Everyone gets confused in the health-food aisle. Believe me, you are in good and intelligent company. Sometimes it helps me to imagine the great leaders of the world, and how little they know about flax seed oil, a product I find absolutely fascinating.
Omega-3 has been receiving a lot of attention lately, and we consumers need to step up and figure out what's going on with omega-3 benefits.
After listening to a lot of "health professionals" describe fish oil as a lubricant for your joints, I think it's time to put down a few facts to think about. Here I want to talk about one big possible benefit of omega-3: helping to prevent or alleviate diabetes.
"Prevention" and "alleviate" sound like distant terms, but I know they mean a lot to everyday people who suffer from diabetes--people like you--who happen to have very high levels of LDL cholesterol, simply because their bodies aren't set up to eliminate it properly.
Diabetes is often linked to high triglyceride levels as well, and there are many remedies which will help the body normalize these levels.
One fact we can rely on is that fish oil and omega-3 supplements have been proven to lower levels of harmful triglycerides. These supplements therefore alleviate the general effects of both types of diabetes.
Lowering these harmful blood elements also causes LDL cholesterol levels to go down, and HDL levels to rise. We already have two well-tested reasons to take an honest look at fish oil supplements.
Many diabetes sufferers are unable to produce their own omega-3 within their body, and must take supplements in order to maintain healthy levels of these essential acids.
One great benefit of taking an omega-3 supplement is normalized levels not only of other fatty acids, but of good versus bad cholesterol as well.
How can you quantify the benefits of a balanced and well functioning circulatory system? Clearly even alleviating one or two of these concerns will go a long way toward changing the quality of life for someone suffering from diabetes.
I've always felt it was my job, even if it was a little uncomfortable, to be sure that my friends with diabetes were taking some kind of omega-3 supplement. These special molecules have made a difference in the lives of millions of people, and there's no reason to ignore benefits backed by personal research.
Stay informed about sources of omega-3 and also about new levels of toxins in many supplements. If you don't know about PCBs, now is the time to find out.
