Eating oily fish might help one reducing his weight, say researchers. Fatty acids found in oily fish won't only make you age slowly, but as A new research has found, that fatty acids found in fish oil will help keep the weight down and maintain good health with a little bit of exercise.
Professor Peter Howe, from the University of South Australia who led the 12-week trial conducted their study on 68 overweight-to-obese adults at risk of coronary disease and found that daily doses of oil containing Omega-3 fatty acids, along with moderate exercises like walking, could result in significant weight loss.
The researchers explained that they found that fish oil helps people in losing weight by increasing the elasticity of blood vessel walls and thereby improving the flow of blood to muscles while they exercise.
The researchers suggested that the high mercury levels in oily fish like mackerel, salmon and sardines could be responsible for this effect. However, experts say that it is essential for everybody including pregnant women to eat sufficient fish to stay healthy.
