FISH OIL AND ITS MANY MIRACLES

Fish oil supplements are one of the most used across the world. Even before the advent of curcumin, and other plant extract supplements, fish oil supplements were wildly popular. Whether you are an avid consumer or is thinking about starting on fish oil supplements, you may be curious about the exact benefits of fish oil, potential side effects etc. So below is a list to what you should know, starting with an impressive list of its benefits.

MAY SUPPORT PREGNANCY AND EARLY LIFE 

Omega 3s (which is abundant in dish oil) are essential for early growth and development. Studies indicate that fish oil supplements may improve hand-eye coordination of infants. Fish oil consumed during pregnancy and breast feeding may also improve infant visual development and reduce infant allergies. Further, there have been researches that suggest the reduction of childhood asthma in relation to consuming fish oil during pregnancy. However, if you’re expecting, you shouldn't take fish oil on your own. Be sure to talk to your doctor about if it’s appropriate, and if so, the proper dosage and form.

MAY PREVENT CHRONIC INFLAMMATION

Chronic inflammation is associated with serious illnesses, such as obesity, diabetes, stress, depression, and heart disease. Oils extracted from fatty fish like sardines, anchovies, and mackerel provide two types of omega-3 fatty acids—eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)—that are known to help lower inflammation and generally improve inflammatory conditions in the body. Because chronic, low-grade inflammation is associated with premature aging and a number of diseases, fish-derived omega-3s may offer a broad spectrum of health protection, thus improving the quality of life. 

IS GREAT FOR HEART HEALTH

Known to help increase “good” HDL cholesterol, lower triglycerides (or blood fats), reduce blood pressure, prevent plaques from forming and hardening of the arteries, experts believe fish oil may support the health of your heart.

HELP WITH WEIGHT LOSS

Some studies indicate that fish oil supplements, in combination with diet or exercise, can help you lose weight.  Fish oil does this by stimulating areas in the brain that controls food intake. Supplemental fish oil has also been shown to slow the normal decline in muscle mass and function in men and women between 60 and 85. The good fats in fish oil also help to stimulate muscle protein growth, and improve muscle mass, even in sedentary older adults, and bolster resistance training-induced increases in muscle strength.

KEEPS YOUR BRAIN SHARP

A study conducted showed that fish oil improved cognitive performance in adults aged between 51-72 in just 5 weeks. Research also suggests higher levels of omega 3s in blood with lower risk of depression and anxiety. Moreover, when used adjunct with antidepressant therapies, fish oil supplement was shown to be beneficial when compared to placebo. 

Now that you have acquainted with the many but not exhaustive benefits of fish oils, the next question is how can you include it into your daily regimen and how much is too much? Some experts recommend choosing a supplement that provides 1,000 mg of DHA and EPA combined daily. Now if you consume enough fatty fish daily, you probably won’t require a supplement. But that is not the case with most of us. Here is when a good supplement comes to play.  Curegarden’s Omega-3 50 does all what is mentioned above and more. Each capsule contains Omega -3 –Fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) ,not less than 30 % and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Sticking to the prescribed dosage can make sure that all your DHA and EPA needs are met. 

Fish oil has a blood thinning effect, so too much can increase bleeding risk, especially if it's combined with other blood thinners, like aspirin, or supplemental vitamin E, garlic, ginger, ginseng, ginkgo, and turmeric. Therefore, as is the case with every supplementation, make sure to consult your doctor before you start.
