Did you know that your chance of developing diabetes increases three times just by adding an extra one.four ounces or 40g of fat to your diet every day? Diets rich in animal fat cut back the effectiveness of insulin. Testing performed by The university of Sydney (in Australia) indicated that high levels of fatty acids in the cells result in greater insulin resistance by the body. The research as well found that high levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids (as located in fish oil) result in more efficient insulin activity.

Unlike fat that comes from other animals, fish oil is comprised mainly of polyunsaturated fat. Rich in omega-three fatty acids, fish oils helps the body in reducing levels of bad cholesterol and protects our arteries from clogging up. For this reason, omega-three fatty acids are proven to be good for maintaining a healthy heart. This in turn can be helpful to handle diabetes.
