Heart Healthy Omega 3 Fats

by Dr. Linda Posh

University research conducted world wide has proven beyond a reasonable doubt that a diet rich in omega 3 fatty acids is not only heart protective but has the potential to reverse heart disease as well. Countless studies have indicated that the long term consumption of fish is associated with less incidence of a second heart attack coupled with fewer death rates as a result of cardiac events. According to Dr. Alexander Leaf of Harvard University, foods rich on omega 3 fats can stop arrhythmia before it triggers sudden death from heart attacks. The American Heart Association has also come to embrace the cardio protective benefits of omega 3 fats as well. It is important to note the FDA does NOT allow health claims for the majority of dietary supplements. However, per the FDA, health claims can be made for those dietary supplements providing beneficial omega 3 fats.

According to large scale study published in the British Medical Journal specific benefits of omega 3 acids are as follows:

Counteraction and prevention of cardiac arrhythmia
Lower

triglycerides
Lower blood pressure
Promotion of the growth of new blood vessels
Decreased blood clot formation
Reduced inflammation

The above findings have been duplicated repeatedly via major scholarly research projects all over the globe.

It would be safe to say the benefits of a diet rich in omega 3 fatty acids can have a profound effect on human health and wellness.

It is also important to point out the fact that the consumption of omega 3 fatty acids should accompany a diet that already has a healthy foundation. It goes without saying that if one consumes fast foods, processed foods, cakes and cookies, you will markedly reduce the health benefits and biological activity of the good fatty acids you consume. Plenty of fruits and vegetables please. Dietary sources of beneficial omega 3 fats include cold water fish such as salmon, mackerel and sardines. If quality fish is expensive or difficult to obtain in your area, one may consider supplementing the diet with fish oil readily available at most health food stores.

Here’s to your healthy heart!
