subject: Fish Oil Supplements For Blood Pressure And So Much More [print this page] I never knew just how many people took fish oil supplements until I started asking my friends about it. Turns out practically everyone I know from my grandparents through my current acquaintances and up to the nineteen year old bar back at my local tavern are taking some form of fish oil supplement. Frankly I didn't know an omega 3 from my elbow until someone told me I had dangerously high blood pressure several months ago. I had long been taking multivitamins to help compensate for my disinterest and general aversion to fruits and vegetables but this fish oil pills thing seemed like a newer and possibly more important health move. I wanted to stabilize my blood pressure or at the very least assure that it was not getting much worse.
The cardiovascular health benefits of omega 3 fatty acids are undeniably great. People all around the world have begun using these sorts of supplements to guarantee better circulation and healthier hearts. Evidence suggests that these healthy fatty acids increase the breakdown of fibrin which is involved in clot and scar formation, as a result the blood needs less pressure to commute through the veins. End result it can lower blood pressure. These acids also reduce blood triglyceride levels, this function means that those fish oil supplements can help reduce your risk for a heart attack. The increased circulation can also help patients taking these supplements to reduce the occurrence of varicose veins. These veins can often be painful and so it is not simply a cosmetic benefit.
As we get older the increased circulation has many other benefits including some assistance in relieving pain from and avoiding arthritis. Many more studies have suggested these omega 3s can help cancer patients, improving appetite and weight which leads to a generally higher quality of life. Recent studies have even suggested that fish oil pills can help with general immune function and there are even some people beginning to hypothesize about omega 3's positive affects in avoiding a variety of psychotic disorders and helping with general neurological function.
On balance taking a fish oil supplement seems to not only be something that might immediately benefit what ails me, it may just help me in a wide variety of other ways as well. It seems like anyone who is anyone should be considering one of these supplements as a vital part of their daily health regiment. It sort of seems like a situation where there is absolutely nothing to lose by giving it a whirl. Not that it gets me off the hook on vegetables.
