Omega-3 can help reduce the risk of the following diseases :


Heart attacks and strokes

(click ref: Atherosclerosis, Cardiovascular disorder, Heart disease, Stroke)

Heart disease remains the leading cause of death in western society. For men, the risk of heart attack begins very young and remains fairly constant throughout life while the female incidence of heart problem begins to equal and surpass that of men as they reach menopause.

Study indicate that omega-3 can reduce the chance of a primary cardiac arrest by 70% and a second arrest by 30%. This results primary from the fact that omega-3 makes the walls of the blood vessels smoother and more elastic thus reducing vessel blockages which are often the cause of heart failures.

Omega-3 also tends to retard the rate of the blood clotting. Heart muscle damage may still take place from a tempory stoppage of an artery, and omega-3 PUFA's prevent this damage from interfering with heartbeats. Studies further indicate that omega-3 helps reduce a person's blood pressure, also becoming a chronic problem in an aging population.

Diabetes

(click: Diabetes research & development)

Diabetes is a disorder charcterized by high blood levels of glucose (from improper diet or hormone Insulin disorder). It can damage the large blood vessels increasing the risk of stroke, heart attack, and the limbs, can lead to gangrene. Many studies now suggest that omega-3 is invaluable in combating circulation problems associated with diabetes by rendering the walls of the veins and arteries smoother and more elastic.


Arthritis / Inflammation.

(click ref: Arthritis, Chronic's disease, Rheumatoid Arthritis)

Due to the anti-inflammatory effect of omega-3 EPA, clinical tests have shown that people with diets rich in this fatty acid are less prone to inflamed joints (rheumatoid arthristis), inflammation of the intestine (Chronic's disease), lupus, asthma, multiple sclerosis and skin disease.


Cancers

(click ref: Breast Cancer, Cancer, Prostate Cancer)

Omega-3 seal oil has a natural resistance to oxidation. There is significant research linking anti-oxidants to a reduction in free radical acids - and therefore, reducing the risk of cancer and other diseases. One major study showed that daily omega-3 consumption dramatically slows abnormal cell growth that can lead to colon and prostate cancer. Another showed similar success impeding breast cancer.
