Reel in the Benefits of Fish Oil
Fish oil supplements are popularly consumed for their omega-3 content. Omega-3 fatty acids are a vital part of cell membranes throughout the body. They are essential fats that cannot be created by the body.

Fish oil supplements are popularly consumed for their
omega-3 content. Omega-3 fatty acids are a vital part of
cell membranes throughout the body. They are essential
fats that cannot be created by the body.

The human body is capable of producing all the fatty acids it needs,
except for two:


alpha-linolenic acid
(ALA), an omega-3
fatty acid
linoleic acid
(LA), an omega-6
fatty acid
Both omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids play a crucial role
in brain function, normal growth and development.

However, they are required in the right balance. Studies have
shown that Omega-3 fatty acids may help reduce inflammation,
while too much omega-6 fatty acids may promote inflammation.

We may consume too much omega-6 in
our daily diet, which is found in common
foods such as poultry, eggs, whole-grain
breads and most vegetable oils.
A high ratio of omega-6 may raise your
blood pressure, which may increase risk
of heart related issues like heart attack
and stroke caused by blood clots.
On the other hand, as sources of omega-3 are not as commonly
found in our daily diet, we often do not consume enough of it.



Infant developement
DHA is vital for visual and neurological development
in infants.

Healhty mental state
Research has shown that
people who have a diet richer
in omega-3s tend to have
lower levels of depression.

Help in maintenance of
healthy blood lipid
DHA and EPA may lower
triglycerides, a blood fat that
is linked to heart diseases.
Relieve discomfort from
rheumatoid arthritis
Studies have shown that DHA
and EPA may reduce joint
stiffness and discomfort.


May reduce chances of stroke
Studies have shown that a
balanced intake of omega-3s
may curb plaque build-up
inside blood vessels. This may
aid in blood flow which prevent
strokes caused by clots of a
blocked artery.
Help lower risk of Alzheimer's
Studies have revealed a possible
link between omega-3s and a
lower risk of Alzheimer’s.

May reduce symptoms of ADHD
Some studies suggest that
omega-3s can reduce the
symptoms of ADHD in some
children and improve their
thinking and learning skills.
Bone Health
SuffIcient calcium and fatty
acids help build bone density,
resulting in healthier bones.

Luscious hair
Studies have shown that it
helps with scalp nourishment,
decreasing hair loss and thinning.
Clearer skin
Researchers believe that fish oil
is able to reduce leukotriene B4,
an inflammatory substance that
causes eczema symptoms.

There are 3 types of omega-3 fatty acids:



alpha-linoenic
acid
docosahexaenoic
acid
eicosapentaenoic
acid
ALA can be found in




Vegetable oils
Flaxseed
Walnuts
Dark leafy
vegetables
such as spinach
DHA and EPA can be found in fatty fish such as

Salmon
Codfish
Mackerel
Tuna
DHA and EPA have higher health properties than ALA for heart, brain
and eye health. While the human body is able to turn ALA into usable
DHA and EPA to a very limited extent, it is much more ecient to get
DHA and EPA directly from fish. However, there are dangers associated
with regular consumption of deep sea fish.

Excessive consumption of fish can be detrimental to health due to their
levels of mercury. Mercury is collected in oceans, lakes and streams, and
converted into methylmercury where fishes would absorb over time.

Methylmercury is toxic to the central nervous system,
and poses significant risk to unborn infants that are still
developing in their mother’s womb.

Fish with higher levels of mercury* include larger fish
with longer lifespans such as




Grouper
King
mackerel
Marlin
Orange
Roughy




Shark
Swordfish
Tilefish
Tuna
(Bigeye, Ahi)
*according to Food and Drug Administration(FDA), USA
It is recommended to consume less of these fish
on a regular basis, in order to avoid the negative effects
of mercury caused by methylmercury poisoning.

The American Heart Association recommends eating
fatty fish at least two times (two servings) a week
to obtain sufficient omega-3 fatty acids.

Our daily diet often does not contain enough fatty fish, and
there is also the danger of consuming too much mercury.
A convenient way of ensuring that we receive enough
omega-3s is by taking purified fish oil supplements.

Colour changing
Salmon can be three different
colours over the course of their life,
changing from a light colour to a
silvery blue, before turning a
brilliant red in adulthood.

Fishy smell
Salmon have a keen sense of
smell. The Atlantic salmon can
smell one drop of scent in an
area the equivalent of ten
Olympic size pools!

Highly important
Salmon are considered a
keystone species with a
disproportionately large
impact on their ecosystem.

Long distance travellers
After living for many years in the
sea, salmon travel a long distance
home to return to the river in
which they were born to spawn.


Eggy business
Salmon have an average of 2500
eggs, but can have up to 7000.
Leaping laps
Many believe that the word
“salmon” comes from the Latin
word salmo or salire, which means
“to leap”. If you’ve ever seen
salmon battling rapids and strong
currents as they head upriver to
spawn, then you know they are
aptly named.


Large in size
The biggest species of salmon is
the Chinook, also known as King
Salmon, which can weigh as much
as a hundred pounds.
Practitioners of fasting
Salmon do not eat during the
migration process and most die
from exhaustion after spawning.
