The Omega-3 fatty acids are also known as essential fatty acids. They are vital to human health but cannot be manufactured by the body. Because of this reason, these acids must be obtained from food. These efas, vital elements of the human body are very efficient in preventing and treating numerous medical conditions.

A series of studies concluded that women that consume fatty rich foods on a regular basis have a reduced risk of developing breast cancer. The fatality of breast cancer is greatly reduced if women eat large amounts of omega 3 aliments, such as fatty fish or brown kelp seaweed. Women who try to reduce the risk of developing this type of cancer can very well substitute meat for fish.

Scientists have linked the development and growth of breast cancer tumors to the improper balance between the amounts of fatty acids in the body.

Medics can only suspect at this time the way the these acids help protect against breast cancer. Administering these fats in combination with other nutrients (vitamin C, vitamin E, beta-carotene, selenium and coenzyme Q10) can play an important role in understanding the way breast cancer may be slowed down or even defeated.

A Danish study performed on 200 women showed that administering omega 3 supplements can ease menstrual pains and associated conditions, such as hot flashes or increased sweating.

Such fats also play an important role in protecting the skin. Because one of the effects of these fatty acids is reducing inflammation, they have been used to heal wounds of burnt victims. The presence of omega 3 in the body helps keep a correct balance of proteins in the body, and many such proteins are important for skin repair and recovery after sustaining a burn.

Being vital elements of the cell membrane, these fats help protect the skin from damaging factors. A study focused on people suffering from psoriasis showed that the combination of supplements plus standard psoriasis treatment was more efficient than taking only the medication.

Skin specialists recommend people who are suffering from acne to consume omega rich flaxseed because of the benefit fatty acids have on treating skin problems. People suffering from light sensitivity get their UV exposure symptoms relieved after taking fish oil supplements.

Every breastfeeding mom will cringe at this word. It’s blocked milk duct. And it will get inflamed, swells and hurts very much. If not treated, may lead to abscesess that requires surgical procedure to drain out. Mine is on the right side of my right breast, near the armpit. I suspect it was caused when my baby knocked onto it in his sleep when he wants to nurse at night, which is often the case.

I ran a low fever due to this yesterday noon. The affected area is red with mild swelling. My nipple even has a tiny whitened spot on the tip. It’s damn painful when baby nurses. The most effective way to clear a blocked duct is to let baby nurse on it as much as possible. Abrupt weaning will worsen the condition and is not advisable.

I usually treat the affected area with a hot compress to help open up the blocked ducts and passageways. I pour hot water into a milk bottle, wrap it up in a nappy cloth and apply the heat slowly to my breast. Remember to wrap it up or it’ll burn your skin. It’s worked for me every time.

Though slow, sure beats paying a visit to the doctor’s. But if the condition worsens or shows no signs of improvement after two or three days, common sense will tell you to go visit one for further treatment. Try at your own risk and dont hold me responsible, ya.

A new study has confirmed that for most women, six or more hours of strenuous exercise each week can reduce the risk of invasive breast cancer.
