We know people have been taking the omega-3 fatty-acid-rich supplement for ages, but new research shows that fish oil can reduce the risk of breast cancer. (Plus, it makes your skin purty!) Post-menopausal women between the ages of 50 and 76 who took fish oil were 32% less likely to develop certain types of breast cancer than women who didn’t take fish oil. Doctors recommend trying to get your daily dose of fish oil from actual fish rather than the supplement, but it seems like both will do you good. You know what this means: Sushi, sister! As if we needed an...

The study also found that third- and fourth-generation Japanese Americans had similar or even higher levels of atherosclerosis, or hardening of [...] (Source: Biosingularity) Biosingularity blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2382515 Thu, 04 Sep 2008 00:50:14 +0100 2382515 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=1689049&cid=t_382345_122_f&fid=35055&url=http%3A%2F%2Fsarasotaneurology.com%2F2008%2F08%2F07%2Fhealth-benefits-from-omega-3-fish-oil%2F There are many studies that have shown excellent health benefits from taking omega 3 type fish oil. Omega 3 oils are found in fish oils, flax seed and several vegetable oils including canola, soybean and olive oils. There are different components to these oils that provide health benefits. The DHA and EPA oils in fish oil have been linked to reducing hardening of the arteries and lowering triglycerides. They also have the benefit of lowering blood pressure and heart rate to a mild degree. This all results in an overall reduction in risk for coronary artery disease, heart attack, sudden death, irregular heart beat and stroke. Fish oil can also have a blood thinning effect to reduce abnormal blood clotting, similar to that of aspirin. This latter effect is a two edge sword because too much f...

Then hop on over to a Washington DC-area salon where teeny carp are used eat away the dead skin on your feet, leaving them smooth as a baby’s bum. Sound creepy? It may be a little, but it’s becoming all the rage. So far, over 5,000 customers have indulged in this treatment that feels like your foot fell asleep - just a tickling and tingling. The fish at-the-ready, known as doctor fish, thrive in hot water where plants and other food sources are not readily available. Consequently, the fish have learned to feed on whatever they can find, including dead, flaking skin. As for your live skin? The fish don’t bother it at all since they do not have teeth and can’t bite in. While some salon-goers would view this as a scary alternative t...

It was about one of the World's fattest men and how he lost weight with help from Fish Oil. But Fish Oil isn't just good for the morbidly obese -- it helps your heart too, according to this article. What is it about fish oil that makes it so healthy? I'm guessing it's the omega 3 in it, since that is the only nutrient referred to in the article. Regardless, I think it's a great suggestion as it's proven to be a healthy addition to any diet. I love fish so I think I'm probably getting my share through diet alone. However, if you don't like fish (like my little brother), you can get your fish oil in capsule form these days, so no excuses!Read | ...
