Omega-3s Linked to Lower Heart-Risking Inflammation


Did you know that Omega-3s Linked to Lower Heart-Risking Inflammation? A new finding adds weight to prior evidence that diets rich in omega-3s may lower levels of a protein associated with inflammation and higher heart risks.

Health authorities worldwide recommend fatty fish and fish oil to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and its adverse outcomes. The adverse outcomes that omega-3-rich diets may help prevent include stroke and second heart attacks. Click Here To Read More.

  1. This is a good post. The importance of Epa fish oil in preventing heart disease has become very popular. The omega-3 fatty acids present in fish oil are responsible for not allowing clots in the arteries, which would have led to heart attacks. They also lower the levels of triglycerides and cholesterol in the blood. Blood pressure is also controlled and so is diabetes. All these diseases would have led to coronary heart disease.

  3. Good post. Our bodies do not manufacture Omega 3 fatty acids. But we need it, it's good for your brain and it's good for your heart. That's why doctors have been telling everyone for years to eat more fish because most seafood is packed with these great for you healthy fatty acids and is a great source of lean, low cholesterol protein. We just have to make sure that there will always be sustainable supplies of Omega 3 and protein rich fish, without poisoning our oceans, our fish and ultimately, ourselves. Again, thanks for the post.

  4. John, Joe, and Michael, thanks for your comments, seems like every couple of weeks a new study comes out about the benefits of seafood. While O3 capsules, like vitamins, are a good supplement, nothing beats the real deal, plus it tastes better..lol. The development of Aqua pods placed in deep waters is greatly reducing the environmental impact of aquaculture while at the same time taking the pressure off of the wild species. Overall aquaculture is far less polluting to the oceans than land farming and ranching.

  6. Well stated. We at Open Blue Sea Farms are working on ways of understanding the impact on our earth for harvesting sources of protein, i.e., livestock and seafood. Sort of a 'footprint' versus 'fishprint' white paper. We will issue it soon. Keep up the cause - we all need you
