subject: Chronic Inflammation Can Be Reduced Using Fish Oil Supplements [print this page] Inflammation is the part of body's natural defense system. It can be classified as acute inflammation and chronic inflammation. In case of any injury or infection in the body, affected area becomes red and swollen. This is because WBC (White Blood Cells) gets attached to the inner linings of the blood vessels of the affected area to protect us from any bacterial and/or viral infections. But when this soreness is left unattended it can become chronic. In this condition, body treats the healthy cells as foreign material and as a defense mechanism attacks on its own tissues. Basic causes of chronic inflammation are the persistent presence of foreign bodies, continuous acute inflammation due to non-degradable pathogens or autoimmune reactions. Chronic inflammation can last for many months or years. It can result in the body's tissue destruction and to diseases like hay fever, Atherosclerosis, and Rheumatoid Arthritis, Psoriasis, etc. Recent studies have concluded that fish oil supplements can be used to cure inflammation. It has been discovered that the body can convert DHA omega3 fat (found in fish oil) to a chemical called Resolvin D2. This chemical substance reacts with inner linings of body's blood vessels to form nitric oxide. The Nitric Oxide layer prevents excess WBC to get attached to the blood vessels and hence acts as an anti-inflammatory agent. Studies also concluded that unlike other anti-inflammatory drugs, Resolvin D2 does not suppress the body's immune system. It was observed that there was a reduction in the amount of medication needed to cure inflammation, in some of the people who were put on the regular dose of fish oil supplements. Other benefits of fish oil supplements include maintaining blood pressure under control, improved neurobehavioral health, reduced anxiety and depression bouts, protection from certain forms of cancer, lowering the levels of triglycerides and cholesterol. In a nutshell, fish oil does not only help you cure chronic inflammation, but also helps you lead a healthy life. A word of warning here, because supplement market is not very well regulated by rules, you will find some substandard products in the market. You ought to be careful while selecting the same. Look out for purity and DHA content as the basic parameters to check the effectiveness of oil. Mixture of hoki oil and tuna oil is very effective in curing chronic inflammation. Though the reason in unknown, it is observed in one of clinical trial that fish oil's anti-inflammatory property is increased by two and half times.
