Fish Oil<\/a>\u00a0seems to be the new cod liver oil (which, incidentally, is type of\u00a0Fish Oil<\/a>) \ufffd a relative cure-all. But do you need to take it? Why should you take it? First and foremost, realize that for the most part it is better to get the nutrients that you need by eating a healthy and well-rounded diet. It is better to eat fish than to take a\u00a0Fish Oil<\/a>\u00a0supplement.<\/p>

Of course, this is not always completely reasonable \ufffd you may not want to eat fish every single day. Another thing to consider is the fact that some fish may contain mercury, and this is not good for humans, especially\u00a0Pregnant<\/a>\u00a0women. Also, realize that fattier fishes like salmon have a higher percentage of\u00a0Omega-3<\/a>\u00a0Fatty Acids<\/a>\u00a0than other fish, like canned tuna.<\/p>

That being said, let\ufffds find out why other people take fish oil:<\/strong><\/p>

Fish Oil<\/a>\u00a0is full of\u00a0Omega-3<\/a>\u00a0Fatty Acids<\/a>. Yes, the word \ufffdfatty\ufffd may throw you off, but\u00a0Omega-3<\/a>\u00a0Fatty Acids<\/a>\u00a0are actually very good for your heart. That is why many people take\u00a0Fish Oil<\/a>\u00a0as a preventative measure against\u00a0Heart Disease<\/a>. People who have a history of heart attacks in their family are likely to want to take\u00a0Fish Oil<\/a>\u00a0as a supplement.<\/p>

In fact,\u00a0Fish Oil<\/a>\u00a0is a great supplement for anyone who already has coronary artery disease (even those who have not yet had a\u00a0Heart Attack<\/a>).<\/p>

People who have auto-immune disorders like rheumatoid\u00a0Arthritis<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Psoriasis<\/a>\u00a0should also consider taking a\u00a0Fish Oil<\/a>\u00a0supplement on days that they do not eat fish. About 3 grams of omega-3s a day are recommended. Clinical studies suggest that\u00a0Fish Oil<\/a>\u00a0can help with joint pain and swelling of rheumatoid\u00a0Arthritis<\/a>. Omega-3s can suppress the immune response.<\/p>

People who have high triglycerides may also benefit from\u00a0Fish Oil<\/a>, as well.<\/p>

Other, possible benefits of\u00a0Fish Oil<\/a>\u00a0Supplements<\/a>\u00a0(not all of these are accepted benefits by the medical society at large):<\/strong><\/p>
