Fish oil for the heart


Do fish oil pills help prevent heart disease?

I can tell you one thing: sale of fish oil supplements is a billion dollar industry. More people than ever are consuming fish oil supplements in the hope of preventing heart disease. Many consumers have jars of fish oil pills under the bed, in the car, at work, in their backpack, etc etc.

Unfortunately, despite the hype, there is little proof that fish oils really do much for the heart. There is ZERO evidence that fish oils improve the health of your heart. All the benefits on the heart have been hyped up by the manufacturers of these supplements.

if you want to prevent heart disease, walk everyday, watch your diet, avoid weight gain and do not smoke. 

If you have money to waste, go for a vacation or adopt a dog from a shelter. If you do not have money, continue walking more and eating less. Make a friend with a dog-the benefits are for life and more satisfying than any fish oil.
