BLOOD PRESSURE O
THE WHOLE FISH IS BEST FOR
ver the years, a broad range of research has confi rmed that omega-3 fatty acids found in fatty fi sh like salmon, tuna and sardines promote heart and brain health. Now researchers at the University of Pennsylvania’s Perelman School of Medicine have found that taking fi sh oil supplements isn’t as effective at keeping blood pressure under control as eating an actual fi sh. The animal study published in the U.S.
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences shows that eating oily fi sh helped open ion channels, a complex series of membranes in the cells that line blood vessels, letting sodium, calcium and potassium in and out of those crucial cells and helping reduce blood pressure. Because fi sh oil supplements did not activate the ion channels, they didn’t reduce blood pressure in the same way.
