Cancer is second to heart disease as a cause of death in the USA. For women breast and colorectal cancer are the second most common causes of death among cancer sufferers. Studies suggest that using Omega 3 fish oil supplements can reduce the risk of cancer.

Research into dietary factors affecting cancer has shown that a higher consumption of fish over meat can reduce the possibility of developing these cancers. This result was attributed to the Omega 3 fatty acids present in fish.

Fish and fish oil supplements contain rich quantities of the Omega 3 fatty acids EPA and DHA. These fatty acids appear to reduce the risk of developing cancer.

The Omega 3 fats EPA and DHA are called essential fatty acids. This means that they are necessary for the good health of the human body. However the human body cannot manufacture these fatty acids, they must be provided in the diet. Continue reading ‘Breast Cancer – Reduce Your Risk With Omega 3 Fish Oil Supplements’ »

Scientific studies have shown that men who consume fish or use fish oil supplements can reduce these percentages and improve their health outlook. They can reduce the possibility of prostate cancer and where cancer of the prostate is diagnosed they can reduce the growth of tumors and extend their life expectancy by eating fish regularly or using Omega 3 rich fish oil supplements. A reduction of the occurrence of cancer of the prostate and metastatic prostate cancer was associated with eating more fish or using fish oil supplements.

Research was conducted on over four hundred and sixty men diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer.

Factors affecting the possibility of developing prostate cancer are genetic and lifestyle.

Certain groups of men are more prone to the disease because of the genes of their ancestors. This unfortunately is unavoidable.
