High Omega-3 Levels Help Men Reduce Risk for Sudden Death

A study published in the American Heart Association Journal, Circulation, looked at over 5,250 middle-aged men for a period of 22 years. Researchers found that men with the highest Omega-3 levels in their body had the lowest risk for sudden death.

Fish Oil Lowers Cholesterol and Triglycerides

During a recent clinical trial with 65 participants, half were given 1000mg of Omega-3 from fish oil and the other half were given olive oil. After 6 months, the patients taking fish oil had lower triglycerides, lower LDL (bad) cholesterol and higher HDL (good cholesterol). The other group experienced no changes.
