There are safe, natural ways to stop inflammation. You can remedy this major cause of heart disease, stroke, arthritis, diabetes and many more inflammatory diseases.
Here is how to stop inflammation with a safe, natural supplement.
The best single anti-inflammatory supplement is omega-3 fish oil. I'll explain why, and how to shop knowledgeably to choose from the hundreds of omega-3 oils on the market.
More than 3 thousand published research studies on omega 3 fish oil show benefits for nearly everyone. Researchers have reported improvements in dozens of health conditions. Even for people in good health, fish oil offers protection for a longer, healthier life.
Because it reduces inflammation -- and inflammation underlies nearly all the most common diseases -- fish oil has shown an amazing number of benefits.
It reduces:
The risk of heart disease and stroke Hypertension (high blood pressure) Depression Joint pain and rheumatoid arthritis Many skin ailments.
Some research has shown that omega-3s boost the immune system and help protect us from an array of illnesses, including those we don't think of as caused by inflammation, such as Alzheimer's disease and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Omega-3s also reduce the negative effects of another group of fats called omega-6s.
The omega-6 oils are found in nearly all prepared foods such as cereals, vegetable oils (the worst are soy, corn, safflower and sunflower oils) baked goods, and margarine. Omega-6s are also considered essential. In reasonable amounts, they support skin health and help make our blood "sticky" so it is able to clot. But when omega-6s aren't balanced with sufficient amounts of omega-3s, big problems come up.
Because omega-6 fats are pro-inflammatory.
And the real killer: most of us consume 10 to 20 times as much omega-6 as the inflammation-reducing omega-3s.
Fish oil is the richest source of omega 3s. The most important omega 3 oils are DHA and EPA, and DHA is the most powerful of the two for reducing inflammation. Your brain, for example, is 60 percent fat, and the brain takes up DHA in preference to any other fat.
The two shopping keys then, are
The amount of DHA, especially, then EPA. Purity. Are you one of those people who hates a "fishy" flavor and especially fishy burps? Here is good news. The taste of fish oil is directly related to its purity. The purest and best-tasting softgels, are also high in the essential oils DHA and EPA. A good, concentrated fish oil should be 50 percent or more DHA and EPA.
About two capsules of a good, pure and concentrated fish oil capsule is a good amount for most of us.
