Fish Tanked
The results of a study on the overuse of fish oil supplements say it may increase an initial stroke and contribute to cardiovascular disease. Medical News Today reports that “Fish oil, a source of omega-3 fatty acids commonly used to reduce cardiovascular risk, might increase the risk of heart attack and stroke among people who have good cardiovascular health.”
About 610,000 people of the 795,000 who have strokes each year have strokes for the first time. About 185,000 of the 795,000 people have already had a stroke, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).

Despite the known benefits of dietary fish oil, it’s important to note that research suggests fish oil supplements may not offer the same significant improvements to heart health.
Fish Oil Supplement Could Have You Swimming With The Fishes
Even if the overuse of fish oil supplements can contribute to a first-time stroke for some people, dietitians recommend a healthy lifestyle and avoiding swimming with fish early.
Below Are CDC Facts to lower the risk of a stroke:
*Choose foods high in fiber and low in saturated fats, trans fats, and cholesterol.

*Exercising regularly
*Maintaining a healthy weight
*Limiting alcohol consumption
*Quitting smoking
*Keeping blood pressure and cholesterol levels in the normal range

Medical Science issues a warning to the American population as a reminder that:

- Early action is essential for stroke.
- Stroke statistics vary by race and ethnicity.
