high quality, molecularly distilled fish oils to her patients. Please read below her article on the numerous health benefits of taking Fish Oils and eating fish!
Fish Oil Health Benefits are numerous, and based on hundreds of clinical studies. The mainstream medical community first discovered the health benefits of omega 3 fatty acids in the 1970s, when physicians became aware of the exceptional health of Greenland Eskimos.
Scientists observed that the Eskimos consumed a high-fat diet, based primarily on fish. In spite of this, they enjoyed a low incidence of heart disease, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, and other debilitating health conditions related to inflammation.
Medical research soon revealed that two of the omega-3 essential fatty acids that comprised much of the Eskimo's diet actually possessed beneficial health properties. These fatty acids are DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid).
Over the course of extensive studies, DHA and EPA have been shown to exhibit powerful anti-inflammatory effects.
Fish oil's ability to prevent or reduce inflammation is one of the main reasons it is so helpful in combating a number of health problems. But cardiovascular disease, arthritis, diabetes, gout, inflammatory bowel disease, and high blood pressure are just a few medical problems that regular omega 3 supplementation can help to prevent.
Fish oil benefits also extend to preventing allergies, improving brain function, boosting skin health, optimizing vision, fighting certain cancers, and much more.
