Fish Oil: High Triglyceride Prevention With Fish Oil
The American Heart Association (AHA) is so positive fish oil prevents high triglycerides they recommend everyone with high triglycerides take a daily fish oil supplement, containing a combined one gram of omega 3 DHA and EPA fatty acids.
Why? Because eating fish two or three times a week has been shown to reduce triglycerides by an amazing 25% to 30%. Fish oil has also been shown to reduce risk of ischemic stroke (brain attack) by at least 44% and sudden cardiac death (our number one killer) by 45%.
Those are pretty convincing statistics.
Reducing high triglycerides and keeping your blood plasma levels below 150 mg/dl should be right at the top of your get healthy and stay healthy “to-do” list. Why? High triglycerides are linked to two or three times the risk of heart disease and stroke.
And it doesn’t make any difference if you have low cholesterol or not. The latest research shows that high triglycerides (more than 200 mg/dl) may be the most significant risk factor for heart disease and stroke, no matter what your total cholesterol count may be.
By the way, did you know that high fat and cholesterol in your diet is not the major cause of high triglycerides?
Well, it may be surprising, but it’s got very little to do with the amount of fat and cholesterol you eat everyday. The main culprit is sugar.
That’s right, sugar! High glycemic carbohydrates, better known as sugar, are the major cause of high triglycerides. That’s why having just a drink or two can create a huge increase in your blood plasma triglycerides.
Eliminating cakes, cookies and other sweets from your diet is probably the best the best thing you can do to lower triglycerides.
It would not only help you maintain your weight by cutting way back on calories consumed, but it would also help you cut back on trans fats in your diet, another contributing factor of high triglycerides. High glycemic sugary snacks and desserts are loaded with trans fats.
In fact, maintaining your optimum weight on a low calorie, low glycemic, moderately low fat diet that’s particularly low in saturated fats, trans fats and cholesterol is the healthiest way to eat.
Another great thing to do to lower your triglycerides is to eat broiled fish, whole grains and lots of fresh fruits and vegetables rather cheeseburgers and burritos. It would help lower your saturated fat intake at the same time you getting the protective benefits of fish oil omega 3 fatty acids.
Eating fish, for example, two or three times a week can reduce your triglycerides by 25% to 30%, as well as reduce your risk of ischemic stroke by at least 44% and sudden cardiac death by 45%.
In fact, the American Heart Association is so confident in the health benefits of omega 3 polunsaturated fatty acids, they recommend that everyone with high triglycerides take a daily fish oil supplement, containing a combined 1 g of omega 3 DHA and EPA.
Other causes of high triglycerides under your control are alcohol and smoking. Alcohol should be either eliminated from your life all together or cut way back on. And, if you smoke, quit. It is one of the best things you can do to protect your heart.
