Omega 3 Fish Oil: The Miracle Oil

It is common knowledge that fish oil is very beneficial for health. Many people take fish oil pills for fitness, weight loss and energy, etc. But do you know how important this omega 3 fish oil really is? According to a recent research carried out by bio researchers at the prestigious Harvard University in Boston, Massachusetts, the deficiency of omega 3 fatty acid is in the top ten causes of fatalities in the United States. Mind boggling, but true.

I think it can be said that the importance of omega 3 fish oil has been terribly underrated. According to the research, problems occur due to the imbalance in the ratio between omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids, since people do not get enough omega 3 fatty acid. This imbalance is the cause of multiple disorders like asthma, heart disease, obesity, irritable bowel syndrome, and even cancer and autoimmune disease! Thus taking omega 3 fish oil, which is a great source of omega 3 fatty acids, prevents all these complications from happening.

Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, more commonly known as ADHD, is a brain disorder of terrible consequences. It is characterized by inattention, restlessness, hyperactivity and impulsiveness. According to research, omega 3 fish oil can help in managing these symptoms and improving the overall quality of life of the patient, since brain is itself composed of many fatty acids including omega 3 fatty acids.

Rheumatoid arthritis is a painful swelling of joints which leads to deformation and immobility. Omega 3 fish oil is known to reduce the pain and progression of disease, on a scale unmatched by any other treatment pertaining to rheumatoid arthritis. However, taking too many supplements is a waste and you must consult a doctor to know how much fish oil to take in a day.
