High Intakes of Omega-3s Linked to Big Health Benefits

Intakes of omega-3 essential fatty acids that exceed levels consumed by the general population in the United States may significantly reduce the risk of chronic disease, a new study with Yup’ik Eskimos suggests.

High levels of the omega-3 fatty acids  were associated with lower levels of triglycerides, as well as higher levels of HDL cholesterol, according to data from 357 Yup’ik Eskimos published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

Higher levels of the fatty acids were also associated with decreased levels of markers of inflammation, such as C-reactive protein (CRP), which is produced in the liver and is a known marker for inflammation. Increased levels of CRP are a good predictor for the onset of both type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

We recommend Krill Oil as the best source of omega-3 fatty acids.  Including these fatty acids in your diet is crucial to maintaining good health.
