"Omega-3 fatty acids are not just good fats; they affect heart health in positive
way," said Dr. Penny Kris-Etherton, lead author of the report. They make the
blood less likely to form clots that cause heart attack and protect against irregular
heartbeats that cause sudden cardiac death.Omega-3
fatty acids (EPA/DHA) are essential for many systems within the body including:
- Cardiovascular System
- Immune System
- Hormonal and
- Nervous System
- Vision System (Eye Health)
Many nutrition experts recommend that we consume cold water
fish, such as salmon, on a regular basis to insure that we provide our bodies with this
essential nutrient. For many individuals, consuming fish on a regular basis may prove
difficult. Natural Asset Deep Sea Fish Oil Concentrate supplement offers you a convenient
way to provide your body with its daily requirement of omega-3 fatty acids (EPA &
DHA).
- EPA is a member of the Omega-3 fatty acid family. It is
required for the production of a special group of substances in the body called
prostaglandins, which control blood clotting and other arterial functions.
- DHA is a major component of the human brain tissues and the
retinal tissues of the eyes. DHA have vital role in replenishing the retinal
photoreceptor cells that provide colors, black-and-white, and detailed vision.1
Intake of DHA reduce triglyceride levels by 25% in one study, while another found
post-prandial triglyceride levels were reduce by nearly 50%. Traditionally, the more fatty
the meal, the higher the triglyceride level. The higher the fat from triglyceride, the
greater chance for plaque formation, which impedes the blood flow through the vessels to
photoreceptors for proper regeneration and vision. DHA sources show the same benefit
against cardiovascular disease of reducing triglyceride, increasing HDL cholesterol,
increasing blood DHA levels and reducing the risk of this heart disease.2
- DHA also serves the other important function of the
transmission of nerve impulses in the nervous system.
New research seems to explain how Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA
& DHA) consumed in oily fish protect against stroke and heart disease.
A team of researchers from the University Hospital
in Southampton, England, treated 188 stroke patients with Omega-3 fatty acids
and reported a significant reduction in the extent of atherosclerosis. They say the oils
transform dangerous atherosclerotic plaques into harmless scars.
Atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries, is a chronic
inflammatory disease. It may be a consequence of several risk factors such as smoking,
high blood pressure or an unhealthy, fatty diet. Atherosclerosis can lead to the formation
of blood clots, which may in turn cause strokes and heart attacks. So far, the main focus
of attention has been on the prevention of atherosclerosis and providing information about
the risk factors.
Some studies have demonstrated that Omega-3 fatty acids have
a preventive effect on cardiovascular disease but the new study shows that Omega-3 can
also have a therapeutic effect. The patients, divided into three groups taking either
Omega-3 fish-oil capsules, sunflower-oil capsules or a placebo six times a day, were
treated over an average period of 42 days. Fish oil patients received 1.4g of Omega-3
fatty acids daily.
The researchers report in the 8 February, 2003 issue
of The Lancet that Omega-3 fatty acids helped to make scars harmless and
stabilize the health in stroke patients who are at high risk of the atherosclerotic
plaques rupturing or forming clots. The team added that Omega-3 fatty acids can be
integrated into the sclerotic areas in the carotid artery. The results can be explained by
Omega-3’s anti-inflammatory effect.
"The discovery that atherosclerosis can be cured or
rendered harmless, as this study indicates, is ground-breaking. Stroke patients form a
large patient group for whom there are few available methods of treatment," said Dr
Arne T. Høstmark from the Section of Preventive Medicine and Epidemiology at the
University of Oslo, Norway.
