How do fish oils work?

Scientific study has conclusively revealed that eating large amounts of fish oil seems to reduce the risk of diabetes. Omega-3 fatty acids encourages the recpetor sites on muscle to increses insulin sensitivity. This allows the body to release less insulin. This has the knock on effect of limiting fat storage and so insulin channels carbohydrates and proteins into muscle tissues.

Omega-3s also help fight inflammation both in joints and muscle tissue. Inflammation causes a chronic elevation of cortisol which can destroy the insulin receptors on muscle tissue and when this occurs body fat rises.
