National Eye Institute Examines Effect Of Omega 3
Dr. Chi-Chao Chan of the National Eye buying Institute in Bethesda, Md., examined the direct effect of omega-3 fatty acids on a mouse model of macular degeneration and found a diet with high levels of omega-3 fatty acids resulted in slower lesion progression — with improvement in some lesions.
Chan says the mice with slower disease progression had lower levels of inflammatory molecules and higher levels of anti-inflammatory molecules, which may explain the protective effect of omega-3 fatty acids.
Omega-3 fatty acids are found in high levels in cold water seafood — especially oily fish such as herring, mackerel, anchovies and sardines.
ps if you don’t like fish…or, if you don’t always have time to make fish on a routine basis, go for Omega 3 supplements.
