In Northern Greenland, there is an indigenous society known as the Inuits. Among several remarkable things about this society, they continue to consume their natural ancestral diet and are known to have almost no heart disease.

Scientific interest in this observation has identified the fish oil from their ocean-water fish diet as the major factor in the superb Inuit cardiovascular health. They consume up to 60% of their calories in fat, with a major portion of that fat coming from fish oil. The fish oil contains two very important fatty constituents, called fatty acids, which are, eicosapentaenoic acid, EPA for short, and docosahexaenoic acid, or DHA. Both belong to the omega-3 family of fatty acids.

The Benefits of Fish Oils
Adequate levels of EPA and DHA are paramount to maintaining our cardiovascular system in good health. Different scientific studies on the oil of ocean-water fish have demonstrated that EPA and DHA reduce the "bad" cholesterol (the low density lipoprotein cholesterol LDL) and raise the "good" cholesterol (the high density lipoprotein HDL). These fatty acids assist in lowering blood pressure by helping to reduce arterial constriction. They also help lower blood fat, known as triglycerides, which if elevated will present significant risk for heart disease. EPA and DHA significantly reduce the risk of inappropriate blood clotting. Inappropriate blood clotting can also lead to stroke or pulmonary embolism, which can be life threatening like a heart attack.

Benefits Beyond the Heart
The focus on heart disease makes good sense since half of North American deaths are from cardiovascular disorders. Yet, EPA and DHA enhance the health of all other body systems as well. DHA is very important to the brain, retina, testes, and adrenal glands for facilitating optimal functioning. Inadequate DHA in the brain is thought to be an important contributing factor in many of its functional problems, including depression, and more recently, attention deficit disorder (ADD) has been tentatively linked with inadequate brain DHA.

EPA and DHA the Natural Way
Eating fresh ocean fish like salmon, sardines, tuna, herring, etc. at least three times per week will supply EPA and DHA in adequate amounts. However if fish or their oils do not appeal to you, you can turn to flax seed oil, a land-based source of omega-3 oil. Flax seed oil provides linolenic acid, which needs to be converted by your body into EPA and DHA. For many North Americans, the conversion is difficult because of dietary habits.

Contraindications
Fish oil or flaxseed oil will contribute to blood thinning, and this is desirable. However, if you are on blood thinning medication or using ASA frequently, check with your physician first. These oils are contra-indicated in hemophiliacs and those who have a tendency to hemorrhage.

A Recommended Amount
The recommended amount is 3 capsules of one gram each of the fish oil per day or as directed by a physician. If you're using flaxseed oil, the recommended amount is 9 grams per day with meals. Oils removed from their natural setting and processed are subject to oxidation. It is a good practice to complement your use of supplemental oils with vitamin E, which is a potent antioxidant, able to reverse oxidation of consumed oils and prevent oxidation inside the body. The recommended daily dosage is 400I.U. of natural vitamin E. If you are taking blood thinning medication speak to your physician before using vitamin E.
