The importance of Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids was discovered as a result of scientific research conducted by Dr. George Piggot in 1970. He studied the Eskimos of Greenland.
He took a large group of trails and divided them in half. One stayed on its traditional diet. The other half took a Western diet. After 6 months, half of the Western diet showed signs of all cardiovascular problems faced by the west. High blood pressure, cholesterol, triglycerides, accumulation of plaque on their arteries.
Dr. Piggot then divided the group into a Western diet and put it back on the traditional diet and left half on the Western diet.
After three months, the group on the Western diet continued to show increasing problems, but half returned to the traditional diet, which eliminated all the problems. Further research showed that the answer was deep-sea, cold water, fish, raw, three times a day.
It was a remarkable discovery, but when he returned to America, there was an interest in his conclusions, but he was not very interested in using raw fish.
To get a commercial product on the market, Dr. Piggt collaborated with a direct selling company that launched the full-color fish oil capsule Omega 3 Omega 6 into the market in 1981 and has since taken the product as part of its range in over 50 countries.
Since then, a huge amount of official research has been carried out in Omega-3 fatty acids. So much actually, that the University of Maryland Medical Center conducted a study to give an overview of the results. In their study, more than 100 clinical studies were conducted, and the results they show are amazing.
In his in-depth review of clinical studies conducted around omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids University of Maryland Medical Center summarized the results of the proven benefits of omega-3 fatty acids.
Studies have shown that Omerga 3 fatty acids:
o necessary for human health, but can not be produced by the body.
o play a crucial role in the functioning of the brain, as well as in normal growth and development.
o reduce inflammation
o help prevent risk factors associated with chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, and arthritis.
o highly concentrated in the brain and, apparently, are particularly important for cognitive (brain memory and performance) and behavioral function.
o can lead to a significant reduction in blood pressure in people with untreated hypertension.
o Help reduce risk factors for heart disease, including high cholesterol and high blood pressure.
o can help prevent and treat atherosclerosis by preventing the development of plaques and blood clots.
o helps protect against stroke caused by the accumulation of plaques and blood clots in contracts leading to the brain.
o can reduce the risk of stroke by as much as 50%.
o can help reduce triglycerides and apoproteins (markers of diabetes).
o reduce tenderness in the joints, reduce morning stiffness and reduce the amount of medication needed for people with rheumatoid arthritis. o can benefit people with other inflammatory disorders, such as osteoarthritis.
o - effective treatment along with traditional treatment methods such as anti-inflammatory drugs for joint pain associated with rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease and dysmenorrhea.
o help increase the level of calcium in the body, heal calcium in the bones and improve bone strength.
o (for a long time give) .. a significant reduction in feelings of depression and hostility.
o (lead to) .... less mood swings and a recurrence of either depression or mania.
o reduce infection and promote wound healing in case of burns.
o reduce the symptoms of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis
o reduce inflammation and improve lung function in adults with asthma
o can reduce ... symptoms, such as hot flashes and sweating, during menstruation.
