			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many scientists believe that the discovery of fish oil as brain food</p>
<p>150,000 years ago became is the starting point that separates modern humans</p>
<p>from the ragtag band of earlier species. The discovery was actually an</p>
<p>accident since fat or oil from fish was a common diet of many early people</p>
<p>in the East African Rift Valley.</p>
<p>Fish oil is a brain food that caused their thinking skills to expand with</p>
<p>incredible speed, allowing them tremendous advantage over every other</p>
<p>species on the planet. Within a short time, they were able to dominate the</p>
<p>earth. For these believers’ fat or oil form fish is most likely the</p>
<p>candidate for the brain food that initiated their mental development. Fish</p>
<p>oil by then was a rare type of fat that would have been in short supply on</p>
<p>the plains of Africa but was found in great abundance in the lakes of the</p>
<p>East African Rift Valley.</p>
<p>They believe that fish oil is the crucial dietary factor that enabled early</p>
<p>generations to evolve into modern humans about 150,000 years ago. For them</p>
<p>it is the missing link that will allows us to age with our mental</p>
<p>capabilities completely free from many disorders. Dementia and depression</p>
<p>are one of these disorders, both a mental health problems.</p>
<p>Dementia is a loss of brain function and usually occurs with other</p>
<p>diseases. The causes of dementia are mostly not preventable. There are</p>
<p>studies that say that dementia can be controlled by practicing healthy</p>
<p>habits like quitting smoking, controlling high blood pressure and diabetes.</p>
<p>Dementia has many types and one of them is the vascular dementia, a type</p>
<p>that is caused by series of small strokes or changes in the brain’s blood</p>
<p>supply. A notable healthy habit that can help reduce vascular dementia is</p>
<p>by taking a low-fat diet and exercising regularly.</p>
<p>Depression on the other hand, is a psychoneurotic or psychotic disorder</p>
<p>with symptoms like severe sadness, inactivity, difficulty in thinking and</p>
<p>concentration, a significant increase or decrease in appetite and sleeping</p>
<p>time, feelings of hopelessness, and sometimes can lead to a suicide. A</p>
<p>recent study revealed that higher blood levels of eicosapentaenoic acid</p>
<p>(EPA) are associated with a lower risk of these two diseases among elderly</p>
<p>persons. EPA is found in certain fish and are believed by some to lower the</p>
<p>risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.</p>
<p>New medical research also revealed that almost every chronic disease is</p>
<p>affected by an imbalance of eicosanoids. It is by constantly controlling</p>
<p>insulin levels that a person can gain control of eicosanoids which is the</p>
<p>key to prevent diseases and maintain wellness. Eicosanoids affect our body</p>
<p>as a whole including the heart, mind and even emotions. Excess in insulin</p>
<p>leads to a wide range of disease conditions.</p>
<p>There is also a need for a person to regulate calorie without hunger or</p>
<p>deprivation. It is believe that by doing so, aging is reversed. And lastly</p>
<p>for a person to gain balance in her well-being, a person most supplement</p>
<p>her diet with tolerable amount of fish oil.</p>
<p>Hormones are the key to longevity and optimal health and you have the power</p>
<p>to control your hormones through your diet. Once you achieve this, you can</p>
<p>have the power to reverse the aging process, prevent heart disease, reverse</p>
<p>cancer, reduce pain and inflammation and treat neurological disease.</p>
<p>And since controlling your hormones is the key to a longer and better life,</p>
<p>fish oil is the missing link that allows you to achieve it with no side</p>
<p>effects.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The known benefits of fish oil are not just limited to the more common</p>
<p>conditions. Of course, many people have already known how using fish oil</p>
<p>may help improve skin health and reduce the risk of heart disease. But</p>
<p>there are also surprising benefits that fish oil seem to offer to those who</p>
<p>regularly consume them. Here are just some of them.</p>
<p>Depression And Anxiety<br />
People may not be aware of it, but fish oil seems to help put people in a</p>
<p>good mood. In fact, many studies have shown that fish oil may be beneficial</p>
<p>in trying to help treat depression and anxiety in people. Thanks to the</p>
<p>omega 3 fatty acids contained in fish oil, it seems a good means to relieve</p>
<p>anxiety, depression, stress and sadness in people.</p>
<p>Fish oil seems to have good mood stabilizing properties that make them</p>
<p>quite interesting as a treatment for depression and other related</p>
<p>conditions. Evidence suggests that countries where oily fish such as salmon</p>
<p>is regularly eaten also seem to have low incidence of depression. Similar</p>
<p>studies involving prisoners have also shown that having them on a diet rich</p>
<p>in omega 3 fatty acids resulted in a significant drop in homicide rates.</p>
<p>Although more studies may be needed in order for such findings to be</p>
<p>conclusive, it already shows some good evidences of the other surprising</p>
<p>benefits of fish oil.</p>
<p>Cancer Fighter<br />
It may seem quite surprising enough that fish oil may also benefit patients</p>
<p>with certain forms of cancer. Preliminary studies have shown that fish oil</p>
<p>may be useful in trying to delay the weight loss in people suffering from</p>
<p>pancreatic cancer. Still further research may be needed to solidify this</p>
<p>claim as well as how fish oil may affect certain types of cancers.</p>
<p>Type II Diabetes<br />
Some studies also have shown positive findings on the effect of fish oil in</p>
<p>Type II diabetes. Since people suffering from this form of diabetes are</p>
<p>also prone to developing diseases such as coronary heart disease,</p>
<p>atherosclerosis and stroke, medical experts believe that taking fish oil</p>
<p>supplements may also help in trying to reduce such risks in diabetics. Some</p>
<p>studies have already shown that fish oil may also be effective in lowering</p>
<p>triglyceride levels in people with diabetes.</p>
<p>Pregnancy<br />
Fish oil might also be able to help women bear healthier children. Taking</p>
<p>fish oil supplements may help pregnant women ensure the healthy development</p>
<p>of their child while still in the womb. The DHA found in fish oil is known</p>
<p>to help babies undergo healthy eye and brain development. Pregnant women</p>
<p>who are also taking fish oil supplements run fewer risks of having</p>
<p>premature births, miscarriage or delivering babies with low birth weights.</p>
<p>As an added benefit, pregnant women who regularly take fish oil supplements</p>
<p>run lesser risks of getting into depression following the baby’s delivery.</p>
<p>Fertility<br />
Fish oil supplements may also help in improving fertility. In a study done</p>
<p>on male boars, those who were fed with a diet rich in fish oils were able</p>
<p>to show better sperm quality.  After ejaculation, the sperm from the boars</p>
<p>fed with fish oil seem to resist the effects of lipid peroxidative attacks</p>
<p>in the female boar genital tract, giving the sperm higher chances of</p>
<p>conception.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For people who came to know the health benefits of fish oil, the next</p>
<p>question they ask is how much quantity does one take? Well, some would</p>
<p>recommend at least 3.5 grams a day while others suggest a mere 2.5 grams of</p>
<p>omega-3 fatty acids would be enough to get the whole health benefits of</p>
<p>fish oil. To be on the safe side, it would be better to consult your doctor</p>
<p>of nutritionist for the proper dosage of fish oil.</p>
<p>There are in fact a number of factors to consider. Take age for example. It</p>
<p>has been found out that the needs of younger people for essential fatty</p>
<p>acids are higher than the older folks. One of the possible reasons is the</p>
<p>fact that young people are more active which makes their needs for</p>
<p>essential fatty acids greater than old people who have gone on with their</p>
<p>retirements.</p>
<p>However, this should not be misunderstood that older people do not need</p>
<p>daily intake of fish oil. The dosage or amount only diminishes but the</p>
<p>importance of taking fish oil does not. Nothing can stress this more than</p>
<p>the studies that have been conducted in the past which shows that the</p>
<p>healthy essential fatty acids in fish oil help reduce and prevent the</p>
<p>inflammation of blood vessels which is linked to heart disease.</p>
<p>According to experts, the lack of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and the</p>
<p>docoxahexaenoic acid (DHA) can result to depression and heart disease. And</p>
<p>since EPA and DHA are the primary omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil the</p>
<p>significance of fish oil in one’s diet cannot and should not be undermined.</p>
<p>Plus, our body cannot produce essential fatty acids so our only hope to get</p>
<p>them is through an outside source. Only by eating fish rich in fats and oil</p>
<p>or taking those commercially available fish oil supplement capsules does</p>
<p>our body get the necessary supply of omega-3.</p>
<p>Probably one way of determining the amount of omega-3 you take also depends</p>
<p>on your intake amount of omega-6 fatty acids. You can find omega-6 acids</p>
<p>from common vegetable cooking oils like canola oil, soybean oil, corn oil</p>
<p>and sunflower oil. These are present in a lot of food available in the</p>
<p>supermarket, most especially the processed ones.</p>
<p>We need to balance the intake of omega-3 and omega-6 since the latter</p>
<p>compete for enzymes with the former. And too much omega-6 could result to</p>
<p>inflammation which can later affect the heart. The effects of omega-6</p>
<p>counters the benefits omega-3 gives the heart. According to some experts,</p>
<p>having a ratio of 2 to 1, omega-6 to omega-3, would be the best combination</p>
<p>to have. The ratio properly balances the effects of both essential fatty</p>
<p>acids.</p>
<p>Other doctors recommend taking only a minimal quantity of say 2.5 grams per</p>
<p>day or even lower depending on how much it will take to maintain your state</p>
<p>of health. Taking too much might result to bodily imbalance which can</p>
<p>become harmful to your overall health. However, if you have a certain</p>
<p>disease or existing condition like, your doctors might prescribe you a</p>
<p>stronger daily dosage of fish oil to help you cope and regain your health.</p>
<p>To sum up, the quantity of fish oil you should take depends on your state</p>
<p>of health, diet, age, among other factors. Consulting your doctors would be</p>
<p>the best move before starting on a daily intake of fish oil.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It seems that a lot of research and studies are showing how effective fish</p>
<p>oil is in helping improve our heart conditions.  Studies in Denmark showed</p>
<p>that fish oil could reduce heart attacks by 50 %.  While the Journal of</p>
<p>American Medical Association published a report from Harvard School of</p>
<p>Public Health that states that women who consume fish with higher Omega-3</p>
<p>fatty acid lessens their risk of incurring any heart disease.</p>
<p>These evidences show us how good Omega-3 fatty acid is to our body.  This</p>
<p>would actually improve our life and lengthen our life span.  High contents</p>
<p>of Omega-3 fatty acids can be found in fish like salmon, mackerel,</p>
<p>sardines, herring and anchovies.  They have docosahexaenoic acid or DHA and</p>
<p>eicosapentaenoic acid or EPA which have anti-inflammatory and</p>
<p>anti-coagulant effects.</p>
<p>Omega-3 fatty acid belongs to the polyunsaturated fats, along with omega-6</p>
<p>fatty acid.  Omega- 6 acid come mainly from vegetable oil.  Omega-6 oils</p>
<p>can also provide the body with heart and health benefits, but too much is</p>
<p>also bad for the body.  Omega-3 fatty acids do not only help in heart</p>
<p>issues, but also support brain development.</p>
<p>EPA and DHA are very important to our body.  But the body does not produce</p>
<p>Omega-3 fatty acid.  We have to get the nutrients from our food.  Omega-3</p>
<p>acids are called or referred to as building blocks of the body.  They help</p>
<p>the brain and vision development, not only for children but for adults as</p>
<p>well.</p>
<p>Italian researchers actually say that consuming about 1 gram of Omega-3 per</p>
<p>day would show significant effects on reducing heart attacks.  A gram of</p>
<p>Omega-3 fatty acid can be present in a medium sized serving of salmon.</p>
<p>How do these acids exactly reduce heart attack risks?</p>
<p>They reduce triglyceride levels.  Triglycerides come from fats of the food</p>
<p>that we eat and calories not digested. In excessive amount, tryglycerides</p>
<p>can cause coronary heart disease.  They are just like cholesterol, they</p>
<p>block the arteries and these can lead to heart attacks.</p>
<p>Aside from that they can also stabilise irregular heart beat.  It can lower</p>
<p>blood pressure and increase the level of good cholesterol.  They also have</p>
<p>anti-inflammatory characteristics.  They are also anti-coagulant which</p>
<p>means they make sure that they platelets do not stick together are clot.</p>
<p>These clotted platelets can also block the arteries and the blood flow. You</p>
<p>call this Thrombosis.</p>
<p>But according to a research led by Dr. Jochen Senges of the University of</p>
<p>Heidelberg, the risk for a second attack among patients who used</p>
<p>recommended medications compared with those who are using fish oil has no</p>
<p>significant difference.  It just show how important it is to avoid getting</p>
<p>any heart attack in the first place.</p>
<p>You can take fish oil supplement or eat a lot of fatty fish but if you do</p>
<p>not combine them with a healthy heart diet, still it is going to be</p>
<p>useless.  A healthy heart diet would include high fiber food like</p>
<p>vegetables, fruits, whole grains, beans and nuts.  Aside from eating fish,</p>
<p>eating good quality protein products like lean poultry, non-fat dairy, and</p>
<p>other products that does not contain saturated fat or trans fat.</p>
<p>Fish oil is not a magic pill which can transform you immediately into a</p>
<p>healthy person just by taking them. Being a healthy person does not only</p>
<p>require taking food supplements but also eating properly and healthily.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Fish oil is not only good for the heart and for our overall health, this is</p>
<p>also good for our brain. Fish oil comes from fatty fish like salmon,</p>
<p>mackerel, herring, sardines and anchovies.  It contains Omega-3 fatty acid</p>
<p>docosahexaenoic acid or DHA and eicosapentaenoic acid or EPA.  These kind</p>
<p>of Omega-3 fatty acids cannot be produced by the body so it is important to</p>
<p>take in food that contain these kinds of nutrients.</p>
<p>Fish oil is said to improve brain development and memory.  DHA plays a</p>
<p>major role in the structure and development of the brain.  It is also</p>
<p>important in developing vision.  Pregnant women’s diet should constitute</p>
<p>fish oil since DHA is important for the baby to develop their brain.</p>
<p>According to the research by the University of Western Australia, expectant</p>
<p>mothers who include DHA in their diet are said to give birth to babies with</p>
<p>better eye and hand coordination and less risk of giving birth prematurely.</p>
<p>Their children are also better speakers and could understand more at the</p>
<p>age of two and a half. Although, if you are pregnant and would like to take</p>
<p>fish oil supplement, it is better check with your doctor first.  Fish oil</p>
<p>is also said to result into bleeding as a side-effect.</p>
<p>Research and studies showed that adding fish oil to your diet could also</p>
<p>reduce possibility and risks of mental and psychological disorders like</p>
<p>depressive orders, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), bipolar</p>
<p>disorder, Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.</p>
<p>Actually, according to a study by Aberdeen University they identified that</p>
<p>fish oil can actually increase IQ scores and can even slow the ageing</p>
<p>process. According to a Swedish study published in the Archives of</p>
<p>Neurology, patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer were given 1.7 grams of</p>
<p>DHA and .6 grams of EPA.  They showed less cognitive decline in six months.</p>
<p>As mentioned, fish oil is recommended for children who have ADHD.  There</p>
<p>are studies showing that the lack polyunsaturated fatty acids can</p>
<p>contribute to this disorder.  This can also be the reason behind dyslexia.</p>
<p>There were studies conducted among children, they were given fish oil</p>
<p>supplements for the period of three months.  These children showed</p>
<p>significant improvements in behaviour, reading and spelling.  They were</p>
<p>also able to focus and concentrate more.</p>
<p>There were studies that showed that Omega-3 fatty acids had the same</p>
<p>effects as Prozac which is a known anti-depressant.  Studies showed that</p>
<p>countries with high fish consumption have lower rates of depression.  Aside</p>
<p>from that, pregnant women and those who have just given birth who include</p>
<p>fish in their diet regularly have lower risk of experiencing postpartum</p>
<p>depression.</p>
<p>If you have decided to take fish oil supplements to address these mental</p>
<p>problems for yourself or for your kids or relatives, then it would be best</p>
<p>to consult a doctor first.  You would have to know how much you are going</p>
<p>to take.  Just like any vitamins or anything, when taken in excess it can</p>
<p>have bad effects.</p>
<p>Too much of fish oil supplement can also cause some serious problems like</p>
<p>oxidative stress.  Some doctors would recommend taking Vitamin C along with</p>
<p>the fish oil supplement.  This would actually balance the nutrients that</p>
<p>you are getting.</p>
<p>Fish oil has amazing effects on our health and body, we just have to</p>
<p>remember to keep it balanced with a healthy diet and healthy lifestyle.</p>

<p>fish. These fish along with herring, sardines, flounder and lake trout</p>
<p>contains omega-3 fatty acids.</p>
<p>However, just to clarify the fish themselves are not capable of producing</p>
<p>the oil themselves. In the case of herrings and sardines, they accumulate</p>
<p>the omega-3 deposits from eating microalgae that produces them. And</p>
<p>mackerel, salmon, flounder, and trout get their supply from eating small</p>
<p>fishes like the herrings.</p>
<p>Now aside from the omega-3, other fatty acids present in what we may call</p>
<p>oily fishes are the eicosapentaenoic acid or EPA and docosahexaenoic acid</p>
<p>or DHA. You have probably heard of these two from commercials or</p>
<p>advertisements which markets products that contain these acids. EPA and DHA</p>
<p>can play an important role in the development of one’s brain, helps keep</p>
<p>the nervous system in top shape and even protect people from heart disease.</p>
<p>If you, however, find that these benefits are not enough then I don’t fret</p>
<p>fro there are a number of other great advantages from including fish oil in</p>
<p>one’s diet. Let us begin.</p>
<p>Another good reason of making oily fish part of the daily meals or</p>
<p>considering fish oil as food supplement is that it can reduce the risk of</p>
<p>getting cancer. May it be breast, prostate or colon cancer, fish that are</p>
<p>rich in fatty acids were found to be capable of stopping the development</p>
<p>and spread of cancer cells to healthy ones.</p>
<p>And what about the findings that pregnant women has less chance of</p>
<p>developing complications during pregnancies? You see, those fatty and oily</p>
<p>fishes are more than just a treat to the palates. The fish oil, moreover,</p>
<p>helps prevent premature delivery and low birth weight. In fact, women who</p>
<p>consumed fish oil during their pregnancy were found to deliver babies that</p>
<p>are stronger against allergies.</p>
<p>Besides the things that have mentioned so far, fish oil seems to be quite</p>
<p>beneficial for our eyesight as well. As we grow older our eyesight slowly</p>
<p>diminishes. That’s why a lot of older folks need corrective eyeglasses or</p>
<p>even surgery just to see a little bit clearer. Fish oil helps improves</p>
<p>eyesight, decrease the dryness, and prevents the decline of eyesight in old</p>
<p>age.</p>
<p>Other known benefit include treatment for inflammatory bowel disorders,</p>
<p>rheumatoid arthritis and even systemic lupus. Not to mention, fatty acids</p>
<p>from fish can help prevent a variety of depression and anxieties. The</p>
<p>omega-3 in the fatty acids are good for relieving anxiety, sadness, stress,</p>
<p>mental fatigue, restlessness, suicidal tendencies and some nervous</p>
<p>disorders. Even those who have been diagnosed with bipolar disorders are</p>
<p>encouraged to include fish oil in their diet.</p>
<p>If you by now you’re still not loving fish oil then I don’t know what else</p>
<p>to say. Since studies are being conducted continuously, scientists will</p>
<p>find more benefits from eating fish oil. They will find a whole new list of</p>
<p>why it would be good to add fish oil in one’s diet.</p>
<p>However, even at this time with the different benefits that have been</p>
<p>cites, I have no reason to doubt that one really gotta love fish oil.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;What are the healing benefits of Fish oil and how can it help someone with</p>
<p>cardio  vascular diseases?&#8221;</p>
<p>This is one of today&#8217;s biggest question on one of this century&#8217;s enigmatic</p>
<p>disease called cardio vascular  diseases, which is often associated with</p>
<p>one’s lifestyle, diet and even stress and depression.</p>
<p>The primary cause of cardio vascular  diseases is still not known, however,</p>
<p>experts agree that emotional or physical trauma are among the factors that</p>
<p>develop the disease. Some experts also believe that cardio vascular</p>
<p>patients have constant abnormal transmission responses to pain.</p>
<p>Insomnia and other sleep disorders are also common in cardio vascular</p>
<p>patients, leading to increased stress levels on the patient and could</p>
<p>rapidly spread the disease throughout the human body, while another theory</p>
<p>supposes that cardio vascular  diseases is also linked to the metabolical</p>
<p>changes in a person&#8217;s blood flow, leading to symptoms of weakness and</p>
<p>chronic fatigue.</p>
<p>A much more simpler theory suggests that cardio  vascular  diseases may be</p>
<p>inherited and flows along family lines, still there is also no proof to</p>
<p>attest to that claim.</p>
<p>Although there is no established prevention for cardio  vascular  diseases</p>
<p>to occur in a person, the management and treatment of the disease has</p>
<p>significantly improved and advanced over the years.</p>
<p>Despite the somewhat enigmatic cause of this disease, one treatment method</p>
<p>that is popularly adopted by cardio vascular patients is an Asian</p>
<p>therapeutic treatment approach is fish oil supplements, since it is a very</p>
<p>good source of Omega 3 acids which significantly help in ensuring good</p>
<p>oxidation in the body and helps improve blood circulation and muscle</p>
<p>strengthening, among them the human heart.</p>
<p>Fish oil has been adopted as a good treatment for internal diseases for</p>
<p>over a thousand years now and traces its roots back to ancient Japanese and</p>
<p>Chinese natural healing methods.</p>
<p>Currently, thousands of cardio vascular sufferers have benefited from the</p>
<p>healing powers of fish oil, and many of these consistent testimonials are</p>
<p>that it significantly relieves stress and anxiety, strengthens the body&#8217;s</p>
<p>natural self-healing ability, balances the functions of the human organs</p>
<p>and glandular systems, promotes a positive spiritual and emotional</p>
<p>well-being, enhances relaxation including sleep, relieves pain, removes</p>
<p>toxins from the body and strengthens the body&#8217;s immune system.</p>
<p>Today, cardio vascular diseases and fish oil are mutually associated with</p>
<p>each other, since a growing number of cardio vascular patients have found</p>
<p>fish oil to be a healthy alternative to the treatment of the disease,</p>
<p>although it is pointed out that it is not a direct healing medication that</p>
<p>will actually &#8216;cure&#8217; the disorder, its supplemental properties- when</p>
<p>administered accordingly with conventional treatment- hastens the healing</p>
<p>process.</p>
<p>The healing benefits of fish oil – especially for those suffering from</p>
<p>cardio  vascular  diseases &#8211; are not just made popular by lip service or</p>
<p>media hype, but more from the results of a healing experience that have</p>
<p>eased the suffering and pain of thousands of those with cardio vascular</p>
<p>diseases.</p>
<p>Science and technology has indeed found a way to harness this wealth of the</p>
<p>deep for the benefit of mankind and now that we have it at the palm of our</p>
<p>hands and what better way to make the most of it is to embrace the healing</p>
<p>benefits of fish oil to our day to day living, be it for treatment or even</p>
<p>just as a health supplement</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Fish oils are extracted fats from fish, a concentrated solution of omega-3</p>
<p>EFAs. It is the best source of omega-3 EFAs. You could add more omega-3</p>
<p>EFAs to your diet in the form of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). The richest</p>
<p>plant sources of ALA are the leaves and seeds of the perilla plants common</p>
<p>in North America, Japan, Korea, China and Vietnam.</p>
<p>Green plants and algae also contain ALA as well as linseed oil. However,</p>
<p>fats or oil from fish is considered the most important dietary source of</p>
<p>omega-3 EFAs because it has concentrated amounts of the ALA derivatives EPA</p>
<p>and DHA. These two nutrients are found almost exclusively in seafood.</p>
<p>Eating fish on a regular basis has its own risk as you are can never be</p>
<p>sure if the fish you are eating has no toxins on it such as mercury and</p>
<p>PCBs. During the manufacture of fish oils, toxins are eliminated. The</p>
<p>supplements are meticulously purified to remove heavy metals such as</p>
<p>mercury, lead, PCBs and other toxins as well as to reduce the incidence of</p>
<p>rancidity and improve the taste and quality of the fish oil.</p>
<p>These makes fish oils as safe and effective food supplement. A 1-gram fish</p>
<p>oil capsule contains about 180 mg of EPA and 120 mg of DHA. An intake of</p>
<p>three 1-gram capsules would provide 0.9 gram (900 mg) of EPA and DHA. This</p>
<p>means it comply the daily dosage recommended by the American Heart</p>
<p>Association. However, you should always bear in mind that fish oil</p>
<p>supplements are basically dietary supplements, not drugs.</p>
<p>Studies shows that many people are getting too much of the wrong kinds of</p>
<p>fats found in animals (saturated fats) and vegetables (polyunsaturated</p>
<p>fats), and need the fish oil to “balance” the family of fat nutrients.</p>
<p>Intake of the wrong kinds of fats should be lowered to total 20 to 30</p>
<p>percent of daily calorie serving while fats found in the oils of certain</p>
<p>fish should be appreciably increased.</p>
<p>Fish oil prevents and/or alleviates heart disease, high blood pressure,</p>
<p>arthritis and migraine, headaches, may be protective against cancer, immune</p>
<p>deficiency diseases, kidney disease and others. Fish oils also have two</p>
<p>special nutrients that protect the heart and arteries, reduce pain,</p>
<p>inflammation and swelling, and protect cell membranes. Omega-3 EFAs found</p>
<p>in oily fishes are believed to be essential for the healthy development of</p>
<p>brain, retina, and nervous tissue among fetus and infant.</p>
<p>During pregnancy these fatty acids are transferred from the mother&#8217;s</p>
<p>tissues to the fetus. However, the FDA has strict guidelines on eating fish</p>
<p>during pregnancy because of the possibility of mercury or other toxic</p>
<p>substances that may contain in fishes and the best solution is to take fish</p>
<p>oil as food supplement</p>
<p>Over the past 30 years more than 7,000 scientific studies have provided</p>
<p>evidence supporting the effectiveness of fish oil and omega-3 EFAs in the</p>
<p>prevention and treatment of our most common diseases. Hundreds of clinical</p>
<p>trials support the efficacy of fish oil&#8217;s omega-3 essential fatty acids in</p>
<p>preventing, mitigating, and remedying an incredible range of health</p>
<p>conditions. Some scientific and medical communities however are resisting</p>
<p>to these facts and still support pharmacological treatment.</p>
<p>As a traditional dietary supplement that encourages good health, fish oil</p>
<p>is a preventive medicine but as a natural alternative to NSAIDs or</p>
<p>non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and other pharmacological and medical</p>
<p>treatments, it is complementary medicine.</p>
<p>With all the undergoing studies to prove its affectivity, fish oil is on</p>
<p>the threshold of crossing over into traditional Western medicine.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the reasons why people take fish oil supplements is due to the</p>
<p>various health benefits that they offer. Fish oil has long been known to</p>
<p>contain essential fatty acids that are known to be very beneficial in</p>
<p>maintaining one’s good health. Here are some of those benefits.</p>
<p>Heart Disease<br />
One of the more common benefits that fish oil is known to offer people</p>
<p>involves heart health. Various studies through the years have shown that</p>
<p>the long chain omega 3 fatty acids contained in fish oil may help reduce</p>
<p>the risk of heart diseases in humans. These essential fatty acids may also</p>
<p>help lower LDL cholesterol in the bloodstream ad therefore help reduce the</p>
<p>risk of heart attacks and stroke. Not only that, omega 3 fatty acids found</p>
<p>in fish oil are also known to increase the levels of HDL, or good,</p>
<p>cholesterol.</p>
<p>Prevent Inflammation<br />
One of the more beneficial properties of omega 3 fatty acids found in fish</p>
<p>oil is their anti-inflammatory effects on the body. Fish oil can be used to</p>
<p>prevent or reduce the inflammation of the tissues. Regular consumption of</p>
<p>fish oil has been known to help those people who are suffering from chronic</p>
<p>inflammatory diseases. Fish oil has also been known to be effective in</p>
<p>treating certain gastrointestinal disorders as well as ulcerative colitis</p>
<p>and inflammatory bowel disease.</p>
<p>Arthritis Treatment<br />
Due to its good anti-inflammatory properties, fish oil is a good supplement</p>
<p>that can help ease the pain brought about by arthritis and rheumatism. Fish</p>
<p>oil supplements can help reduce the use of NSAID’s or Non Steroidal</p>
<p>Anti-Inflammatory drugs for treating such conditions. In osteoarthritis,</p>
<p>fish oils prove helpful in trying to reduce the functions of certain</p>
<p>enzymes that may destroy or damage cartilage tissues in the body.</p>
<p>Weight Loss<br />
Fish oil may also prove beneficial for those people who are trying to lose</p>
<p>weight. It sees that taking fish oil supplements may help a lot during the</p>
<p>weight loss process. Fish oil has been known to improve the efficiency of</p>
<p>exercise in trying to lose weight. Studies have shown that people who were</p>
<p>given fish oil as part of their diet seem to lose weight more when</p>
<p>exercising than those people under the same program but were not given fish</p>
<p>oil in their diet.</p>
<p>Eye Disorders<br />
Another benefit that many experts have extolled on fish oil involves the</p>
<p>treatment of certain eye disorders. Consuming fish oil on a regular basis</p>
<p>seems to help people avoid the effects of age related macular degeneration.</p>
<p>More studies are being undertaken in order to prove further just how</p>
<p>effective fish oil can be in trying to help people maintain good eye</p>
<p>health.</p>
<p>Skin Health<br />
Another known benefit associated with fish oil consumption is skin health.</p>
<p>Fish oil is known to contain nutrients that can help change dry and poorly</p>
<p>maintained skin look shiny and glowing. Fish oil has also been known to be</p>
<p>effective in treating other skin conditions such as eczema, skin lesions</p>
<p>and rashes.</p>
<p>Fish oil can be applied topically on the skin to help relieve the effects</p>
<p>of psoriasis. Regular fish oil intake can also help retain moisture in the</p>
<p>skin.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Silent inflammation has been linked to heart disease, cancer and dementia.</p>
<p>It is a condition that occurs when the body&#8217;s natural immune response goes</p>
<p>awry. Silent inflammation is an inflammation without pain and it can</p>
<p>continue undetected for years, continually assaulting your heart, arteries</p>
<p>and even the brain &#8211; without you noticing it.</p>
<p>According to Dr. Barry Sears, author of bestselling books &#8220;The Zone,&#8221; high</p>
<p>carbohydrate diet is the culprit to this kind of health situation. In his</p>
<p>boos &#8220;The Anti-inflammation Zone,&#8221; he had proposed taking supplements of</p>
<p>high dose, ultra-refined fish oil as the best armor against inflammation.</p>
<p>The Japanese manage to maintain a state of wellness and away from silent</p>
<p>inflammation by consuming copious amounts of fish. However, according to a</p>
<p>research, the massive amounts of fish does not ensure them enough intake of</p>
<p>omega-3 fatty acids or fish oil. Fish oil is ultimately the healthiest fat</p>
<p>around because it has profiund anti-inflammatory properties. It has no</p>
<p>long-term side effects and can even make you smarter.</p>
<p>The reason why high-dose fish oil is so effective is because it reduces</p>
<p>arachodonic acid (AA) which is the building block of pro-inflammatory</p>
<p>eicosanoids. By taking it within 30 days, fish oil will increase your</p>
<p>levels of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). Fish oil is the only dietary</p>
<p>supplement that is supported by robust clinical studes by treating chronic</p>
<p>conditions like heart disease, cancer, immunological and inflammatory</p>
<p>diseases, and neurological conditions like attention deficit disorder,</p>
<p>depression, multiple sclerosis, and different types of dementia.</p>
<p>However, taking fish oil as defenses to silent inflammation has a drawback,</p>
<p>it might lead you to contamination. So in taking  fish oil as dietary</p>
<p>supplement, Dr. Barry Sears cautioned to ensure that its ultra-refined and</p>
<p>use the SIP as guidance for exact dosage. On a scale of 1 to 10 for</p>
<p>supplements, Dr. Sears give high-dose fish oil a 12. The EPA found in fish</p>
<p>oil partially inhibits the activity of the delta-5 desaturase enzyme that</p>
<p>makes AA.</p>
<p>This represents the primary anti-inflammatory effect of fish oil, he adds.</p>
<p>To achieve a significant impact on AA production, a person must provide a</p>
<p>lot of EPA. A high-dose fish oil, especially rich in EPA will likely lead</p>
<p>you to success in reducing silent inflammation as reflected in the</p>
<p>reduction of the AA/EPA ratio. The ratio can be measured by SIP.</p>
<p>The public and the mainstream medicine are starting to accept the</p>
<p>importance of insulin control to well-being. Now is the perfect time to</p>
<p>bring to public&#8217;s attention the role of eicosanoids and the way high-dose</p>
<p>fish oil can manipulate them. Dr. Barry Sears that the role of fish oil in</p>
<p>medical practice because it tells us that medical care is based primarily</p>
<p>on the food we eat, not the drugs we take.</p>
<p>Recent genetic research is forcing scientists to evaluate the value of fish</p>
<p>oil in the evolution of modern humANS. It was genetic scientists who</p>
<p>initiated the theory that consumption of high-dose fish oil was the reason</p>
<p>why humans have the power to conquer the earth. A proper combination of</p>
<p>insulin and high-dose pharmaceutical-grade fish oil may be the true miracle</p>
<p>cure for the 21st century.</p>
<p>Fish oil is so effective that having this dietary supplement is like having</p>
<p>a miracle drug that has the perfect balance between eicosanoids with</p>
<p>totally zero side effects.</p>
