Health Benefits Of Fish Oil Supplements
September 3rd 2008 01:30
Fish oil supplements aka Omega 3 fatty acids provides the body with many health benefits, in particular, to some of the body's most vital organs - the heart, brain, and the nervous system.
This is because the fatty acids taken from deep sea, cold water fish such as salmon, tuna and mackerel are the building blocks of the human brain, nervous system and essential to a healthy heart by regulating the levels of cholesterol in the body, amongst other things. According to many studies, fish oils have shown to increase the body's good cholesterol levels, as well as possibly stabilising the electrical system in heart cells, to prevent abnormal heart rhythms.
A new research just released lends further credibility to these claims with studies showing fish oil supplements can help patients with chronic heart failure.
While people should still try and incorporate proper seafood - at least two servings of fish per week - in their diet, this isn't always possible due to a variety of reasons thus making fish oil supplements a convenient and cost effective substitute for a seafood feast.
Besides its heart health benefits, fish oil supplements are also beneficial for the relief of conditions such as arthritis and psoriasis and may also reduce the risk of diseases ranging from childhood asthma to prostate cancer.
