Eating fatty fish regularly, at least four times a week, is claimed to increase the amount of good cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease. This is based on findings from a team of researchers from the University of Eastern Finland.
The results showed that fatty fish can increase the size and composition of lipids in High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) particles, or commonly known as good cholesterol, in patients with glucose metabolism. Not only that, the consumption of 30 milliliters (ml) of Camelina oil, which has a high Alpha-Linolenic acid content, can decrease the number of Intermediate-Density Lipoprotein (IDL) particles. Camelina oil is known to be included in the Omega-3 fatty acids.
IDL is an early form of Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL), also known as bad cholesterol and is one of the leading causes of heart disease. Previous studies have also shown, Omega-3 fatty acids in fish have a good effect on the composition and measurement of Lipoprotein.
"These two changes, the composition and size of lipoproteins, can help lower the risk of heart disease," the study said, as quoted by Indian Express.
The results have been published in the medical journal, Molecular and Food Research. In the study, the team conducted observations of 100 Finns, both men and women between the ages of 40 and 72, who had impaired glucose metabolism. Participants in the study were divided into four groups.
In the first group, participants were given Camelina Oil. Then the second group was given fatty fish intake. Meanwhile, in the third group get additional food in the form of non-fat fish, and the last group did not get additional intake. The study took 12 weeks. As a result, the first and second groups had high levels of HDL cholesterol and low IDL cholesterol levels. '' While the last two groups did not change in terms of size and composition of lipoprotein particles in their bodies, '' the description of the study.
Some types of fatty fish are salmon, mackerel, sardines, herring, trout, anchovies, catfish, and shrimp.
