Eat More Fish: Eating Fish Prevents Colon Cancer 

Health Benefits of Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Eating fish or other omega-3 fat containing foods and fish oil capsules may reduce colon cancer risk. A new study found that men not taking aspirin with high blood levels of omega-3 fatty acids had a 66% reduction of colorectal cancer compared with those with low levels. Omega-3 fatty acids aid brain function and protect against dementia and heart disease.

Sources of omega-3 fats:
Fish and seafood
Fish oil capsules
Flaxseed oil
Free-range chicken
Game meat
Leafy green vegetables
Liver
Nuts: Brazil, Cashews, Macadamia, Pistachios, Walnuts
Omega-3 enriched chicken eggs
Pasture-fed beef or buffalo
Walnuts

Omega-3 fatty acids may block the chemical pathway linked to cancer development and growth. Eating the equivalent of a U.S. standard sized meal of fish or seafood a twice week is linked to higher IQ babies. For those taking fish oil capsule, the typical preventive dose of omega-3 fatty acids is 1-2 grams a day while higher doses of 4-6 grams may be needed to treat various illnesses. Those with blood clotting problems or taking blood thinners should exercise caution and talk to their doctors before taking any fish oil capsule supplements. These supplements should be stopped before surgery.

Eating more fish or taking fish oil caps may be a winning strategy to reduce your risk. You also may have a higher IQ children and less of a chance of Alzheimer's disease and heart attack too!
