Believe It or Not Corner: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW - OMEGA-3S IN FISH OIL: THE KEYSTONE IN THE BATTLE TO RESOLVE INFLAMMATION • Fish oils multiple benefits have long been attributed to its effects on reduced inflammatory signaling by cytokines. • New discoveries reveal that the omega-3 fats in fish oil directly trigger resolution of inflammation and promote early healing. • Molecules called lipoxins, resolvins, and protectins are all derived from, or produced in response to, omega-3 fats. • Deficiencies in pro-resolution molecules have been identified in most of the chronic, inflammation-related diseases of aging. • Aging itself produces a total-body loss of these health-promoting molecules. • Multiple studies reveal that supplementing with omega-3-rich fish oil boosts production of pro-resolution molecules and quickly brings your body back to a non-inflamed state. • Human clinical trials demonstrate anti-inflammatory effects of fish oil supplementation in metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease, lung diseases, neurodegenerative conditions, and cancer, with additional evidence flowing in daily. • Fish oil can no longer be considered an optional supplement; rather, it is a must-have for the prevention of the inflammatory conditions of aging.
