Fisol Fish Oil Why Fish Oil? Should you be taking it daily?

It is believed that by taking a regular fish oil supplement you will increase your immunity to the common cold, coughs and other similar common health conditions. This is due to the presence of Omega-3 fatty acids in fish oils that affect some of the components of your immune system such as the cytokines and eicosanoids. The EPA in fish oils also helps to protect your body from the over-activity of the inflammatory response system which is also part of your immune system.

Fish oil has been found to be beneficial to the immune problem known as lupus, where the body’s own immune system attacks its organs and tissues. This is a form of autoimmune condition where your body attacks itself, as is the form of arthritis known as rheumatoid arthritis. Research in Lexington has also suggested that fish oil could be beneficial to AIDS sufferers, another autoimmune condition.

In respect of the inflammatory system, fish oil can reduce the pain and swelling of conditions such as arthritis and the effects of inflammatory disorders such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. There are many other immune system conditions for which fish oil and Omega-3 fatty acids are being investigated, but it is certain that by taking a supplement of fish oil capsules you will be less liable to suffer immune problems than if you did not.

Fish oil contains Omega-3 fatty acids that help to maintain a healthy cardiovascular system in general and a healthy heart in particular. The American Heart Association supports the use of Omega-3 oils in reducing cardiovascular disease, and many different tests and trials have proven this. Fish oil lowers the levels of LDL cholesterol in your blood and in so doing reduces your chances of developing atherosclerosis, a gradual blockage of your arteries due to the oxidation of LDL cholesterol by free radicals in your blood.

This reduction in cholesterol helps to reduce the incidence of strokes and heart failure as your arteries get so blocked that your blood supply is blocked by even the smallest of clots that would otherwise have had no effect. Fish oil also reduces the levels of triglycerides in your blood. Your blood pressure is reduced, and the consequently lower stress levels placed on it enables your heart to operate effectively much later in life. In effect, by taking fish oil capsules as a regular supplement you are building yourself a better future and longer life.
