You wanna take fish oil to prevent heart attacks? Okay, actually, I should say, you wanna prevent heart attacks and you’re trying to figure out if fish oil is something you should take to prevent them. First, we need to back up. How did fish oil even get discovered? I mean, besides being in fish. Why did anyone even think fish oil was worthwhile? Have you see how long Japanese people live and how healthy they are? Large studies have shown that if you eat fish regularly it aids in your health and especially with heart attacks. Eating fish is good for you. That’s what doctors figured out. They said, more or less, “Hey, fish is good for you, so what if you don’t eat fish is there a way to get the healthy-ness of fish with out eating it?” Maybe they didn’t say healthy-ness, but you get the idea. Fish oil is the by-product of realizing that eating fish is good for you. And especially good to prevent heart attacks. Large sections of the world that eat fish regularly suffer from a lot fewer heart attacks. And that is the facts, fish oil reduces heart attacks.

Fish oil reduces heart attacks because it helps with imrpoving blood vessel functions. Fish oil also helps with reducing blood triglyceride levels. Similarly to the benefits of niacin, it helps improve the good cholesterol (HDL, that’s high-density lipoprotein) and reduce the bad cholesterol (LDL, that’s low-density lipoprotein); this helps cut back on the risk of heart disease, as well.
