Omega 3 for Your Heart

What Omega 3 fatty acids can do for your heart:

• Decrease your risk of sudden death and arrhythmia
• Improve your arterial heart health
• Lower your blood pressure
• Decrease the thickening and hardening of your arteries
• Overall decrease in heart disease
• Decrease growth of atherosclerotic plaque inside your arteries

If you eat a significant amount of fish or take an Omega 3 fatty acid supplement you can decrease your risk of dying by 30% and lower your risk of having a fatal heart attack by 20%. This was discovered in a study known as the GISSI-3, in which 11,324 people were given 1 gram of omega 3 fatty acids for 2 years.

Why do the Inuit Eskimos Have A Low Rate of Heart Disease?

Studies show the Inuit Eskimos of Greenland have a significantly lower death rate from heart disease. What confused scientists was why: the Inuit eat a lot fatty foods and have cholesterol levels similar to other Western cultures. The answer: observational scientific studies show the Inuit diet consists largely of cold water fish that is high in Omega 3 fatty acids.

American Heart Association: Omega 3 Fatty Acids Can Reduce Risk of Heart Disease

In 2002 the American Heart Association concluded that Omega 3 fatty acids can reduce cardiovascular and heart disease risk. The American Heart Association also recommended the following:

“People who have elevated triglycerides may need 2 to 4 grams of EPA and DHA per day provided as a supplement. Even the 1 gram/day dose recommended for patients with existing cardiovascular disease may be more than can readily be achieved through diet alone.”

In other words: it is difficult to get enough of the recommended amounts of EPA and DHA by just eating foods that contain them. A supplement can give you the omega 3 that you need.

Hypertension

A meta-analysis on hypertension, that included 17 clinical trials, concluded that supplementation with Omega 3 fatty acids reduced both systolic and diastolic blood pressure in hypertensive patients. The effect on non-hypertensive patients was minimal.

Arrythmias

Several clinical interventions, including GISSI-3 mentioned above, studies have shown that Omega 3 fatty acids reduce sudden death, especially in patients who have prior coronary artery disease. The decrease in sudden death is partly attributed to the reduction in fatal cardiac arrythmias. Recent animal studies are close to elucidating the mechanism behind this heart health benefit.
