Fish Oil for Health
We all need essential fatty acids for optimum
health, but most Americans are eating too many omega-6 fatty
acids (mainly through vegetable oils), and not enough omega-3
fatty acids (found in oily fish, walnuts and freshly ground
flaxseed). This imbalance can lead to an increased risk
of heart disease, inflammatory conditions, cancer and other
health concerns. While eating several servings of oily fish
per week (I like wild Alaskan salmon and sardines) is a
start, you may want to take fish oil supplements, especially
if you're a vegetarian or don't enjoy fish. Available in
liquid or capsule forms, both are effective at helping to
reduce elevated blood pressure, are beneficial to the nervous
system, can help treat mild to moderate depression, and
more. Look for capsules or oil that are certified free of
contaminants, and begin with small daily doses, building
up to the recommended amount.
