Benefits: Randomized control trials show that intake of recommended amounts of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in the form of dietary fish or fish oil supplements helps lowers blood triglycerides and helps reduce the risk of death (especially sudden death), heart attack, dangerous abnormal heart rhythms, and strokes in people with known cardiovascular disease. The beneficial effects of fish oils have been attributed to various mechanisms, including reduced triglyceride levels, reduced inflammation in the arteries causing atherosclerosis or narrowing, slightly lowered blood pressure, reduced blood clotting , and reduced tendency of the heart to develop abnormal rhythms. Cost-effectiveness studies published in the Pharmacoeconomics journal also shows that long-term treatment with PUFA can do an equally good job of enriching the blood and other body tissues.
