Does Fish Oil Help Prevent Heart Attacks?

A new study claimed that omega-3 or fish oil helps prevent heart attacks. The study's lead author, Joanne Manson, stated that the pattern of findings suggests a complex balance of benefits and threats to each intervention and indicates the need for additional research to identify which individuals are taking these supplements. One can get pure benefits from diets.

Twenty-six thousand American women and men attended a clinical trial. Results after more than five years of study and treatment showed some promising signs. In the research, it has been found that omega-3 fatty acids help prevent heart attack. Heart health benefits have now been confirmed after testing with recent meta-analyses of omega-3.

One study found that individuals who consumed 1.4g of EPA/DHA combined daily increased lean body mass, 1RM strength, and lost more body fat than those who did not supplement with Fish Oil over 1 month [1]. Other research had similar findings and even suggests it may decrease DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness) [2,3] _ Overall, the differences are small and so are not going to make drastic changes to your physique or performance; as should be expected, no supplement will. But, the research out there on fish oil does seem consistent enough to say with confidence that supplementing with Omega 3’s can have favorable body composition effects. _ Nonetheless, they offer various health benefits and so you should probably be supplementing with them especially if you don’t consume fatty fish regularly. Some research also suggests that Fish Oil can lead to reduced waist circumference [4], so yay for that. _ This study [1] used 1.4g of EPA/DHA combined daily which is in the recommended range to improve health and body composition (1-3g combined daily). Personally, I like the Muscle Pharm Fish Oil shown above and always have one handy. It has the highest EPA/DHA content that i’ve seen for the price. Other brands may be cheaper but on a per pill basis have less EPA/DHA. Likewise, other brands may have higher EPA/DHA content per pill but are significantly more expensive. Overall, any brand is fine, I’m not getting paid to recommend them, I just like it. Just make sure you take enough EPA/DHA daily. _ Algae is a good replacement for vegetarians. #strengthguide _ https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11332-016-0322-9 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24570619 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26085822 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26571503
