UN: AIDS epidemic stable; fewer deaths, infections (AP)

AP - Fewer people are dying of AIDS, more patients are on HIV medication and the global AIDS epidemic is stable after peaking in the late 1990s.

Omega 3 or fish oil capsules should be consumed on a daily basis. Daily recommended dosage is 3 to 4 capsules which provides up to 400 mg of both DHA and EPA. If you are taking fish oil in liquid form, then 1 tablespoon after each meal is sufficient to fulfill a day's needs.

Both DHA and EPA which are found in large quantities primarily in fish oil are required for the prevention of many diseases like coronary heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer's disease, arthritis, diabetes and many other degenerative diseases.

Omega 3 dosage has to be watched by people of all ages, especially pregnant women. It has to be kept in mind that fatty acids lower blood pressure and therefore they should not be consumed in large quantities at once. For this purpose, omega capsules were introduced to the market that provides only optimal amounts of DHA and EPA at one time.

In addition to an optimal dosage, one should also eat a healthy and well-balanced diet including all foods. Fish is recommended to people of all ages. So are whole grain foods, beans and pulses etc. Soybeans, flax seeds and tofu are excellent sources of omega 3 fats.

Some other plant oils also provide a good percentage of both omega 3 and omega 6 fats. However, since plant oils elevate blood pressure, they are not recommended to people with high cholesterol and high blood pressure. These oils include hemp oil, corn oil and soybean oil.

Some alternative foods can also be consumed to address the daily dosage of omega needs. These foods include enriched eggs and fish oil supplement products available over the counter. Omega 3 enriched eggs provide up to 300 mg of both DHA and EPA in one serving. 2 eggs are enough to fulfill a day's requirements.

If you are looking for supplements, try to find the ones made with pharmaceutical grade fish oil. This grade of oil is fit for consumption as it does not contain any impurities or contaminants from the ocean.

In addition to this, products made with the oil of the Hoki fish found in the waters of New Zealand are excellent because these waters contain very little amounts of heavy metals and toxins. Good quality supplements can be consumed by people of all ages without any hesitation.
