Omega 3: Improving LDL/HDL Ratio
The American Heart Association recommends eating fish (particularly fatty
fish) at least two times a week. Fatty fish are high in two kinds of omega-3
fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Many
experts now urge taking fish oil softgels instead of loading up on fish that may
be contaminated with mercury and other environmental toxins.
Our ancestors' dietary ratio of omega 3 to omega 6 fats was 1:1. Today, due to
the decline in food quality and our diets in general, that ratio has fallen to
1:25. Taking fish oil as a supplement is recommended because it is very hard to
obtain enough long chained omega 3 fats from diet alone to correct the imbalance
between omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids in our body.
Eating fish several times a week is an essential part of any
cholesterol-lowering plan. But believe it or not, eating fish regularly is still
not enough. To get the amount of omega-3 fatty acids that, according to the
latest research, can lower triglycerides, counter inflammation, reduce blood
stickiness, and provide other heart benefits, it is beneficial to supplement
your diet with a fish-oil supplement.
Fish oil may have other advantages as well, such as strengthening immune
function, improving LDL/HDL ratio, staving off depression, helping with
allergies, countering inflammation in people with conditions such as rheumatoid
arthritis and Crohn's disease, and possibly helping stave off certain cancers.
Other benefits worth noting are fish oil's ability to lower blood pressure, slow
blood clotting, and stave off type 2 diabetes in conjunction with statin drugs.
In addition, fish-oil supplements appear to help regulate your heart's
electrical activity, lowering the risk of heart attack or sudden cardiac death
from arrhythmias, or irregular heartbeats.
EPA and DHA are very important for normal brain development, nervous system
function, and eyesight. Most omega-3 research has focused on the relationship
these fats have with heart disease. According to the American Dietetic
Association, omega-3 fatty acids "are believed to contribute to an overall
vascular environment less prone to occlusion by atherosclerotic plaques."
Routine consumption of fish oil is highly encouraged as a key ingredient in
improving health. Fish oil contains the highest levels of the best omega-3 fats
- those with the EPA and DHA fatty acids
