Omega 3’s Reduce Stroke Risk, Study Shows

Author: chakefaye 
For years researchers have studied Omega-3s and its benefits, with significantly positive results across the board in various studies.
Recent research has revealed that individuals who intake at least five portions of fish weekly have a 13% reduced risk of all types of stroke. Also, individuals who increase their Omega 3 supplementation also benefit from the reduction risk.
During the 12.8 year study, led by Dr. P. Xun, it was discovered that one particular type of stroke, known as ischemic, which is characterized by brain clotting, was reduced by 17% with the same levels of consumption.
“It makes biological sense that fish intake was found to be inversely related to the risk of ischemic [stroke]. It is reasonable to assume that beneficial effect of fish intake on stroke risk comes from the [long chain omega-3] intake.”
It’s important to add at least 3000mg of fish oil supplementation to your daily diet. Aside from reducing your risk of stroke, omega 3’s also help maintain healthy triglyceride levels, normal blood flow and help stabilize cholesterol levels in individuals.
