Emerging Evidence Supports
Health Benefits of Omega-3 Fish Oil

Omega 3 Fatty Acids have found to be high in both EPA & DHA and Studies have proven their effectiveness in the treatment of:

          

 

Studies throughout the world have widely accepted that the EPA and DHA found in fish oils protect the heart by lowering blood triglycerides, increasing HDL cholesterol levels, minimizing inflammation, and blood clotting. These factors combine to improve the health of blood vessels and lower the risks of death from a heart attack and reducing the incidence of heart disease.

Cholesterol is found in everyone’s arteries, for good and bad. The bad cholesterol – Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) – is a yellowish substance that clogs arteries. On the other hand, the good cholesterol – High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) – helps ‘exile’ the bad cholesterol to the liver, where it is destroyed. Omega 3 fatty acids help build up the HDL in the body and tip the scales in favour of the ‘good’ cholesterol over the ‘bad’.

It’s been proven that children who exhibit signs of ADD or ADHD have brains that are wired differently.   A growing brain requires Omega 3 Oils in order to develop properly.   When children with these signs are treated naturally with Omega 3 oils, studies have shown that their motor skills, reading and spelling abilities and behaviour all showed signs of improvement.

Studies have shown that taking Omega 3 oils both protect against irregular heartbeat and help lower blood pressure.   In addition, Omega 3 oils reduce cohesion between blood cells, making them less likely to form clots or block arteries and have anti-inflammatory properties, which help make artery walls less likely to rupture.

As more and more baby boomers age, arthritis will become more and more of a health issue.   For those suffering from one of the more painful types of this disease, rheumatoid arthritis. Omega 3 fish oils have been proven to reduce morning stiffness, reduce swelling in joints, and delay the onset of fatigue.

Omega-3 oils are an excellent, natural source of DHA, a crucial building block in the brain, which is necessary for brain cells to communicate with one another.   Lower levels of DHA in the brain not only impede memory but they may also increase aggression, cause depression, and contribute to dementia.
