The benefits of fish oil have largely been debated by scientists of traditional medicine and homeopathy, and while some of the myths about its extraordinary benefits have been dispersed over time, the fact remains that, as a dietary supplement, fish oil is still one of the main sources for Omega-3 essential fatty acids, and is still being prescribed for patients with Omega-3 deficits worldwide.

It is a known fact that great health problems can occur from an unbalanced diet, and the lack of Omega-3 essential fatty acids makes no exception to the case. On the contrary, Rheumatoid Arthritis, breast or prostate cancer, heart disease, strokes, psoriasis and depression can be caused by a low Omega-e factors intake, and can also be prevented or controlled after being administered an Omega-3 dietary supplement, in the form of fish oil (or other Omega-3 supplements on the market).

There have been quite a few researches made in the past decades and all have proven that fish oil is a rich source of Omega-3 fatty acids. Even though there are (or can be) some side effects to taking fish oil, the benefits definitely prevail.

The necessity for such supplements appears from the fact that foods specific for the western culture dont have a high content of Omega-3 essential fatty acids (while they abound in Omega-6 essential fatty acids). It is only relatively recently that fish based foods, seaweed foods and shellfish foods (the main sources for Omega-3 fatty acids) have been introduced into wide circulation, and it is still only a small number of people that can afford or are inclined to consume such products. As such, for the rest of the population, the need for supplements to make up for that lack in their diet has become apparent.

Fish oil can bring your cholesterol and triglycerides levels back to normal. It will also keep them there if you keep taking it. It has quite a big positive influence on your heart and coronary system. Fish oil can also prevent illnesses like lupus, kidney malfunctions, Crohns disease, prostate and colon cancer and strokes.

Another disease where fish oil can be helpful is the prevention of the onset of schizophrenia. Especially if fish oil is included in the diet of young patients that have only shown the first signs of schizophrenia it seems that fish oil helps control this disease or even reverse the symptoms. Studies on this matter have not been fully confirmed yet.

Good results have also been achieved by using fish oil as a supplement in cases of depression. It has been noted that sometimes depression can be caused by chemical imbalances, and the Omega-3 deficit can manifest itself through an exacerbation of depressive states.

Fish oil has many benefic effects which have been recognized by medical communities worldwide. Even though it is not the all miracle cure that some have deemed it to be in an attempt to extort money from the unsuspecting sufferers looking for a cure for their ailments, fish oil can be a very effective dietary supplement that can help you preserve your good health.
