I've written several articles about omega-3 and the health benefits associated with essential fatty acids (EFSs). In a recent press release concerning a mouse study of the effects of omega-3s on age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the American Journal of Pathology called frequent enjoyment of fish the "see food" diet (AJP 2009).
Age-related macular degeneration causes retinal damage that cuts vision in the center of the visual field (macula)... and is the leading cause of severe vision loss and legal blindness among the elderly.
About one in 10 of people from 66 to 74 years of age develop some level of macular degeneration, making it difficult for them to read, or even to recognize faces.
Here's a quote from the press release from the American Journal of Pathology:
"A diet high in omega-3 fatty acids has been found to protect against a variety of diseases including atherosclerosis and Alzheimer’s disease. Retrospective studies have suggested that diets high in fish oil or omega-3 fatty acids may also contribute to protection against AMD.
A group led by Dr. Chi-Chao Chan at the National Eye Institute, National Institutes of Health in
Omega-3 fatty acids are essential to human health, which now includes the eyes, but they cannot be manufactured by the body. For this reason, omega-3 fatty acids must be obtained from food. Omega-3 fatty acids can be found in fish, such as salmon, tuna, and halibut, other marine life such as algae and krill, certain plants (including purslane), and nut oils.
You can also get omega-3 essential fatty acids through supplementation. As a matter of fact many supplements are less contaminate risky than some seafood. Since mercury contanination is a big concern of a lot of individuals, TriVita has taken the extra steps to insure mercury-free omega-3, and it comes in the form of their Omega Prime.
Omega Prime is a supplement that gives you the needed omega-3 essential fatty acids to maintain a healthy omega-3 balance.
Before the recent study, omega-3 was considered more of an inflammation fighter, and a nutrient to protect your heart. As a matter of fact, Omega Prime meets the American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines. One daily dose of Omega Prime provides the amount of Omega-3 recommended by the AHA for healthy individuals, as well as for those who have heart disease or the risk of it.
Start protecting your heart, fight inflammation, and protect your eyes by including omega-3 into your daily diet.
