Omega-3 fatty acids and fish oils prevent heart disease, says research
by Mike Adams, NaturalNews Editor
New research shows that consuming omega-3 fatty acids and fish oils greatly reduces a person's risk of heart disease. These so-called good fats have long been known to reduce the risk of heart disease, but this new research is adding scientific merit to the knowledge. So where should you get your healthy oils? From oily fish, flax oil, and nutritional supplements. Be sure to supplement your diet with healthy oils every day in order to get their full benefit.
- Eating fish benefits those who are at high risk for ischemic heart
disease (IHD), and sudden cardiac deaths occur less frequently in those
who habitually eat ocean fish, a major source of omega-3 fatty acids.
- In a new study published in the American Journal of Clinical
Nutrition, Nestel et al. examined the role that omega-3 fatty acids play
in improving systolic and pulse pressure and vascular resistance,
effects that may reduce the risk of IHD and adverse cardiac events.
- Thirty-eight middle-aged men and women with elevated plasma total
cholesterol consumed an EPA supplement, a DHA supplement, or a placebo
during a 7-week dietary intervention.
