(Health-NewsWire.Net, April 20, 2015 ) Orlando, FL -- Fish types such as herring, mackerel, salmon, tuna, cod and halibut, are considered to be very healthy, especially for individuals who suffer from cardiovascular ailments. Fish oil supplements are also widely used today, because they are considered to be safer, and they have a higher concentration of omega-3 fatty acids.
The Arthritis Foundation provides some information about the benefits of using fish oil. Omega-3 fatty acids are believed to reduce inflammation and morning stiffness. They are also considered to be essential for brain function and for inhibiting rheumatoid arthritis development.
EPA and DHA are omega-3 fatty acids that are abundantly found in fish oil. These omega-3s have the potential to block the inflammatory cytokines and prostaglandins. Once consumed, they are typically converted into powerful anti-inflammatory chemicals known as resolvins.
Fish oil consumption is believed to help lower blood triglyceride levels, which pertain to fats that circulate in the blood stream. It also potentially reduces blood pressure and provides protection against heart disease.
There have been quite a number of studies about EPA and DHA for rheumatoid arthritis. These omega-3s have also been studied for other inflammatory conditions, such as depression, heart disease, lupus and Raynaud's syndrome.
In a 2010 meta-analysis, it was found that fish oil significantly helped decrease the stiffness and joint tenderness in participants who suffered from rheumatoid arthritis. It was also found to reduce or possibly eliminate the need to use NSAIDs. There were preliminary studies suggesting that fish oil may also have the same effect on osteoarthritis. In a 2005 study, it was discovered that individuals with rheumatoid arthritis experienced some positive effects when fish oil supplements were combined with olive oil.
According to The Arthritis Foundation, fish oil capsules that have at least 30 percent EPA / DHA should be consumed by individuals who suffer from arthritis-related conditions. Fish oil supplements are often preferred over consuming omega-3 food items, like fish. There are fish types such as shark, king mackerel, swordfish and tile fish that contain potentially dangerous amounts of mercury, and they are the types of fish that should be avoided.
There are many fish oil supplements available on the market today. It is important for consumers to choose the right product in order to get the best benefits of fish oil. Experts recommend the use of products that contain a strength of 2,400 mg of fish oil per serving, which is the strongest potency available today (http://www.amazon.com/Omega-Fish-Oil-Supplement-Softgels/dp/B00O8NS20K).
