Benefits of fish oil for Fitness and Health
When the words oils and fats are mentioned, health-conscious individuals tend to seek cover. What they fail to realize is that there are good fats and bad fats. Completely avoid intake of oils and fats would actually be detrimental – rather than beneficial – to their health.
The Truth About Fish Oil
Essential fatty acids must always be a part of our daily diet – without them, we take a step closer to our deaths. Essential fatty acids are divided into two families: omega-6 fatty acids and omega-3 fatty acids.
Although there are only very small differences to distinguish between the two groups of essential fatty acids from each other, studies have shown that too much intake of omega-6 fatty acids can lead to inflammation, thrombosis and tumor growth. The good news is that the opposite is true for omega-3 EFAs. Omega-6 fatty acids found in vegetable oils while omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oils among other foods.
Omega-6 vs. Omega-3
Doctors and scientists agree that the cause behind increasing cases of heart disease, hypertension or high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes, premature aging and certain types of cancer is none other than an unbalanced intake of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.
As mentioned earlier, to omega-6 fatty acids found in vegetable oils. This includes but is not limited to, corn oil and soybean oil, both of which contain high amounts of linoleic acid. Omega-3 fatty acids found in marine plankton and walnut and flaxseed oil. It should be significant to note that fatty fish and fish oils contain eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic (DHA), fatty acids, known to provide many benefits to the human body. In the early 1970's, a study of Greenland Eskimos revealed that a of the main reasons why they rarely suffer from heart diseases is because of their high fat diet (mainly composed of fish).
The two essential fatty acids, EPA and DHA are also helpful in preventing atherosclerosis, heart attacks, depression and various forms of cancer. Fish oil supplements have also proved useful in treating diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, Raynaud's disease and ulcerative colitis.
Making the Heart Healthier
The heart is indisputably one of the most important parts of our body and it is important that we keep our hearts healthy for living a long and comfortable life. And one way to do it is to eat foods that contain fish or take fish oil supplements.
In Athens, Greece, a study was done to determine whether there was a direct correlation between a high fish diet and inflammation of blood vessels. Results showed that those who ate more fish had a lower level of C-reactive protein and interleukin-6, factors that usually used to measure the risk of blood vessel inflammation.
Another benefit of fish oil supplements are the reduction in total cholesterol levels. This has been directly documented by the author of that report in his own experience. More and more doctors are now recommending the use of Omega-3 supplements as a stand-alone procedure or in partnership with prescription medication to effectively reduce total cholesterol levels.
Fish to Become Thin
In Perth, Australia, a study showed that consumption of fish can combat hypertension and obesity. Researchers from the UWA (University of Western Australia) have discovered that a weight loss diet that includes a regular amount of fish consumption can be quite effective at reducing blood pressure and improve glucose tolerance.
Fish Oil to fight asthma
Millions of people worldwide suffer from respiratory problems like asthma. These people should be happy to learn that research has shown that the benefits of fish oil for asthmatics. Statistics show that about 20 to 25% of children today suffer one form of asthma or other. And the evidence reveals a regular diet of foods high in linoleic acid content as the cause of it.
Researchers at the University of Wyoming conducted an experiment where a number of children receiving a high-fish diet while others continued their regular diet. Results showed that participants who ate more fish were less prone to asthma attacks and were able to breathe easier.
Contact Your Nutritionist Now
Nothing is good when consumed or used excessively but complete avoidance of a particular food type is equally harmful as well. Ask your nutritionist or doctor for the right amount of fish intake for you.
