Fish oil is conducive to good health. Evolutionary biologists and anthropology scientists believe that for much of human evolution, humans have lived in coastal areas of this planet. It can be concluded that they derived nutrition from seafood like shellfish. Recent studies have conclusively established that the human brain is composed of certain oils which are mainly found in fishes.
Consuming fish oil has a number of health benefits. This controls blood serum cholesterol thereby preventing cardio-vascular disease and as well as high blood pressure. Treatment for depression cases is also done using this oil. It is also claimed that this oil helps cases with mental problems, Alzheimer's disease and also improves people's memories.
Omega 3 is perhaps the most important ingredient in fish oil. The human body cannot produce the essential omega 3 fatty acids. Plats rarely yield any and produce only minute quantities. Pregnant women and their unborn children especially benefit from consuming enough omega 3 as the fatty acids help with brain and eye development during pregnancy.
Omega 3 deficiency could lead to many health problems in human beings. Research studies by medical professionals have suggested that Attention Deficit Disorder, asthma and other allergies could be linked to less intake of omega 3. Some scientists have observed that a low consumtion of omega 3 by pregnant woman could give birth to children who might have poor hand-eye coordination, low IQ and poor social skills.
Salmon, sardines and herring are the fish which contain large amounts of omega 3. But at the same time, eating large quantities of fish is quite unsafe as dangerous heavy metals from water pollution may accumulate to dangerous levels in the body of a fish. Moreover, a fish liver may contain very high amount of rentinol which is an active form of Vitamin A and which can be very dangerous.
For this reason it is recommended that people take fish oil supplements. They are available in capsule form those who take exception to the taste. They should be certified free of mercury and other dangerous metals and many have been purified so that the body can assimilate them more easily. Omega 3 benefits human health in so many ways that it is frightening to learn that only 2% of the US population is getting the recommend daily amount.
