(Before It's News)

I’ve written to you before about the vast health benefits of fish oil, and today I’m going to give you a little more information.

I’m a firm believer in the numerous ways fish oil can contribute to a healthy lifestyle and protect you from disease. I think they are a foundational supplement that everybody, regardless of their age, weight, fitness level or overall health, should take.

They can assist in weight loss, improve your skin and hair, reduce cholesterol, improve heart function, and increase brain function and memory, too.

One study found a possible link between prostate cancer risk and the use of fish oil, but it was a very loose link. I still consume fish oil supplements daily and recommend you do, too.

Researchers recently found more evidence fish oil can improve your brainpower and possibly fight the onset of Alzheimer’s disease. A study indicates that people who have higher blood levels of the omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil (DHA and EPA) have larger brain volumes than people with lower levels of omega-3 fatty acids in their blood. Smaller brain volumes are a sign of normal aging, but also Alzheimer’s disease.
