A recent study conducted at Ohio State University and scheduled to published in Brain, Behavior and Immunity, found that 1250 mg or 2500 mg of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids reduced significant inflammatory markers, IL-6 and TNF-alpha. The scientists recruited 138 overweight or obese men and women who were otherwise in good health for the study. Overweight and obese individuals have higher inflammatory markers than normal weight individuals. Visceral or abdominal fat is inflammatory. The participants were divided into three groups: 1250 mg omega-3 per day, 2500 omega-3 per day, or usual diet with placebo. Including fish oil in one's daily regime as a supplement is one way to lower inflammation. In addition, a healthy low-glycemic index diet and regular exercise would lower inflammation even more. Omega-3 fatty acids have been associated with reducing cardiac arrhythmias, improving arterial health, decreasing depression, decreasing chronic pain, and many other health benefits.
