More benefits of fish oil cited

MANILA, Philippines - The health benefits of the natural oils found in fish continue to astound scientists and health practitioners and the list just keeps on adding up by the minute.

Acknowledged in boosting heart health, fish oil has now also been found to contain essential nutrients that prevent inflammatory disorders.

Inflammation is a process by which the body’s white blood cells and chemicals protect the body from infection and foreign substances such as bacteria and viruses.

The release of chemicals increases the blood flow to the area affected resulting in redness and warmth. Some of the chemicals cause leakage of fluid into the tissues that lead to swelling. The inflammatory process may stimulate nerves and cause pain.

Diseases associated with inflammation include some types of arthritis such as rheumatoid arthritis, gouty arthritis, shoulder tendinitis or bursitis, and polymyalgia rheumatica.

Fish oil is derived from the tissues of oily fish. This fish oil has been discovered to be rich in essential nutrients called Omega-3 Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA)/Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA), which is naturally needed by the body to absorb essential nutrients and expel unnecessary waste products.

Consumers can benefit from the anti-inflammatory benefits of fish oil by supplementing their daily diet with Cenovis Fish Oil.

Cenovis Fish Oil is rich in Omega 3 Marine Cardio Protectors, which contain essential DHA/EPA.

Compared to other commercially available fish oil capsules that come from large fish like shark, seals, as well as cod liver oil, Cenovis Fish Oil comes from the wild or deepsea fish — small DHA/EPA-rich fish like sardines, mackarel, and herring that have shorter life span, making them less exposed to water pollutants. These fatty fish have been found to be rich in essential DHA/EPA, compared to shallow water fish.

Just one capsule of Cenovis Fish Oil (P9.75 per capsule) a day which should be taken together with meals ensures the recommended dietary allowance for DHA/EPA, which is 500 to 1,800 mg per day.
