Juvenile Diabetics Get Benefits from a Fish

By Michael Byrd

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!

Children who take in cod liver oil (don't worry, we will get to salmon later) while they are still young, have lesser chances of developing juvenile diabetes, 25% more than those who do not get such supplements. This study of the Norwegian Institute of Health has also been 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 two types of diabetes: type 1 and type 2. With both types, the person is not able to produce sufficient amounts of insulin and this causes blood sugar problems. Adults usually get the type 2 diabetes while children get the type 1. But recently, there has been an alarming rise of children also getting the type 2 diabetes because of a poor lifestyle health habit.

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.

Don't you thing that it is great that omega 3 fish can rescue them? But hey this is not the first time. For two decades now, research has been conducted and has proven that EPA and DHA have lots of health benefits and among it is the positive result it can provide to type 2 diabetics. The latest study now shows that omega 3 fish oil may also prevent the type 1 diabetes. This may make you want you kiss a fish. (Or perhaps not!)

Cold water fish like cod and salmon contains EPA and DHA. The Arctic Ocean water is a great source of salmon which contains the purest and most potent omega 3 oil. Since the usual cause of type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease, the anti-inflammatory properties found in omega 3 fish oils is said to be what has convinced scientists that fish oil can help juvenile diabetics.

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.

If you want to have a smart, strong and healthy child, I recommend that you make sure your family has plenty of cold water fish in their diet and add high amounts of omega 3 salmon oil to it. - 17273
