]]>This may explain some of the more specific health benefits that omega-3 supplementation provides, such as relief of seasonal asthma (an inflammatory condition). Omega-3s have also been shown to provide some relief to the symptoms of lupus, and may reduce the severity of inflammatory bowel conditions such as Crohn’s disease enough to allow patients to reduce their doses of anti-inflammatory drugs or even stop taking them altogether.
The Mayo Clinic also gave a grade of “A” to studies showing that rheumatoid arthritis patients taking regular fish oil supplements experienced less stiffness and joint pain, to a degree comparable to that from over-the-counter anti-inflammatory drugs.
]]>The inflammation process has one goal: to respond immediately to detect and destroy the toxic material in damaged tissues before it can spread throughout the body,” explained Lauren Whitt, Ph.D., UAB Employee Wellness director and adjunct professor of personal health. “The trouble with inflammation occurs when the defense system gets out-of-control and begins to destroy healthy tissue, causing more damage than the original issue.”
“I encourage people to focus on eating whole foods and foods that are high in fiber,” Whitt said.
Anti-inflammatory foods to try:
• Citrus fruits — Vitamin C and Vitamin E are essential antioxidants
• Dark, leafy greens — High in Vitamin K
• Tomatoes — The fruit’s red pigment, lycopene, is a potent antioxidant
• Wild-caught salmon — Contains a rich concentration of omega-3 fatty acids

In the first split, half were given doses of tuna fish oil while the other two groups were given equal amounts of sunflower oil, which contains no omega-3 acids. Both groups were then split once more, with half taking no additional exercise each week while the others completed three 45-minute runs, to 75 percent of their maximum heart rates, each week. All participants were asked not to otherwise alter their diets.

]]>In a Scientific Position statement, the AHA (American Heart Association) recommends “that healthy people get adequate nutrients by eating a variety of foods in moderation, rather than by taking supplements,” making one exception for omega-3 fatty acid supplements.
Because fish intake has been associated with decreased risk of heart disease, the AHA advises that patients without documented heart disease eat a variety of fish—preferably omega-3-containing fish, such as salmon, herring and trout—at least twice a week. Patients with documented heart disease are advised to consume about 1 gram of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) + docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) types of omega-3 fatty acids, “preferably from fish, although EPA+DHA supplements could be considered,” after consulting with a physician first.
For people with high triglycerides (blood fats), ADA recommends 2 to 4 grams of EPA + DHA per day in the form of capsules and under a physician’s care.
According to Mayo Clinic, “omega-3 fatty acids are a type of unsaturated fatty acid that’s thought to reduce inflammation throughout the body, “which can damage blood vessels and lead to heart disease. What’s more, the fatty acids “may decrease triglycerides, lower blood pressure, reduce blood clotting, boost immunity and improve arthritis symptoms, and in children may improve learning ability.”

]]>Fish contain unsaturated fatty acids, which, when substituted for saturated fatty acids such as those in meat, may lower your cholesterol. But the main beneficial nutrient appears to be omega-3 fatty acids in fatty fish. Omega-3 fatty acids are a type of unsaturated fatty acid that’s thought to reduce inflammation throughout the body. Inflammation in the body can damage your blood vessels and lead to heart disease.
Omega-3 fatty acids may decrease triglycerides, lower blood pressure, reduce blood clotting, boost immunity and improve arthritis symptoms, and in children may improve learning ability. Eating one to two servings a week of fish, particularly fish that’s rich in omega-3 fatty acids, appears to reduce the risk of heart disease, particularly sudden cardiac death.

Postpartum depression is associated with diminished maternal health as well as developmental and health problems for her child. “The literature shows that there could be a link between pregnancy, omega-3 and the chemical reaction that enables serotonin, a mood regulator, to be released into our brains,” Shapiro said. “Many women could bring their omega-3 intake to recommended levels.”

]]>Smoking causes 30 percent of all cancer deaths and 87 percent of all lung cancer deaths. Yet, roughly 50 percent to 83 percent of cancer patients keep smoking after a cancer diagnosis, through treatment and beyond, says Sonia Duffy, University of Michigan School of Nursing researcher. For patients who quit on their own, relapse rates (as in the general population) are as high as 85 percent.
Yet, continued smoking severely hampers cancer treatment, increases cancer recurrence and decreases survival, she says.
