WHAT DOES FISH OIL DO FOR US?

(1/1)

shahina:
Fish oil, made from the tissue of oily fish-such as salmon, tuna has many health benefits.


Fish oil contains important Omega-3 fatty acids is believed to have health benefits ranging from
reducing the risk of heart attack and coronary heart disease,
reduction of depression, disorder to improving life of cells thus acting as anti-aging.
Consumption of dietary fish or fish oil supplements can lower blood fat-and increase "good" cholesterol, while slightly thinning the blood.
In addition to the numerous benefits already mentioned for the heart, fish oil can also slow the hardening of arteries and slightly lower blood pressure-two more important factors of heart health.


The human body cannot make Omega-3 fatty acids, and therefore is dependent on outside sources for the essential fatty acids. We must get it through either food (i.e. eating the recommended 2 servings of fish per week) or through a fish oil supplement.
