What are some of the benefits if one consumes fish oil.

It is being proven and believed that taking an amount of fish oil will benifit you and [1]reduce the risk of cardiovasular diseases (heart attack, high blood pressure, stress, depression). Omega 3 fish oil will reduce the plaques which are being alligned inside the blood vessels, also it helps reduce the pressure of the blood.

Another benefit for fish oil or omega 3 is if you have pain on your joints this is a symptom of the disease arthritis and omega 3 is just the stuff your body will need which will enable the body to [2]prevent and reduce arthritis.

Inflammation are the signs when ones body is low on omega 3. This is because the body lacks omega 3 and there is an unbalanced level of essential body nutrients (fatty acids omega 3 and omega 6) therefore fish oil should be taken approximatly 2 times every week.

Studies [3] have shown the benefits of fish oil and omega 3 to be effective in the brain. One part of the body which contains high amount of omega 3 is the brain but the body itself cannot take all that omega 3 from the brain and turn them into what it needs therefore it relies on the external sources which are fish oil and others. Omega 3 found in the fish oils help with disorders relating to concentration, anxiety, mood. Researches have been stating that fish oil reduces such mood swings and and boosts the level of concentration to a high therefore omega 3 benifits such cases. There has been scientific studies [5] that proof omega 3 or fish oil helps increase the level of concentration for kids (students) who suffer from ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder).

Benifits of fish oil are it reduces Asthma, yes it helps and there have been [4] clinical studies to proof that does it reduce asthma. The research was for children suffering with asthma who took omega 3 or fish oil and other children which took other forms of medication. The results proved that there had been a fat greater improvement on children who were on medication with fish oil/ omega 3 compared to others who took other pills.

To summarise the benifits of fish oil and omega 3 I will say it is the best natural God given remedy that has been provided it is up to us to choose which to take. You can take suppliments of omega 3 which are provided in tablets as shown from the above image, buy them and see the difference it will make on your body.

Omega 3

Omega-3 fatty acids contain carbon-chains that are polyunsaturated, in another term contains multiple double bonds in the hydrocarbon chain, this is quite different to saturated fatty acids with no double bonds. Omega 3 is an important component for our neurological systems plus it helps to build up cell membranes in our human brain.

Omega3 in simple terms is oils taken from or contained in form of vegetable or animal fat sometimes refered to as omega-3 fatty acids. There are three types substances found within omega3 [1] a-lionlenic acid (ALA) [2] eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docsahexaenoic acid (DHA). The other form of fatty acid which is similar to omega3 is omega 6. The human body needs both omega3 and 6 for its essetntial purposes but cannot produce it instead omega 3 has to be taken from food sources and substitutes (extracted fish oils) that contain it. There has been debates about the which is the correct source of omega 3 , some say fish-oil is best others say plant byproducts but majority of people seem to be believing that fish-oil is at least better off.

Here some details on the "benifits of omega 3" which is in the next post.
