The Heart and Circulation
- Consumption of Omega-3 appears
to reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke because
it seems to:
- Reduce the tendency for blood
to clot
- Lowers the level of fats
circulating in the blood dicreasing triglycerids and
LDL
- Cuts the risk of an irregular
heartbeat (arrhythmia)
Can reduce high blood
pressure
|
|
|
The Joints
- Omega-3 is believed to reduce
the stiffness and pain in the joints of rheumatoid
arthritis sufferers.
|
 |
|
Growing Brain
- Pregnant and breast-feeding
mothers are believed to benefit from a high Omega-3
intake. It appears to be a vital component of the
baby's brain, which grows rapidly in the last 3 months
of pregnancy and the first 6-12 months after birth.
|
 |
|
Behavior
- Because of the apparent impact
of Omega-3 on the brain, research is being concentrated
on a wide range of behavioral problems, such as Hyperactivity
in children, Depression and Alzheimers. Evidence supporting
the beneficial influence of Omega-3 in this area is
not conclusive, but is strengthening.
Additionally, research is beginning
to show possible benefits in other areas, including
some cancers (breast and prostate), type 2 diabetes
and asthma.
