Several previous findings highlight the health benefits of omega-3 fatty acids - acids that exist on the type of oily fish - like salmon, mackerel and sardines on men. But now, oily fish is believed to have more benefits for young women to increase blood pressure, heart and blood vessel function.Lead researcher Dr. Marin Strom from Statens Serum Institut in Copenhagen, Denmark said, "Our research shows that eating fish is very important for overall health, especially for young women."Research involving 49,000 women in Denmark with an age range of 15 to 49 years were doing monitoring the health of study participants for eight years. When diet, lifestyle and family history were given assessment. The researchers also recorded 577 cardiovascular events like heart attack and stroke as well as five cases of death.The result, researchers found that women who rarely or almost never ate fish had a 90 percent higher cardiovascular problems than those who ate fish every week."We focus exclusively on women who are infertile. Although we found that a simple diet could protect heart health, but of a higher level of diet can give better results," said Dr. Storm, as quoted by the Daily Mail.With the study published in the 'American Heart Association journal Hypertension', the researchers hope to encourage women to eat more oily fish. National Health Service (NHS) recommends a healthy diet should include at least two servings of fish a week, one of oily fish. However, for pregnant women not more than two portions a week.Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) is the 'killer' biggest in the UK. This disease causes about 94,000 deaths each year, and one in seven women die from the disease. CHD symptoms can include chest pain and heart attacks. But in some cases, people can not find any symptoms before being diagnosed. (nan/29/11)
