How Fish Oil Rescues Metabolism from Obesity

DHA in particular, and fish oil in general, have been shown to have a powerful influence on the health and well being of your stored fat, as well as other aspects of metabolism such as insulin resistance. In a new study working with the obese leptin-lacking mice, researchers demonstrated the precise novel ways in which fish oil can protect against obesity, even in an animal that has no choice but to become obese.

Resolvins and Protectins: Did You Get Your Anti-Aging DHA Today?

Low-grade inflammation is the tell-tale sign of many diseases of aging as well as the inappropriate acceleration of the aging process. Astounding new science is explaining how DHA works to resolve this issue and protect you from damage – thus slowing the rate of inappropriate aging and the risk for disease. Since the mechanism involved is relatively new and the information is so important, I am taking some time to help explain what this means to your health.

DHA Can Reduce Pain

The pain response involves interplay between immune cells and nerve cells. Many individuals experience exaggerated pain following an injury, surgery, or from other inflammatory causes. Pain signaling can overload nerve and immune function, tending to lock itself into place or prolong itself unnecessarily. New research shows that essential fatty acids DHA and EPA promote a class of compounds called resolvins which restore nerve and immune cell function to normal in a more timely manner, thus getting rid of excess pain. The researchers concluded, “Resolvins may offer novel therapeutic approaches for preventing and treating pain conditions associated with inflammation.”
