Ahterosclerosis and Omega-3 Index levels

Ahterosclerosis and Omega-3 Index levels

A study published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition reveals that individuals in the early stages of atherosclerosis exhibit low levels of the Omega-3 Index. Atherosclerosis, characterized by calcium buildup on the walls of arteries, leads to the narrowing of blood vessels and can culminate in full-blown heart disease. It's also considered a prime indicator of heart health.    Past research has demonstrated the preventive role of omega-3 EPA and DHA in vascular calcification at the cellular level in animal models. The researchers of the current study aimed to uncover the pathophysiological mechanisms of omega-3 concerning heart health and their...

PAD and lack of sufficient Omega-3

PAD and lack of sufficient Omega-3

Recent research suggests individuals suffering from Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) might not be getting enough omega-3 from their diet. Researchers advocate that ensuring an adequate intake of the right omega-3s, specifically EPA and DHA as measured by the Omega-3 Index, could significantly mitigate the risk associated with PAD.    PAD, akin to atherosclerosis of the heart arteries, is a condition affecting the arteries in the legs or arms. It arises when these extremities don't receive sufficient blood to meet demand, often leading to pain, known medically as intermittent claudication, signaling inadequate blood flow during exercise.    Symptoms of PAD, as...
