People with problems metabolizing glucose may benefit from eating fatty fish, according to researchers from Finland. In particular, it changes the size and lipid composition of high-density lipoproteins (HDL), which support cardiovascular health. The study also established that camelina sativa oil reduces harmful intermediate-density lipoprotein (IDL) levels in the body.
Based on the findings, researchers concluded that consumption of both fatty fish and camelina sativa oil may improve a person’s chances against cardiovascular risk.
