All women are worried about their ability to prevent breast cancer. Breast cancer kills thousands of women each year. Millions of dollars in research go to trying to find new ways to treat and cure this problem. But the best and easiest way to stay safe is to just take every step possible to preventing breast cancer in the first place.

Omega 3 fatty acids and breast cancer prevention go hand in hand according to a study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. There are also many additional studies that indicate there could be a connection. Fish oil and flax oil contain loads of omega 3 fatty acids. They contain anti-inflammatory compounds and contribute to your hearts overall health. The anti-inflammatory nature of this compound could be what helps to prevent breast cancer.

Omega 3s in your diet generally come from fish or flax seeds. You could have a moderate omega 3 deficiency if you don’t really eat fish or flax seed. This can be seriously harmful to your health. This can create serious cardiovascular problems or depression. It can also seriously interfere with your immune system and this can make you more sensitive to auto-immune diseases, some types of diabetes and some types of migraines.

The auto-immune issue is where researchers are tend to believe that omega 3s can also contribute to breast cancer prevention. Anti-inflammatory agents can actually calm cells down that have gone “haywire”. If the cell is calmed and does not start dividing uncontrollably, then the cancer could be avoided.

More people that not end up taking a daily omega 3 supplement for their health, in general, because they want to do everything they can to prevent cancer. At the least they are really contributing to many facets of their health like heart health and memory functions. Its better to be prepared and take omega 3 supplements, while the research is still going on on whether or not it will actually help prevent breast cancer.
