Omega 3 Fish Oil for Overall Health Omega 3 fish oil is essential to good health. And you can bet your life on it! It begins in the beginning. To get off to a good start, omega 3 fish oil fatty acids DHA, EPA and DPA are necessary for healthy conception, pregnancy and lactation. Production of fertile eggs and sperm, plus optimum growth and development of the fetus are all dependent on omega 3. But that's just the beginning. Omega 3 fish oil benefits continue for a lifetime. Studies published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition show that DHA, EPA and DPA lower cholesterol, triglycerides and blood pressure, as well as prevent and reduce the painful inflammation of arthritis, colitis, bursitis, asthma and emphysema. And they also significantly lower the risk of diabetes, certain cancers, heart disease, stroke and sudden cardiac death. [Vol. 71 (sup): 171s-75s] But DHA, EPA and DPA aren't the only omega 3 fatty acids. Although they're the best known, the rest of the fish oil family are important too. You'll soon be hearing more about the benefits of SDA, ETA, ETA(3) and HPA. You need a fully functional family of omega 3 oils. And the entire family is found only in fatty fish. Salmon, albacore tuna, sardines, anchovies and herring are the best natural source omega 3. These fatty acids are not found in shellfish, fresh water fish or lean fish, such as cod or halibut. And they're not found in flaxseed oil. A National Institutes of Health study published in the Journal of Lipid Research shows that none of the ALA in flax oil can convert into DHA and only 2% gets converted to EPA. The scientists concluded that flaxseed oil is not a viable source and should not be considered as a substitute for fish oil in the diet. [Vol. 42: 1257-65] It's better to be safe rather than sorry. Are you getting enough of these important fatty acids? Studies show 85% of Americans have a dietary deficiency. 20% are so low that no DHA, EPA or DPA can be found in their blood. To protect yourself from a whole list of chronic illnesses, it's best to eat more fatty fish and supplement your diet too. With good quality omega 3 supplements, you can make sure you're getting all the essential fatty acids that you need on a daily basis. What kind of results can you expect? You'll get more than just a greatly reduced risk of heart disease, cancer, diabetes, arthritis, Alzheimer's and other degenerative diseases. You can also expect younger looking skin, thicker shinier hair and healthier more flexible joints. PLUS (and that's a big plus), since fish oil has been proven to reduce all forms of depression and mood swings, with omega 3 fish oil you can have an overall feeling of well being and happiness for the rest of your life – naturally.
