Fish oil is said to be a great source of health benefits. In what way? You may wonder how fish oil can help you live a longer, healthy life. Fish oil supplements help with atherosclerosis - a disease affecting arterial blood vessels. Fish oil begins to oxidize as soon as it is exposed to oxygen, metals, light, and heat. At late stages, oxidation will make the fish oil smell rancid, but early stages have almost no aroma, and are still harmful.
Omega-3 fats from fish or cod liver oil is important food choice you can add to your diet. There are some ways to know which fish oil is best for you:
•#Make sure that your brand is free of mercury and PCBs
•#Confirm that there are low oxidation products in your fish oil
•#Make certain that your fish oil or cod liver oil has therapeutic levels of vitamin E in it.
Taking fish oil can help regulate cholesterol in the body since fish oil has high levels of omega-3 fatty acids. It is also recommended to consume at least 1g of fish oil daily by eating fish for those who have coronary heart disease. It prevents hypertriglyceridemia – high blood levels of triglycerides, the most abundant fatty molecule in most organisms. It is also associated with atherosclerosis. It also helps prevent secondary cardiovascular disease and blood pressure. Fish oil may as well help protect the brain from problems associated with Alzheimer’s disease, help relieve asthma and prevents allergies and eczema during pregnancy.
