This was revealed in a medical study in Australia.
A joint study by the George Institute for Global Health and the University of New South Wales found that eating fatty fish twice a week reduces the risk of developing chronic kidney disease, while the function of this organ is also affected with age. There are not.
According to an estimate, around 700 million people worldwide suffer from chronic kidney disease.
These diseases increase the risk of kidney failure and death and are often diagnosed late.
A new study found that high consumption of omega-3 fatty acids found in fish may help reduce the risk of kidney problems.
Studies have not found a reduction in the risk of kidney disease from omega-3 fatty acids in fruits or vegetables.
"Although we can't say definitively which types of fish are most helpful in preventing kidney disease, we found that higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids in the blood are associated with an increased risk of fatal kidney disease," the researchers said. Reduces
He said that these fatty acids are more abundant in cold water fish.
He said people are already advised that eating fatty fish twice a week is good for health.
Previous animal research has shown that omega-3 fatty acids can improve kidney function, but not much work has been done on humans.
That's why researchers examined the effects of omega-3 fatty acids on humans in this study.
After analyzing the results of 19 research reports from 12 countries, researchers found that high levels of omega-3 fatty acids in the blood reduce the risk of chronic kidney disease.
After adjusting for age, sex, body weight, smoking, alcohol consumption, physical activity and other factors, the study found that eating more fish reduced the risk of developing chronic kidney disease by 8 to 13 percent.۔
Similarly, the rate of decline in kidney function also slows down.
The results of the study were published in the journal BMJ.
