Why you need to eat fish oil during cold season

I heard quite often that it is very useful, but some advice from my friends convinced me that it should definitely be consumed during the ARI season. Why? I am sharing with you the information received.

As a prophylactic agent

As my parents told me, it is better to engage in disease prevention than treatment. At a time when there are many people around me coughing and sneezing without masks on public transport, this becomes especially relevant. I heard that fish oil contains many beneficial substances that help prevent infection from entering the body. It is not for nothing that underwater inhabitants have a special layer that has protective properties, helping them not only not to freeze in ice water, but also to protect themselves from pathogenic bacteria and viruses.

Strengthening the heart

I've heard that people with cardiovascular disease are especially vulnerable to colds. It is during the season, when almost everyone coughs and sneezes, that they can get sick, and a weak heart can not cope with either the disease or its consequences. Quite often, this leads to the fact that with age, the vessels become weak and, having a cold, the elderly can catch not only the flu or coronovirus, but also a stroke. As I read, the use of fish oil helps to significantly reduce this risk - it makes the vessels more elastic and prevents the onset of the disease.

Why is it especially recommended for coronavirus

There is no guarantee that during the cold season you will not catch coronavirus or flu in regular transport. Unfortunately, it is not easy to distinguish it from the common cold, but even with this disease, it is important to take care of your body. Why did I choose fish oil? It improves health in case of colds, helps not to get sick with them. It contains not only omega-3s, but also rare combinations of vitamins and minerals that help those who suffer from obesity, diabetes, painful periods and even tuberculosis. It helps me maintain strength during the cold season, so I take not only 1-2 capsules a day, but I also eat fish, not ignoring the fat layer - in the cold season, it is especially important.

My mom also takes fish oil. It helps her feel better and cope with surges in blood pressure, and after using it, I noticed that my hair and nails became better.
