Tuesday, November 3, 2009

When discussing the benefits of Omega-3 for the health, the first thought is to help maintain heart health. In fact, the function of Omega-3 is more than that. One of the functions of omega-3 which is less widely known is to help maintain bone health.

Omega-3 included in the group polyunstarurated fatty acids, ie fatty acids having more than 1 duple bond, and is known to have various health benefits. One of the functions of omega-3 is known to help maintain heart health. The functions of Omega-3 in maintaining heart health, actually first discovered in the Eskimo people. Eskimo people who consume a lot of seafood, which contains Omega-3 proved to have a level of risk of heart disease are lower.

Now, various studies show that Omega-3 has a wide range of health benefits, not only to maintain heart health. In the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, noted that the Omega-3 is also useful for brain growth and development as well as more closely related to the low level of risk of asthma and type 1 diabetes. And now new research suggests that Omega-3 can also help maintain bone health.

The results of research are listed in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed a positive relationship between the concentration of Omega-3 in the body with bone density. Apparently, those who have a concentration of Omega-3 in the higher body, also have a bone density level is higher.

The results of this research were also supported by several studies using animals that have been done before. A study listed in the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research, shows the benefits of Omega-3 to inhibit the bone loss that occurs due to the menopause in mice.

Benefits of omega-3 for bone health are believed to be related to the ability of omega-3 to increase the synthesis of prostaglandin compounds on bone cells. Prostaglandin compound is a compound that serves to regulate the process of bone formation and decomposition.

Omega-3 is believed to inhibit the activity of osteoclasts cells that play a role in the decomposition process of bone and increased activity of osteoblasts cells that play a role in the process of bone formation.

With the inhibition of the bone decomposition process and increased process is the formation of bone, bone density levels can be maintained to prevent brittle bones. This has been proven in research using animals, which showed higher bone formation procedure in animals that consume a lot of Omega-3.

So start taking Omega-3. In addition to help keep your heart healthy, your bone health too be awake. Omega-3 commonly found in fish, kiwi fruit, walnuts, corn oil and milk.
