The Benefit of Omega 3 Acids

November 29, 2008


One of the most popular nutrients in the body today is the Omega 3 fatty acid. It has been researched extensively, and its benefits to the body have been spoken and written about in almost all health articles.
Omega 3 fatty acids are found most commonly in fatty fish, soya bean, walnut oils, and leafy vegetables. Oil capsules also give out a considerable amount of Omega 3 acids.

People have begun to believe that daily intake of Omega3 acids is most beneficial to the health. More conscious food choices have begun to be made, and healthier choices of foods and oils are more comon today.

Research has been able to indicate that regular consumption of foods that contain these acids can help the occurrence of sudden cardian arrests and death caused from them. They help in lowering blood pressure, triglycerides, and decrease inflammation. They prevent the formation of excessive blood clots, which could also point out to the lowered risk of heart blockages. They prevent dementia and also alleviate depression.

A new stream of research has begun to indicate that Omega 3 acids may not spell only good for the body. Some research has begun to point to the fact that there may also be some dangers posed by the undue consumption of these acids They may stop the cells from functioning which could be unstable. In people who suffer from failure from the heart not receiving enough blood, removing these cells can further reduce the ability of the heart to pump blood, thereby increasing the risk of cardiac death.

For those who suffer recurrent angine, or those who have evidence of the heart not receiving sufficient flow of blood as they exercise, avoid Omega 3 acids. If you have had an attack, but do not have angine or congestive heart failure, Omega 3 acids may just be your saviour.
