Great effects when the elderly take omega-3 fish oil every day

Research shows that taking omega-3 fish oil every day brings many health benefits, especially in older adults.

Omega-3 supports brain health

Research has found that omega-3 supplements may reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease and cognitive decline in older adults, according to the health news site Health .

Research has also found that people with Alzheimer's have lower levels of the fatty acid DHA. One review noted that increasing omega-3 fatty acids, especially DHA, helps maintain the structure of brain cells.

Additionally, consuming omega-3 fish oil also helps reduce anxiety and depression.

Reduce inflammation - prevent heart disease, diabetes

Omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil can block inflammation. Chronic inflammation increases the risk of conditions like diabetes and heart disease.

Fish oil may reduce pain symptoms in people with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, which are more common in older adults. Research shows that fish oil helps overweight or obese people with osteoarthritis reduce chronic pain. Some evidence suggests that fish oil also reduces inflammation that causes joint pain in people with rheumatoid arthritis.

Helps protect eye health

Older adults with high levels of the fatty acids DHA and EPA in their red blood cells have been shown to have a lower risk of age-related macular degeneration, a leading cause of vision loss in people over 60.

Lower blood pressure

One review found that increasing DHA and EPA intake helped reduce blood pressure, a major risk factor for heart disease and stroke. Both are leading causes of death. The optimal intake of DHA and EPA for reducing blood pressure is 2–3 grams per day.

Improve fatty liver condition

Fatty liver disease occurs when fat builds up in the liver and causes damage. Research shows that people with fatty liver who take fish oil have improved liver damage, according to Health.
