Help control tissue-damaging inflammatory processes with a
bit of fish oil.
Chronic inflammation of body tissues may play a role in
the pathology of many diseases, including diabetes and heart
disease. However, a new study reveals omega-3 fatty acids in
fish oil may help reduce inflammation. Seek out a serving of
oily fish such as salmon or tuna each week.
More about this Tip: Inflammation is the body's immune response to injury and infection. However, evidence suggests chronic inflammation can damage tissues, contributing to heart and blood vessel disease, cancer, arthritis, diabetes, and many other conditions. In a recent study, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), the essential omega-3 fatty acid found in fish oil, helped reduce skin and abdominal inflammation. EPA also limited several processes associated with inflammation, such as the movement of immune cells known as dendritic cells and the production of interleukin 12, a chemical messenger that enhances the immune response. Steer clear of large, long-lived fish, such as sea bass, swordfish, and king mackerel, because they have the greatest likelihood of being contaminated with unacceptably high levels of mercury from the environment. Safer fish choices include salmon, pollock, sole, and chunk light tuna.
JamesHird: I was asking questions about some posts that were running down others or some such thing.
Can someone please delete my posts now. They look kind of silly without the other posts thank you
JamesHird: There were many off topic posts that appeared during the night when I wasn't here to moderate so a Global Moderator stepped in and hid them. Sorry for the confusion but I do support what the GM did. This is for health and home remedies and all related posts will be welcome..but not any others. Thanks.
MindyzTaken: I've heard they're good for dealing with stress in general, and also to prevent colds & other conditions which are caused by a vitamin C deficiency. They contain a LOT of vitamin C. They also contain a lot of other vitamins too, like E & K and I think beta carotene.
I have vitamin C with rose hips..I take them all the time,,but I never knew what the rose hips are actually good for..I know they are good for you,,but what exactly? Im just curious..

I've just started attending a course to learn about TCM and wow what an interesting course it is. One of the ladies in my class was diagnosed with leukemia last year and she is using TCM to heal her body. She has been able to keep her fulltime job and says has more energy now that before!!! Imagine if she was using radiotherapy and chemo to treat the leukemia!
