Wonders of fish oil
FISH oil contains DHA and EPA, which are considered important in maintaining our well- being.
DHA ( docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA ( eicosapentaenoic acid) are omega- 3 fatty acids.
Health benefits of fish oil
Omega- 3 is important to maintain normal physiological function. Omega- 3 fatty acids can be obtained from fatty fish and fish oil.
As the body cannot produce omega- 3, we can only obtain it from food intake, such as deepsea fish, nuts and flaxseed, which include fish oil supplements.
Benefits of omega- 3
Our diet contains more omega- 6 ( n- 6). Omega- 6 fatty acids, a polyunsaturated fatty acid, are also essential to human health because the body cannot generate its own.
Therefore, we consume omega- 6 fatty acids through meat, poultry and eggs, and walnuts and vegetable oils such as canola oil, sunflower oil, corn oil, soybean oil and peanut oil.
As people consume too much omega- 6 fatty acid diet, there is an increased risk of diseases associated with inflammation.
It is only when the intake of omega- 3 and omega- 6 fatty acid in the diet is balanced that the two substances can help to promote human health.
Omega- 3 fatty acids are polyunsaturated fatty acids. Studies have shown that a diet rich in omega- 3 can help to maintain good health.
In addition, studies found that dietary supplementation of fish oil in pregnancy helps boost postnatal n- 3 fatty acids, DHA ( docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA ( eicosapentaenoic acid) in infants and modulate their immune development.
Another study found that n- 3 fatty acids supplementation during lactation will continue to boost the acquisition of n- 3 fatty acids in infants.
