which are found in high quantities in fish oil and few vegetable sources, such as flaxseeds or certain algaes.
Research on Omega-3 fish oils keeps looking better and better. New studies have found, as previously mentioned, that it can help with three catastrophic diseases such as Alzheimer's, heart failure and cancer.
In a study, Alberto U. Ferrari, MD, of the University of Milano-Bicocca, Milan, Italy, treated 25 heart failure patients with beta-blocker and ACE inhibitor drugs. All of the patients had previously suffered a heart attack that left them with a weakened ability to pump blood.
Fifteen of the patients were also given 2 grams of Omega-3 fish oils daily and 10 received placebos daily for four months. The fish oil supplements contained about three-fifths DHA and two-fifths eicosspentnoic acid (EPA, another Omega –3 fat).
The Omega-3's improved the patients "baroflex sensitivity" leading to more stable heart rate, less variability in heart rate, and lower. The benefits were above and beyond the improvements achieved with the medications.
Alicja Wolk, of the Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, Sweden, and her colleagues analyzed the relationship between consumption of rich in Omega-3 fats and the risk of kidney cancer in women.
They drew on the data from an on going study of more than 61,000 middle age and elderly women whose health was tracked for an average of 15 years.
Women who consumed one or more servings of fatty food fish per week were 44 percent less likely to develop kidney cancer, compared with women who did not eat fish.
Women who consumed one or more servings of fatty fish per week for a least 10 years were 74 percent less likely to develop kidney cancer.
All of these statistics are just a sampling of how natural substances can help prevent illnesses and diseases.
There are so many natural ways of preventing diseases and its wise to know what they are.
To your good health,
