Fish and Cancer Prevention

Thursday, December 13th, 2007

Even though your main purpose for working out may be for muscle building or fat burning purposes, your overall health still must be a high priority of yours. Hey, it doesn’t how much muscle you’re carrying or how much weight you can lift if your body is in a diseased state.

Well, Ironman Magazine has some interesting information to say about fish and cancer prevention. According to the mag, fish may help prevent prostate cancer (which is a big problem amongst males). Research published in The Lancet found that men who ate fish two to three times a week were less likely to get the disease than those who didn’t eat fish. The omega-3 fats and their anti-inflammatory effects appear to be the reason.

Sure you want to hit those muscle building workouts hard, but you’ve gotta keep that cancer away!
