Omega-3 Fats Potentially Helpful as Part of Diabetes Self-Management Program

(Newswire.net — April 27, 2018) Orlando, FL — Omega-3 fatty acids are healthy fats that are widely used nowadays. These fatty acids can be obtained from eating fish such as salmon and tuna, or through supplementation. They are believed to be particularly helpful among individuals with conditions such as diabetes.

Omega-3 fats may be potentially helpful as a part of a diabetes self-management program. Omega-3s are a type of polyunsaturated fat thought to offer a myriad of health benefits. The three types of omega-3s are alpha-linolenic acid (LNA) which is found in vegetable sources, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).

“EPA and DHA are the most popular forms of omega-3 fats,” said VitaBreeze Supplements spokesperson, Michelle O’Sullivan.

According to research, consumption of omega-3s may help to increase protection against coronary heart disease. In some studies, it was found that Greenland Eskimos have significantly lower triglyceride levels, blood cholesterol and lower rates of coronary heart disease than those living in Denmark.

Greenland Eskimos are huge consumers of fish than the inhabitants of Denmark. In other studies, it was shown that men who consumed fish at least once a week achieved a lower mortality rate from coronary heart disease than those who did not eat the seafood.

Diets that are rich in omega-3 fats are believed to help reduce insulin resistance among those with diabetes. These diets are also thought to decrease the risk of stroke, heart attacks and macular degeneration. It was also found that huge consumers of fish may even have lower rates of depression.

Consumption of omega-3 fats is also associated with some improvements in symptoms of inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, asthma and inflammatory bowel disease. According to many health experts, it is generally a good idea to increase intake of omega-3s.

Individuals with or without diabetes may possibly benefit from the effects of this natural alternative. Diabetics may incorporate fish oil supplements in their diabetes-management plan.

Studies also reveal that fish oil supplementation may potentially lower triglyceride levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes. This is believed to be extremely helpful in lowering heart disease risk.

Today, more and more people are using fish oil supplements instead of regularly eating fish to take advantage of the possible therapeutic benefits of omega-3 fats. Fish oil supplements are believed to have high concentrations of omega-3 fats.

Fish oil supplements are also thought to have low environmental pollutants. Many fish items that are commercially available in the market are believed to contain high levels of heavy metals and toxins. There are fish oil manufacturers that use a molecular distillation process to reduce or eliminate these pollutants.
