Health Benefits of Fish Oil

It’s no secret that fish oil keeps inflammation down and your digestion in check. But what you may not know is that its benefits can impact everything from city living and bone density to fat burning and brain power. Here are seven things you may not know about the benefits of fish oils and how you can go about ensuring you get enough each day:

Brain Benefits
The two ways fish oil may benefit your brain is by helping depression and cognition. As for depression, fish oil supplements alone don’t seem to have the effects of standard antidepressants. However, high doses of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA)—one of the main Omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil—help maximize the effects of pharmaceutical antidepressants, thus improving mood in people who don’t respond well to antidepressants. (Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is the other primary Omega-3 fatty acid found in fish oil.)

Heart health
The latest research on fish oil protecting cardiovascular health can be summed up as, “much less promising than once thought.” It’s now thought that the first slew of studies to come out supporting fish oil for heart health may have been overly enthusiastic. It’s generally accepted that a low omega-3 intake (300 milligrams combined EPA and DHA) from either supplementation or diet seems protective, but that higher doses aren’t necessarily better.

Joint health
Fish oil is commonly used to improve joint health. However, these benefits aren’t as well researched as other supplements commonly used for joint health—like curcumin or glucosamine—despite its popularity. If you’re healthy and plan to take fish oil for joint health, opt for higher doses. But be aware that too much omega-6 can worsen joint health, especially if you have arthritis.

Immune system benefits
Although it’s been suggested that supplementing fish oil can boost your immune system, the evidence behind this theory is weak. In fact, high doses of fish oil may actually do the opposite. If you’re prone to colds and fatigue, a well-balanced omega intake through good diet and nutrition seems to be your best bet.
