News - Health experts recommend doctors prescribe omega-3 acids - Healthy Direct (UK)
A leading independent health organisation has recommended that doctors make a better diet, including consumption of more oily fish and omega-3 fatty acids, part of their recommendation for patients who have suffered heart attacks.
The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) has said that healthy lifestyle recommendations should go alongside prescribed drugs in efforts to help prevent repeat attacks.
NICE has updated guidelines it last set out in 2001, and now recommends two to four portions of fish a week for heart patients. If that figure cannot be met, then the guidelines suggest that the fish can be replaced with daily omega-3 supplements of at least 1g.
Dr Gill Leng, NICE implementation systems director, commented that the new framework should help ensure a "coherent and consistent approach amongst clinicians of all disciplines and places of practice".
"Its overall aim is to provide the growing number of people who now survive a heart attack with the good quality systematic care that is essential to improving long term outcomes and quality of life," added Dr Leng.
As part of a more Mediterranean-style diet, other foods that should be incorporated into the diet of past heart attack sufferers include bread, fruit and vegetables - while meat intake should be reduced.
What a crock of shit! Eat more Omega3. Where does Omega3 come from? Meat. Oh, but eat less meat. !!!?? Eat grassfed beef and game meats and you'll have all the Omega3 you need, with little saturated fat. Oh, and the fish, if it's farm raised is fed GRAIN! That means no omega3! So while I'm eating a grassfed steak filled with Omega3, some jerk is eating a farm raised salmon with none at all and smuggly smirking to himself. What an asshole!
