Fish Oils, Vital For Good Health

06/09/08

A spoonful of Cod Liver Oil… If you’re over 50 this likely evokes bad memories of mom’s weekly, if not daily, routine to keep you healthy. Yes, we’d reluctantly line up for our individual dose of that dreadful tasting oil, hoping to somehow bypass our taste buds… it never did! Once down, we were haunted for hours by this terrible taste, as it resurfaced with every dreaded burp. It was hard to believe that anything this awful tasting could actually be good for you. But it was.

Due to our lack of appreciation for its value, many of us chose not to carry on this tradition with our children. However, Mom was able to convince some of us of its benefits, but we looked for tastier ways to deliver it. One favorite came is a brown bottle and was aptly named "Father John's." My son thought it was flavored with chocolate, but in reality the fish oil was camouflaged with a licorice. While I suffered from flashbacks, he would swallow it down and lick the spoon! Often I would whisper, "Thank you Father John's."

But that was yesterday… Thankfully, fish oil tonics have come a long way since the day of the foul tasting oils of our childhood. Available in liquid or capsule form, flavored or natural, with little or no after-taste! And kids have not been left out… there are even kid-friendly flavors in chewable omega-3 tablets, including a bubblegum flavor!

Benefits of Fish Oils in our Diet
Fish oil is even more important today, because our diets are generally so inadequate. Numerous studies have proven that Mom was right… fish oils are essential for maintaining optimal health. Omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oils have proven to do wonders for the heart, as well as the whole cardiovascular system. They not only lower blood pressure, bad cholesterol (LDL), and triglycerides, but they also raise good cholesterol (HDL), greatly reducing the risk of heart attacks and strokes. (See "Testimonial" at the end of article "Cholesterol Levels Down – Good News?").

Omega-3 fish oils also have a positive effect on the brain, improving memory, recall, reasoning and focus. They’ve been shown to improve and even alleviate symptoms of depression, including bipolar and psychosis (see Journal of Affective Disorder, Vol. 48 (2-3); 149-55). A natural enemy to cancer, omega-3 has proven helpful in the prevention of colon, breast and prostate cancers. Some studies have indicated that it may be especially beneficial for children with autism; and can improve the lives of children and adults with ADD and ADHD. The EPA and DHA in fish oil may also benefit individuals with cancer, multiple sclerosis, asthma, and systemic lupus erythematosus.

Why Fish Oil Supplements?
For a number of reasons, we just don’t consume enough fish oil through our normal diet. Some may be understandably concerned with the presence of mercury in fish and therefore limit their consumption or avoid it all together. Others just don’t like the “oily” taste of some fish. And finally, it’s almost impossible to consume enough fish to equal the amount of fish oil required for good health. Hence, there is a vital need for quality omega-3 fish oil supplements. Fish oil supplements are rich in polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA.

So listen to Mom and protect your health, heart and brain by adding quality omega-3 fish oil supplements to your diet.
