Fish Oil Is Good For You
fish oil is an essential part of the Mediterranean diet, often regarded as one of the healthiest of today's popular diets. This is partially because of the presence of the Omega 3 fatty acids known as EPA and DHA.
Fatty fish, such as mackerel, rainbow trout, herring, sardines, tuna and salmon which have oily flesh, contain eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). EPA and DHA are essential fatty acids that cannot be produced by the human body and must, therefore, be introduced into the body through foods.
A great deal of research into Omega-3 fatty acids has lead researches to suggest that these acids offer a number of important health benefits, one of which is helping maintain a strong, healthy heart. Some of the stated benefits of Omega-3 include lessening the risk of clogged blood vessels and heart attacks, lowering of blood pressure and the prevention of hardening of the arteries.
In addition, it seems that the omega 3 benefits also include the reduction of inflammation. This means that consuming fish oil could be used to combat conditions such as arthritis. Omega 3 may reduce tenderness in joints and decrease morning stiffness, making it possible to reduce medication taken for rheumatoid arthritis. There might also be benefits for sufferers of osteoarthritis. Omega 3 could therefore be considered alongside established arthritis natural treatments such as vitamin B3, turmeric and ginger.
To get the recommended amount of fish oil, you would need to eat some type of fatty fish at least twice a week. Fresh fish is not only delicious but, like other meats, is a good source of protein, with the added benefit of being lower in saturated fat. Another option to ensure a sufficient amount of Omega-3 is to take daily dietary supplements.
Fish is the ultimate brain AND body food. Omega 3 acids in fish appear to reverse and/or repair certain forms of brain damage linked to schizophrenia and Huntington's disease, and are good for your circulatory and skeletal systems as well. If that wasn't enough, fish tastes great, too!
