Benefits of Fish Oil for Fitness and Health When the words oils and fats are mentioned,
health-conscious individuals tend to run for cover. What they fail to realize
is that there are good fats and bad fats. Complete avoidance of 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 part of our daily
diet - without them, we take one step closer to our deaths. Essential fatty
acids are divided into two families: omega-6 EFAs and omega-3 EFAS. Although there are only very slight differences to
distinguish the two groups of essential fatty acids from each other, studies
have revealed that too much intake of omega-6 EFAs can lead to inflammation,
blood clotting and tumor growth. The good news, however, is that the opposite
is true for omega-3 EFAs. Omega-6 EFAs can be found in vegetable oils while
omega-3 EFAs can be found in fish oils among other foods. Omega-6 vs. Omega-3 Physicians and scientists are of the same opinion that
the cause behind increasing cases of heart disease, hypertension or high blood
pressure, obesity, diabetes, premature aging and certain kinds of cancer is
none other than an imbalanced intake of omega-3 and omega-6 EFAs. As mentioned earlier on, omega-6 EFAs can be found in
vegetable oils. This includes but is not limited to corn oil and soy oil, both
of which contains high amounts of linoleic acid.
Omega-3 EFAs on the other hand can be found also in marine plankton and walnut
and flaxseed oils. It should be significant to take note that fatty fish and
fish oils contain eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), fatty acids that have been
observed to provide many benefits to the human body. In the early 1970's, a study on Greenland Eskimos have revealed that one of the
major 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 supplemented food have also
proven to be useful in treating illnesses like rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes,
Raynaud's disease and ulcerative colitis. Other Benefits of Fish Oil There are a lot more illnesses and situations in which
intake of fish oil has proven to be significantly beneficial. Making the Heart Healthier The heart is inarguably one of the most important parts
of our body and having an unhealthy heart means having to suffer a rather
limited lifespan. Naturally, it's in our best interests to keep our hearts
happy and healthy and one way of doing that is eating food that contains fish
oil. In Athens, Greece, for instance, a study was made to
show if there was a direct relationship between high fish diet and inflammation
of blood vessels. The results revealed that those who ate more fish than the
others had a lower level of C-reactive protein and interleukin-6, factors that
are commonly used to measure likelihood of blood vessel inflammation. These
benefits remained even when the various risks associated with high fish diet
were taken into account. Fish to Become Thin In Perth, Australia, a study had revealed that fish
consumption can be used against hypertension and obesity. Researchers of the
UWA (University of Western Australia) have discovered that a weight-loss diet which
includes a regular amount of fish consumption can be quite effective in
reducing blood pressure and improving glucose tolerance. Fish Oil to Combat Asthma People suffering from respiratory problems like asthma
tend to be perceived as unfit and unhealthy. They should now be pleased to
learn that certain studies have revealed the benefits of fish oil for
asthma-burdened-individuals. Statistics show that approximately 20 to 25% of
children today suffer one form of asthma or another at a certain point in their
lives. And certain evidence reveals a regular diet of food with high linoleic
acid content as the reason behind it. Researchers of UW (University of Wyoming) conducted a
study by subjecting a number of children to a high-fish diet while others continued
with their regular diet. Results revealed that the participants who ate more
fish were less prone to asthma attacks and were able to breathe more easily as
well. Consult 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 for the right amount of fish intake for your age and health
status. Copyright ®2005-2009 eNewsletterSolutions.com. All rights reserved
