What's The Deal With Fish Oil?
In the quest to achieve better health and wellness, fish
oil supplements have become an increasingly popular way
to take advantage of many different medical benefits.
Fish oil originates from the tissues of oily fish, such
as carp, herring, salmon, and fresh tuna. Today, fish
oil is recommended as part of a healthy diet because of
the amount of omega-3 fatty acids contained, which is
known to reduce inflammation throughout the body and
lessen the threat of coronary heart disease (among other
things).
There are two main ways to include fish oil as part of a
healthy diet. The first involves the consumption of oily
fish, including sardines and cod, which contain oils
throughout their body and about their gut, unlike other
species of fish. Depending on the species, oily fish
fillets may offer up to 30% oil. Besides omega-3 fatty
acids, oily fish also provides a good source of vitamins
A and D.
The second approach towards increasing the amount of
fish oils in a diet is to purchase fish oil capsules or
supplements. Many people are said to prefer the
consumption of fish oil capsules because they are easy
to follow and do not require laborious measurements in
making sure recommended daily values are satisfied. To
explore some of the many benefits associated with fish
oil supplements and consumption, a few examples can be
found below:
Decreased Pain Levels and Inflammation
Omega-3 fatty acids may posses the power to lessen
inflammation in the body, as well as ease the pain
associated with arthritis and cystitis. Rheumatoid
arthritis patients often report an improvement in joint
pains and inflammation when taking fish oil supplements.
Treats Depression and Stress
Some individuals have been able to ease their symptoms
of depression by implementing omega-3 fish oil
supplements into their diet. Fish oils have also been
linked to showing promise in treating bipolar and
psychotic patients. Supplements may also help to promote
the overall mood of patients, and may even reduce
premenstrual stress.
Cardiovascular Improvements
The heart, arteries, and veins may benefit from fish oil
because it has been known to help lower cholesterol
levels and blood pressure, while at the same time
improving "good" cholesterol levels.
Fights Strokes and Heart Attack
The threat of stroke and heart attack may be decreased
with the introduction of fish oils into a diet because
they may help to prevent blood clots and other damage to
the heart. A decreased risk of sudden death and heart
attacks has also been seen.
Enhances Brain Activity
Fish oil is known to boost intelligence and overall
happiness in users, as well as improve the memory and
ability to stay focused. In the elderly, the risk of
dementia and memory loss sometimes decreases with the
use of fish oil supplements. Additionally, mothers who
consume or take a high amount of omega-3/fish oils
during pregnancy often give birth to children with a
higher IQ.
Combats Childhood Disorders
Children, who suffer from disorders, such as ADD and
ADHD, have experienced a better quality of life when
incorporating fish oil fatty acids into their diet.
Additional conditions that respond to fish oils include
dyslexia and compulsive disorders.
