Fish Oil: An Important Part Of Your Diet

Fish oil is very important to human health and development. Many scientists believe that for much of human evolution our ancestors lived in coastal areas and got much of their nutrition from fish and especially shellfish. Recent studies seem to bear this out - showing that the human brain is composed of a significant percentage of oils who's only main source is fish.

There are many health benefits from consuming fish oil (http://www.omega-3.us/). It can help control blood serum cholesterol so preventing cardio-vascular disease as well as high blood pressure. It is also sometimes used in the treatment of depression, others have claimed that it can help with other mental problems, Alzheimer's disease and even improve people's memories.

Perhaps the most important ingredient in fish oil is omega 3. These essential fatty acids cannot be produced by the human body and are rarely found in plants, even then only in small quantities. It is especially important for pregnant women to take omega 3 since the development of the unborn child's brain and eyes may suffer if the mother does not consume enough.

As more studies have slowly begun to take place, a strong link has been developed between a lack of omega 3 and a variety of health problems. Among the diseases now begining to be associated with a lack of omega 3 are asthma and the now ever more occuring diagnosis of Attention Deficit Disorder. A correlation has also been noted relating an omega 3 deficiency during pregnancy to poor hand-eye coordination, poor social skills and decreased IQ in children.

Fish which contain large amounts of omega 3 include salmon, sardines and herring. However, eating large quantities of fish is not necessarily safe since dangerous heavy metals from water pollution can accumulate to hazardous levels in the bodies of fish. In addition, fish livers may contain high levels of rentinol - an active form of Vitamin A - which can be dangerous at high doses.

The benefits of omega 3 are only experienced in the recommended daily amount by about 2% of the population. This is a frightening statistic that needs to be rectified. One reason the supplements are avoided is the fear of a fishy taste. For those that dislike the taste of fish oil supplements, capsule form is available. Be cautious and make sure the supplements are mecury free. Other dangerous metals should have been removed as well. Purification of the supplements helps the body digest them more efficiently.

Fish oil (http://www.omega-3.us/) controls blood serum cholesterol and helps in treating high blood pressure, prevention of heart disease and neurological conditions such as depression and memory loss.

An important ingredient, called omega 3 benefits (http://www.omega-3.us/omega-3/omega-3-benefits/) pregnant women in helping the unborn child's proper development of brain and eyes. This fatty acid is extracted from sardines, salmons and herrings. Many companies market the oil supplements in capsules.
