The Heart Health Benefits of Fish Oil
Fish oils are rich in polyunsaturated fats known as omega-3 fatty acids. Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are the two main omega-3 fats found in fish and fish oil. Omega-3 fatty acids can benefit heart health.

Research has shown that omega-3 fatty acids can support cardiovascular health in the following ways:
  • Maintains a normal heart beat
  • Supports already healthy cholesterol levels
  • Supports healthy blood circulation
  • Maintains already healthy blood pressure levels

How Does Fish Oil Work?
Omega-3 fatty acids contribute to heart and vascular health by altering the production of several hormone-like compounds in the body. These compounds help maintain already healthy blood pressure, blood clotting, immune function, and other body processes. Omega-3 fatty acids are thought to depress the production of fats in the liver. Omega-3 fatty acids may also reduce blood clotting by reducing the stickiness of blood cells
Recommended Omega-3 Fatty Acid Intake
In order to obtain omega-3 fatty acids from food sources and supplements, eat a variety of fish at least twice a week, preferably fatty fish, such as herring, mackerel, salmon, sardines, and tuna. Include oils and foods rich in alpha-linolenic acid, including flaxseed, canola, and soybean oils.

The omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil can play an important role in heart health. If you are concerned about your heart health, work with your physician or nutritionist to develop a healthy eating and dietary supplement plan that will work for you.
