Juvenile Diabetics Get Assistance from a Fish

By Michael Byrd

There are times when the simplest solution is just what we need. Don't you think that is just great? There has been research that shows that a problem like juvenile diabetes that has actually become a problem for millions of children around the world, needs only a very simple solution ? 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!)

In the two types of diabetes ? type 1 and type 2, the body is not able to produce insulin or store glucose properly thus, causing problems in the blood sugar. The type 2 diabetes is often seen amongst adults. But lately, because more and more people are developing bad health habits and poor lifestyle, children are also getting the type 2 diabetes.

Juvenile diabetes, or also known as the type 1 diabetes normally begins in childhood or adolescence. With this type of diabetes, the insulin production stops, hence the need for daily insulin injections. These insulin injections have complications though, and within 15 years of the onset of diabetes, an estimate of 80% of patients ends up having major eye damage. Some may experience kidney failure and may need dialysis. But the scariest thing is 35% of juvenile diabetics' die of heart attack as they reach the age of 50.

Isn't it amazing to have omega 3 fish as a life savior? But this is not actually the first time. Two decades ago, research has also proved that EPA and DHA have lots of health benefits including that for type 2 diabetics. This latest study on omega 3 fish oil just proves that it can also be used for type 1 diabetes. It may make you want to kiss a fish.(But maybe not!)

Salmon that is found in the unpolluted Arctic Ocean waters seems to be the greatest source for fish oil. EPA and DHA are derived from cold water fish, such as cod and salmon. The anti-inflammatory properties of omega 3 in fish oil is aid to be the one that helps prevent type 1 diabetes, since it is commonly caused by an autoimmune disease.

Pregnant and lactating mothers are advised to take pure fish oil, to assure that their children get life-long health benefits. EPA and DHA can improve the baby's nervous system, hearing and vision. The development of baby's brain is also enhanced with omega 3 fish oil.

So if you want to see your child growing up to be smart, strong and healthy, I would recommend that you see to it that your family eats enough cold water fish and supplement your diet with high quality omega 3 salmon oil capsules. - 17269
