Have you started taking daily capsules of fish oil? Cancer sufferers, and for that matter all of us, should be taking daily supplements containing the essential fatty acids found in fish oil.
The average American diet is inadequate in the 2 important essential fatty acids known as DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid). These are found in fish oil and studies have consistently shown for many years that those with an adequate intake of these 2 important Omega 3 essential fatty acids are generally more healthy than those who have low intakes.
The benefits to omega 3 supplementation include a reduction in the risk of death from heart attacks as well as a range of other heart health benefits together with a range of improvements in a whole host of other health areas.
However evidence is now mounting of a clear fish oil cancer reduction link as well as a link between Omega 3 supplementation and other improved health outcomes. Studies are clearly demonstrating that improving the level of your nutrition by increasing your intake of essential fats can benefit a range of cancerous conditions such as breast cancer, colorectal cancer (colon cancer), prostate cancer and many others, both in prevention and better outcomes to treatment.
It’s probably yet too early to say that increasing essential fatty acid intake will improve your cancer outcomes but it is true to say that there is now mounting evidence for this. Recent studies for instance have shown a reduction in the risk of bowel cancer of up to 37 percent by increasing fish oil intake.
And the fish oil breast cancer reduction link is also growing fast, as is the fish oil prostate cancer reduction link.
Breast cancer as well as prostate cancer are 2 of the most serious cancers that it’s possible to contract. If we all increase our intakes of essential fatty acids the evidence is showing there are risks of contracting either are reduced, if the studies are correct.
For a wide range of reasons it is now clear that you should be supplementing your diet with fish oil. Cancer sufferers, and everyone, have powerful health reasons to start to reverse the declining trend in our society in eating fish.
Of course to increase your intake of fish oil you can eat more fish. But fish can be contaminated with industrial chemicals, particularly fish at the top of the food chain, and for this reason the FDA tells us not to eat too much. However the good news is that it is entirely possible to get omega 3 fish oil supplements that are completely free of any chemical contamination and which are safe to take every single day.
As well as essential fatty acids found in fish there are also other natural substances that can also offer improved health outcomes. Studies are now showing that lycopene is another of these substances.
You find lycopene in tomatoes and the studies are showing a range of health benefits including a reduction in the risk of cancer.
And as the research is finding out the health benefits of such natural substances there are companies taking advantage of this research to produce excellent nutritional supplements to help incorporate these substances into our diet. As an example there is now a new fish oil supplement available which includes lycopene as an active ingredient.
Clearly for a wide range of health reasons each of us should be taking, or considering taking, supplements containing fish oil. Cancer reduction is only one of the health benefits that may accrue to us.
