DHA for Mental Skills – the Evidence Continues

DHA is the preferred essential fatty acid for the structure of healthy brain cells. A variety of new research clearly shows that the higher the level of omega 3 oils like DHA in the diet and in the blood, the better the brain works.

Fish Oil Improves Circulation in Healthy People

The essential fatty acids in fish oil, especially DHA, are now recognized as an excellent cardiovascular support nutrient. A new study in healthy younger men and women shows that fish oil at a small dose of 1 gram per day was able to improve the function of their arteries, helping them dilate easier so blood could flow better. It also helped reduce their resting heart rate, meaning the heart did not have to work as hard to get its job done.

Fish Oil Lowers Fat Mass and Shrinks Fat Cells

In a study with 27 type II diabetic women it was found that three grams of fish oil per day (containing 1.8 grams of omega 3 fatty acids like DHA) given for two months reduced total fat mass as well as reduced the size of fat cells. Inflammatory genes operating within fat were also reduced, an important result indicating that leptin status was improved (though not directly measured). This study shows how fish oil can improve unhealthy body composition even in individuals with significantly disturbed metabolism.

Fish Oil Reduces Atrial Fibrillation and Sudden Death

Researchers around the world continue to trumpet the benefits of fish oil, especially in the prevention of sudden death from heart failure that is often triggered by atrial fibrillation (abnormal heart rhythms). The large scale GISSI prevention trial showed a whopping 45% decrease in sudden cardiac death in patients who had already had a first heart attack.

Mayo Clinic Jumps On the Fish Oil Bandwagon

Miracles never cease and it appears that the Mayo Clinic is trying to enter the 21st century with at least a finger on the nutritional pulse of reality. My cursory review of their website found them woefully lacking even the basic ideas of what really works on most health topics – but at least they have come out and stated that fish oil is a terrific nutrient for the prevention and treatment of heart disease.

The New Frontier – Brain Anti-Aging with Nutrition

The molecular wonder tools of modern day science are not leading to powerful new drug discoveries, rather they are uncovering the exact details of how nutrition manages your genes to improve your health. A case in point is all of the evidence showing that nutrients are the most powerful brain boosters known to mankind – and contain no serious adverse side effects like virtually every “blockbuster” brain med on the market today.

Fish Oil Protects Japanese from Heart Disease

Japanese men have half the heart disease compared to any other industrialized country in the world. This is true even though they smoke more and have similar rates of cholesterol problems, blood pressure issues, and diabetes. Living in Japan, they eat fish every day and their blood levels of omega-3 fatty acids (DHA/EPA) are twice as high as Japanese men living in America and white American men.
