By David Reynolds

Fish oil is the best source of omega 3 fatty acids and research has proven that this can make us healthy for a lifetime.

How can we benefit from fish oil?

It can reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease later in life. It is also said to be good for the development of the brain. There are claims that it can help people get higher scores in IQ tests too. It is also said to reduce depression tendencies and gives fewer headaches. People experiencing arthritis should also try this as it can reduce arthritis pain. It is good for the heart and is a good protection against prostate and breast cancer. It can also help those with diabetes. It basically has a lot of health benefits.

We should know that both men and women need sufficient amounts of EPA and DHA. Both are vital factors that contribute to a healthy pregnancy. Women need the omega 3 fatty acids for healthy egg cell production and men for healthy sperm cells.

As early as the time of pregnancy, a baby's brain needs omega 3 fatty acids for its proper development. Fish intake can also help in the development of the brain as it has been known to be a food for the brain. According to scientists, a baby's brain is made up of 70% long chain omega 3 fatty acids like DHA, and around more than 60% can be found in an adults brain as well.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) recommends to pregnant and nursing women the inclusion of 1200 mg of pure omega 3 fish oil in their daily diet, as this contains both DHA and EPA.

Other adults are also encouraged to consume at least 1000 mg of pure omega 3 fish oil daily by the NIH. You may want to know why? Just take a look at these results.

Several scientific researches has shown results that fish oil is can help prevent inflammatory disorders like rheumatoid arthritis, ulcerative colitis, bursitis, cystitis, and other disorders, because of the presence of EPA and DHA.

Although fish oil does not necessarily cure the said diseases, it does give safe and natural relief to the said health problems without side effects.

According to researchers, EPA and DHA helps in regulating blood pressure and improve cholesterol levels. It can help prevent heart diseases naturally. It also helps minimize irregular heartbeats and blood clots which is the number one cause of stroke and can lead to a possible cardiac arrest.

Finally, patients who are terminally ill with cancer can have a higher survival rate and better quality of life when using omega 3 fish oil supplement in their diet. Researchers have also reported that it can reduce effects of Alzheimer's disease.

Truly adequate intake of omega 3 fatty acids can be beneficial to our health, while the lack of omega 3 fatty acids in the diet can cause some health problems like bipolar disorder, depression, pre-menstrual syndrome, violence and suicide.

It is really bothering to know what a large number of the population of America is deficient with these fatty acids. The survey showed more than 85% of them are deficient and also a large percentage among pregnant and lactating, 98% at that are getting less than 18% of the recommended NIH amount for them.

But not only that, data also reveals that nearly 20% of Americans have extremely low DHA and EPA, and this is evident in test results where no traces of DHA and EPA are found in their blood. These two are two of the omega 3 fatty acids.

You are now given the chance to make sure you do not get such deficiency. You can try taking in high quality and pure fish oil daily as supplements, or you may begin eating fatty fish like sardines, tuna, herring, anchovies and salmon. - 17274
