Main ingredient: Fish oil
Fish oil is a fat or oil that is extracted from fish tissue. It usually comes from oily fish such as herring, tuna, anchovies, and mackerel. However, it is sometimes also produced from the liver of other fish, as is the case with cod liver oil. About 30% of fish oil is made up of Omega-3s, while the remaining 70% is made up of other fats. What’s more, fish oil usually contains vitamins A and D. It is important to note that the types of omega-3s found in fish oil have greater health benefits than the omega-3s found in some plant sources. The main types of omega-3s in fish oil are eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), while the type found in plant sources is mainly alpha-linolenic acid (ALA).
Although ALA is an essential fatty acid, EPA and DHA have many more health benefits.
Health benefits of taking fish oil
1. Supports heart health
Fish oil improves cholesterol levels by increasing HDL (good) cholesterol levels and may also lower LDL (bad) cholesterol levels. The oil reduces triglycerides by 15–30% and even in small doses helps normalize blood pressure in people with elevated levels.
2. Helps with certain mental conditions
The brain is made up of almost 60% fat, and a large portion of that fat is omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3s are therefore essential for normal brain function. Some studies have shown that people with certain mental illnesses have lower levels of omega-3s in their blood.
Research has found that omega-3s may prevent the onset or improve symptoms of some mental illnesses. For example, it may reduce the chances of psychotic disorders in those at risk.
3. Strengthens eye health
Like your brain, your eyes rely on omega-3 fats. Studies show that people who don't get enough omega-3s have a higher risk of eye disease.
4. May Reduce Inflammation
Inflammation is the immune system's way of fighting infection and healing injuries. Because fish oil has anti-inflammatory properties, it helps treat conditions involving chronic inflammation. Additionally, fish oil can significantly reduce joint pain, stiffness, and the need for medication in people with rheumatoid arthritis, which causes joint pain.
5. Improves skin appearance
The skin is the largest organ in your body and is rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Skin health can deteriorate throughout your life, especially as you age or after excessive sun exposure. However, taking fish oil may be beneficial for a number of skin conditions, including psoriasis and dermatitis.
6. Useful for pregnant women
Omega-3s are essential for early growth and development, which is why it's important to get enough omega-3s during pregnancy and while breastfeeding.
