Scientists are discovering that a daily dose of fish oil is turning people's lives around, making them well and happy.
Parents and grandparents knew the value of fish oil, but now science is proving it's even better than they thought.
Professor Les Clealand from the Rheumatology Unit at the Royal Adelaide Hospital explains why: "The reason we use fish oil is because it contains a high proportion of long chain Omega 3 fats, so it's the Omega 3 fats in fish oil that we are looking for, for a health benefit."
This should please dietary experts, who say that our national diet is very low in essential Omega 3, and very high in Omega 6 from our large consumption of red meat and vegetarian food.
Applications? It is used for maintaining healthy cholesterol levels, reducing inflammation and joint swelling associated with arthritis and maintaining a healthy cardiovascular system.
