Not all Omega-3 fatty acids are the same in known health benefits. Omega 3 fatty acids will give you: cellular protection against aging and disease. There are 3 main dietary Omega-3s called ALA, EPA, and DHA they are all polyunsaturated essential fatty acids.  Read the whole article here, Benefits Of Omega 3 Fatty Acids.

According to the Prevention Magazine, June 2004:  Already back then they realized the value of Omega 3 fatty acids.
Apparently most  (90 percent) of people with asthma suffer post workout bouts of chest tightness and wheezing.   This is known as exercise induced broncho-contriction (or EIB).

According to an Indiana University study, Fish Oil Supplements may help.  According to this study, lung function improved and inhaler use dropped about 80%.
Omega 3 helps with exercise induced lung inflammation.  The involved fish oil supplement contained 3.2 g EPA and 2.2 g DHA.

Overview Of Who Can Benefit From The: Benefits Of Omega-3

Omega-3 fatty acids are considered essential fatty acids: This is because your body needs them, but cannot make it — you have to get these essential fats from food sources, or supplements.

AHA Recommendation Omega-3 fatty acids benefit the heart of healthy people,
and those at high risk of — or who have — cardiovascular disease.

Omega-3 fatty acids are found in fish,the most common, salmon, tuna, and halibut, and other seafood. Omega 3 are polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), these have a crucial role in our brain function and also in normal growth and development. The American Heart Association recommends eating fish (particularly fatty fish such as mackerel, lake trout, herring, sardines, albacore tuna, and salmon) at least 2 times a week.

Research also shows that omega-3 fatty acids can reduce inflammation and also could help to lower risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, and arthritis.

It is important to keep a certain balance of omega-3 and omega-6 (another essential fatty acid). Read my article about this balance: http://www.ruths-health-cafe.com/2010/06/more-about-essential-fatty-acids-and-why-balance-is-important/

Health benefits

The 18 carbon ?-linolenic acid has not been shown to have the same cardiovascular benefits as DHA or EPA. Currently there are many products on the market which claim to contain health promoting ‘omega 3′, but contain only ?-linolenic acid (ALA), not EPA or DHA. These products contain mainly higher plant oils and must be converted by the body to create DHA and therefore considered less efficient. DHA and EPA are made by microalgae that live in seawater. These are then consumed by fish and accumulate to high levels in their internal organs. If a person has ethical concerns about killing fish, or is concerned about mercury and oceanborne contaminants in fish, DHA can be produced directly from microalgae as a vegetarian source. People with certain circulatory problems, such as varicose veins, benefit from such supplements containing EPA and DHA which stimulate blood circulation, increase the breakdown of fibrin, a compound involved in clot and scar formation, and additionally have been shown to reduce blood pressure. There is strong scientific evidence that n?3 fatty acids reduce blood triglyceride levels and regular intake reduces the risk of secondary and primary heart attack.Some benefits have been reported in conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and cardiac arrhythmias.

There is preliminary evidence that n-3 fatty acids supplementation might be helpful in cases of depression and anxiety Studies report highly significant improvement from n-3 fatty acids supplementation alone and in conjunction with medication. The New York Times reports that at least one study, however, has found no connection between depression in heart patients and supplements containing n-3 fatty acids.

There seems to be a lot of confusion out there as to the best sources of omega-3 fatty acids. This article will break down the major sources of omega-3’s and give you the information you need to make educated choices.

First, there are three main types of omega-3 fatty acids: DHA, EPA and ALA. DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (Eicosapentaenoic acid) are found in fish and ALA (alpha-linolenic acid ) is found in plants like flaxseed. When you choose an omega-3 source, we suggest that you select a healthy balance of all fatty acids, but make sure you are getting enough EPA and DHA, as these fatty acids are responsible for the majority of the health benefits of omega-3’s.

This is important to remember: if a food or supplement states it is high in omega-3, it does not necessarily mean it is high in EPA and DHA. For example, although flaxseed oil is six times richer than most fish oils in omega-3’s, flaxseed oil contains mainly ALA, not DHA and EPA. Unfortunately, our bodies can only convert ALA into DHA and EPA in very small amounts. Scientific studies have revealed that fatty acids from fish or fish oil, but not flaxseed oil, benefited patients with cardiovascular disease and ADHD.

Research Is Proving That Increased Intake Of Omega-3 Increases Eye Health

We have known for a long time that Omega 3 benefits the eye…here is some more information for you:

Increased dietary intake of omega-3-polyunsaturated fatty acids found to reduce the risk of pathological retinal angiogenesis

DHA is a major structural component of retinal photoreceptor membranes, and it affects the permeability, fluidity and thickness of these membranes. EPA is the precursor to eicosanoids, hormone-like substances that control vasodilation/constriction (the widening/narrowing of blood vessels, the process regulates blood flow and pressure), blood coagulation and inflammation all of which affect eye health. Studies looking at the relationship of omega-3 to the prevalence of advanced macular degeneration (AMD) have also observed a protective effect.

We encourage you to visit our web site periodically to review updated reviews of studies and to learn of the newest evidence in support of taking Omega-3 fatty acids.

Research has revealed the fact that adding Omega 3 fish oil to our diet can increase the survival rate of people with coronary heart disease. Omega 3s also have identified that it can help manage the aging process. The marker (very quickly becoming one of the newest medical words) used to come to this conclusis is a part of the DNA called telomeres. Research has shown that a high level of Omega 3 could add up to 5 years…Telomeres

Omega 3 Has Many Health Benefits
These fatty acids have anti-inflammatory and possible anti-clotting ability. They are known to be a benefit for brain function and are widely used for memory function. Omega 3 can lower blood pressure, it is proven to help slow macular degeneration, it aids in the treatment of depression, and it can aid in increasing joint flexibility, plus, and added bonus..it can help to lower triglycerides.Fish Oil Omega-3s
