Amazing Health Benefits of Eating Fish

Mom always told us that eating fish had its share health benefits. And we constantly hear the benefits of a diet high in omega 3 fatty acids, of which fish is a prime source. On top of it, we know that eating fish is a great way to incorporate a low fat protein into your diet if you�re trying to shed unwanted pounds.

However, now, global health studies are concretely linking regular fish consumption (that�s one or two servings per week) with reducing the risk of various diseases and health disorders�ranging from colon cancer to dementia.

Here are ten diseases and disorders that eating fish can help prevent:
1. Depression:
Because depression is linked to a short supply of omega 3 fatty acids in the brain, it makes sense that consuming fish (which happens to be high in this particular health fat) will reduce the symptoms of depression.

2. Cardiovascular Disease:
Not only does consuming the protein of the sea increase levels of �good� HDL cholesterol; it�s also thanked for lowering the risk of heart disease, stroke, blood clots, and inflammation of the heart tissues.

3. Eyesight:
If your mother ate a lot of fish when breastfeeding you, chances are you don�t wear glasses. Why? Because mother�s milk containing omega 3 fatty acids is linked to enhancing eyesight, in particular to strengthening the retina (the tissue on the inner surface of the eye).

4. Asthma:
Medical researchers have found that children who eat fish will less likely end up with asthma.

5. Rheumatoid Arthritis:
Eating fish weekly has also proven to reduce the inflammation and painful symptoms associated with rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune diseases.

6. Brain Disorders:
Fish rich in omega 3 fatty acids has been linked to healthy brain tissue, which in turn prevents a slew of brain diseases and disorders�such as Alzheimer�s, epilepsy, concussions, and certain forms of autism.

7. Premature Births:
Good news for expectant moms; a pregnancy diet high in fish lowers the chance of delivering prematurely.

8. Diabetes:
Eating fish is a great way to balance blood sugar levels for diabetic sufferers, and to prevent insulin spikes.

9. Dementia:
Studies show that seniors who regularly consume fish (at least once per week) reduce their risk of developing dementia.

10. Cancer:
Fish is rich in omega 3 fatty acids, meaning consumption can lower the risk of certain types of cancers�particularly oral, colon, breast, and prostate�by an impressive 50-percent.
