Omega 3 fats are things like fish, fish oil, olive oil, flax seed and oil, avocado and green vegetables. Recent research studies are finding these fats benefit the eyes, joints, heart, lungs, immunity and more.
Omega 6 fats include vegetable oils like safflower oil and corn oil, as well as mayonnaise, fried foods, dairy and beef. Many people eat more Omega 6 fats than Omega 3's and when the balance between the fats becomes imbalanced, many health problems can occur - particularly high cholesterol and high blood pressure.

The trials showed a reduction in tender joint counts and a decreased use of anti-inflammatory drugs. An important research note was that anti-inflammatory drugs can adversely affect the heart. Fish is known to have a direct, positive effect on the heart. A new report appearing in an issue of a biology journal has shown that the oils from fish enhance the activity of a certain kind of blood cell responsible for immunity in the body. Fish oil may actually aid immune responses that help clear out various diseases.
Another study was recently done at the Columbia University Medical Center in New York regarding the use of fish oil for the health of the heart and arteries. Researchers there found that a diet rich in fish oils can prevent the accumulation of fat in the aorta, the main artery leaving the heart. The beneficial actions of fish oil that block cholesterol buildup in the arteries were found even at very high fat intakes.
womens ugg boots Scientists at the University of California in Los Angeles compared the oils from fish with soybean oil for the fat component that was used in feeding tubes for children with stomach failure. The study was titled "Six months of fish oil reverses liver disease in children with intestinal failure." With the fish oil, nearly 80 percent of the patients experienced a reversal of their liver disease, while only 5 percent of the soybean oil patients saw a reversal. This is a strong statement on the benefits of fish oil for stomach and liver health.
