Tips for Promoting a Normal Healthy, Balanced Inflammatory Response: Don’t Forget the Fish (and Fish Oil)

Month after month another study is published that confirms again the lesson of previous studies: fish oils (and the fish that contain them) are powerful promoters of balance in the human immune system. Recently, researchers confirmed that maintaining a healthy inflammatory state depends upon adequate daily consumption of fish oils – especially fish oils that are highly refined to contain concentrated levels of the essential fats DHA and EPA, and less fishy contaminants, mercury, pollutants and carcinogens.⁹

The Mediterranean Diet – Is It The Oil?

A mainstay of the Mediterranean dietary lifestyle is the copious use and consumption of high-quality extra virgin cold-pressed olive oil. Is this important? The results of a recently-published randomized controlled clinical trial has shown that the high phytonutrient content of extra virgin olive oil is “heart healthy,” producing increased serum HDL-cholesterol concentrations and decreased serum triglyceride, LDL-cholesterol and oxidized LDL cholesterol concentrations.⁸ In addition, a laboratory study has shown that two of the polyphenol phytonutrients in olive oil, hydroxytyrosol and oleuropein, impair the ability of damaged blood vessel lining cells to trick white blood cells into helping them form an arterial plaque.⁹

These findings help explain the observation that the routine, life-long consumption of several tablespoons of high-quality olive oil daily (as salad dressing, cooking oil, salsa or olives) can reduce the chances of ever having a heart attack by 75% or more.¹⁰

Of course, the health benefits of olive oil extend far beyond the heart and cardiovascular system. For example a recently published review article demonstrated that breast cancer and colon cancer in particular are less likely to occur in adults who habitually practice a Mediterranean dietary lifestyle.² These reviewers explained the mechanisms through which oleic acid, the major monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) in olive oil, suppressed several of the very first biochemical events that convert a normal breast or colon cell into a cancerous cell – a mechanism that could help oncologists understand better the value of olive oil both to their patients and as a “cancer preventive” option for the general population.
