NHL: Fish Oil in Health and Disease

It is clear that consuming a diet rich in oily fish or
alternatively, supplementing with capsules (omega-3 fatty acids) is one of
the most important steps one can take to ensure
vibrant and lasting health.
An extensive medical literature testifies to the fact that fish
oils/omega-3 fatty acids prevent and may help to ameliorate or reverse
atherosclerosis, angina, heart attack, congestive heart failure,
arrhythmias, stroke, and peripheral vascular disease. The components
within this supplement help maintain the elasticity of artery walls,
prevent blood clotting, reduce blood pressure and triglycerides,
stabilize heart rhythm and help combat inflammation. There is also
considerable evidence that fish oil consumption can reduce the risk of
breast and prostate cancer and help slow their progression. Daily
supplementation has been found effective in preventing the development
of colon cancer and has also been found to help combat depression.
