The many benefits of fish oilsMany of us know that fish oils are a very popular supplement, but why is this the case. Research studies show fish oil benefits are down right amazing. Studies are published almost daily as the scientific community discovers more and more of the many extraordinary omega 3 fish oil benefits. Omega 3’s (essential fatty acids) cannot be manufactured by the body so we need to consume them as foods or as a supplement. Fatty fish like mackerel, lake trout, herring, sardines, albacore tuna and salmon are high in two kinds of omega-3 fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). These are more easily consumed on a day to day basis by consuming fish oils in supplemental form. All good quality fish oils should be tested for any contaminants like mercury. If you haven't already been swept up in the net yet, here are 8 proven omega 3 benefits you should know about 1.

Through several mechanisms, they regulate your body's inflammation cycle, which prevents and relieves painful conditions like osteo-arthritis, prostatitis, and gastrointestinal conditions like Irritable bowel syndrome, and crohns disease. New research is showing fish oils are also helpful by relieving painful autoimmune disorders like rheumatoid arthritis. 2. Cardiovascular Health.Omega 3 fatty acids have also been proven to work wonders for your heart and the many miles of arteries and veins that make up your cardiovascular system. They help to lower cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL's and blood pressure, while at the same time increasing good HDL cholesterol. This adds years to your life expectancy. 3. Protection from Stroke and Heart Attack.When plaque builds up on arterial walls and then breaks loose, it causes what's known as a thrombosis, which is a fancy way of saying clot. If a clot gets stuck in the brain, it causes a stroke and when it plugs an artery, it causes a heart attack. Research shows omega 3 fatty acids break up clots before they can cause any damage by reducing the clotting tendency of blood. 4.
