Omega -3: the Eskimo's clue to good health. Revised 1986.
1986
Researchers are concluding that the key to Eskimos' good health- despite high dietary intakes of protein and fat and low intakes of fruit and fiber- is the highly unsaturated omega-3 fatty acids found in the fish they eat. Medical, biochemical and nutritional data suggest omega-3 fatty acids may help prevent heart disease by: 1) making blood platelets- which work to clot blood- less "sticky", making the blood more fluid with less of a tendency to clot; 2) lowering blood fat levels; 3) yielding a more favorable balance of lipids in the blood. The benefits of omega-3 fatty acids on heart disease; other health benefis of omega-3 fatty acids; recommendations to increase dietary intake of fish; nutritional contribution of seafood; and selection, storage and cooking techniques are discussed.
