Inflammation May Be Helped With Fish Oil

By: Home | Health-and-Fitness


Studies have shown that a diet high in fish oils improves and helps inflammation and inflammatory conditions. In particular, fish oil supplements are highly advantageous not just because of their convenience, but also because of their large concentration of fish oils and omega-3 fatty acids. A fish fillet may offer up to 30% fish oil (depending on the kind of fish) whereas supplements can ensure you get the recommended amount of dosage every time. For those that do or don't eat fish, fish oil supplements are a good way to go.

How do fish oils help with inflammation?

The body's natural inflammatory response is designed to protect the body against infection and injury, but when it goes wrong it can lead to a number of illnesses, pain, redness, or sometimes visible swelling. It can even lead into arthritis or cardiovascular disease, as well.

Fatty fish produce a large amount of Omega-3 fatty acids, which are known to benefit these symptoms. The results of many studies into this area have revealed the existence of a new class of fatty acids called Resolvins, which are made of Omega-3 fatty acids, and seem to be what curb overproduction of prostanoids chemicals which help regulate blood pressure and allergic reactions. When these prostanoids are excessively produced, this is what causes inflammation. Overproduction can actually be the result of either the wrong kind of foods, or too little ingestion of certain kinds of foods and vitamins.

Although these studies are not conclusive yet, the fact remains that Omega-3 fatty acids help to produce what the body needs to curb inflammation, a remarkable breakthrough in this area.

What then are the benefits of fish-oil supplements?

Fish Oils, generally, encourage better health and wellness. As already mentioned, they help inflammation and its complications, and lessen the threat of coronary heart disease. They benefit your heart arteries and veins, and also lower your blood pressure and cholesterol levels, meaning that they fight off strokes and heart attacks continuously. Fish oil supplements are also easy to follow, and don't require arduous measurements in making sure that you get the right amount of dosage every day. Fish Oils also are able to treat depression and stress (they have shown promise in treating bipolar and psychotic patients) and help to promote your overall mood. They enhance brain activity (memory, ability to stay focused, intelligence) and have the ability to even combat childhood disorders (such as ADD etc.)
