Omega 3. Their targeted inclusion in our diet could be useful in the prevention of breast tumors and in the slowing of their growth, according to one recent research.
Omega 3 fatty acids, already considered among the nutritional elements useful for reducing blood pressure and avoiding alterations of the heart rate, could represent an important key in the prevention and fight against breast cancer.
According to research carried out by a team of Canadian experts at the University of Guleph, the presence of omega 3 fatty acids in the body can contribute to slow the growth of breast cancer by 30%, reducing the size of the tumor itself, as well as lowering the risk of such a disease.
The observations made by the researchers, based on laboratory tests, led to observe a 30% decrease in tumor size relating to the mammary area in the presence of omega 3 fatty acids. The statements of the experts in this regard appear encouraging at the moment.
According to what was stated by the Dr. David Ma, among the authors of the study that correlated omega 3 fatty acids and the development of breast cancers, the fact that a food substance may have a significant effect on breast cancer development and growth should be considered significant and worthy of attention.
According to the expert, the discovery could have very important implications for the breast cancer prevention. We remind you that, in order to take the substances necessary for the body for the formation of omega 3 fatty acids, the fish does not represent thesingle source food (among other things, controversial). Other foods useful for this purpose are represented by linseed oil, flax seed e nights.
