Many people suffer from different long term diseases nowadays and to prevent them others are looking for easy and simple natural remedies. Is there are magical cure which will help you prevent the worse long term diseases?
Fish oil is not something new, but since it has been studied for such a long time it would be safer to say that it has a shorter list of diseases and conditions which it does not help to prevent, than those that it has been shown to have a positive effect on. The benefits of fish oil reach way beyond than most of use believe.
The very first things that were found from fish oil are it’s negative effects on the CRP levels – C-Reactive Protein – which indicates that there is a reduction in ovverall body inflammation. If you have a flu or a bad infection in your body, the CRP levels sky rocket. So we can safely say that fish oil is definietly anti-inflammatory. But it does not end there.
Diabetic people have been shown to have an elevated CRP which has also been linked to different colorectal cancers. Diabetics also have serious issues with insulin sensitivity – most of the type 2 diabetics produce enough insulin but it simply does not work efficently on the tissues. Their pancreas are usually working extra hard in makeing excess amounts of insulin to keep the blood sugar down, but failing since it has no effect in the tissues. Fish oil has been shown to increase insulin sensitivity when used in larger doses – one to two table spoons a day. So we can most definitely say that it will also help you prevent diabetes and recently there has been proof about it also preventing colorectal cancer, and also other types of canccer.
The essential fatty acids that fish oil contains – EPA and DHA – have also been studied alongisde with multiple conditions that affect the nervous system. Since our brain is mostly formed from those fatty acids – mainly of DHA – it has been shown that with a good continuous dosage of omega-3 rich oils you can prevent Alzhaimers’s and other neurologic diseases.
Since omega-3 has been shown to have those anti inflammatory effects, all of the long term diseases which include inflammation – arthritis, acne and others.
