Sometimes big problems just need simple solutions. Isn’t that great? According to the latest research, there is a very simple solution that can help in the prevention of juvenile diabetes for children all over the world ? and this simple solution is known as salmon!
Research conducted by the Norwegian Institute of Health reveals that children who were given cod liver oil (relax, I’ll talk about salmon later) while they were still very young, are at 25% lesser at risk to juvenile diabetes; quite a significant number. The result of this research was viewed as very important that it was published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
Scientist have this belief that we get such results because the inflammation reducing capabilities of omega 3 fatty acids in some fishes with high amounts of EPA and DHA. Phew! That was quite a mouthful, but they can really work wonders. And salmon happens to be the highest source of EPA and DHA. (Now I told you I’d get to the salmon!)
There are actually two types of diabetes ? the type 1 and the type 2 diabetes. In both types, the body is not able to produce insulin or store glucose. This is why diabetics have blood sugar problems. Adults usually get the type 2 diabetes, but recently, because of the developing poor lifestyle and health habits of people, more and more children are also developing the type 2 diabetes at an early age.
The type 1 diabetes, or also referred to as juvenile diabetes, is the type that is known to affect children and adolescents. They usually need daily injections of insulin as their body is not able to produce normal amounts of insulin. From time to time complications may arise due to the daily injections of insulin. Around 80% of patients end up having major eye damage within 15 years from being insulin dependent. Others get kidney failure and often need a dialysis to survive. Also, 35% of type 1 diabetics suffer from heart attacks even before their mid-fifties.
It can really be remarkable how omega 3 fish can save lives of diabetics. Years ago, research has already begun proving that EPA and DHA can give lots of health benefits including the management of type 2 diabetes. The latest research however reveals that it can also be used for type 1 diabetes. It can make you so happy that you may want to kiss a fish.(Or on second thought!)
Do you know that EPA and DHA are sourced from cold water fish, like cod and salmon? The salmon that is found at the Arctic Ocean waters is said to have the purest and most potent omega 3. Because the most common cause of the type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease, scientist are convinced that the anti-inflammatory properties of the omega 3 found in fish oil is what helps prevent juvenile diabetes.
Mothers who take in fish oil during pregnancy and lactation give their babies life-long of health benefits. The EPA and DHA in fish oil improve the baby’s nervous system, hearing and vision. Omega 3 fish oil is also essential in the development of a baby’s brain and produces intelligent babies according to research.
Thus if you want to see your children grow up to be smart, strong and healthy, I highly recommend that you make sure you and your family include cold water fish and high doses of omega 3 salmon oil capsules to your daily diet.
