Heidelberg: Studies show - fish protects against annoying tinnitus!

Boston, USA - Fish is not only considered a particularly nutritious food, but could also have health benefits that go beyond general nutrition. A current study by Harvard Medical School scientists in Boston has shown that regular consumption of fish may be able to significantly reduce the risk of developing chronic tinnitus. These findings throw a new light on the role of seafood in daily diet and their potential protective mechanisms.

tinnitus, the constant hearing of noises such as beeping or noise affects most people at least once in life. In the majority, however, the symptoms disappear after a short time. Unfortunately, it does not stay with it for many - if the tinnitus becomes chronic, this can lead to considerable stress and a restriction of the quality of life. A team from Harvard has discovered a promising connection between nutrition, especially the consumption of fish and the risk of chronic tinnitus.

The role of fish consumption

In the long -term study, which was published in the "American Journal for Clinical Nutrition", more than 70,000 nurses were examined over a period of 30 years. The researchers observed which types of fish and seafood consumed the tests and in what quantities. The results clearly show that not all types of fish are equally suitable for minimizing the risk of tinnitus.

It was found that consumption of different types of fish is the risk of developing permanent tinnitus in order to reduce up to 30 percent compared to the operation of a diet that includes wine or no fish. Interestingly, however, it turned out that the consumption of fish oil and fish with dark meat can increase the risk by more than 30 percent. This indicates that the choice of fish product is decisive.

Which types of fish help?

According to the study, certain fish species are particularly advantageous for health when it comes to preventing tinnitus. The recommended foods include:

• tuna
• fish with light meat
• shellfish

The researchers also emphasize that the amount that is consumed is of great importance. The best results achieved test subjects who consumed two to four portions per week. Excessive consumption of fish also did not result in a significant improvement in the results. This new knowledge could help develop healthy nutritional guidelines, especially for women who, according to the study, benefit from the advantages of fish consumption.

In addition to the potential advantages against tinnitus, fish has many other health -promoting properties. It is rich in omega-3 fatty acids that are important for the cardiovascular system and contains numerous minerals and iodine. Certain types of fish are also excellent sources for vitamin D, which is particularly important in the winter months.

Overall, the German Nutrition Society recommends consuming fish at least once a week. The advantages of a balanced diet with seafood are clear, and the recent knowledge of the Harvard study underlines the importance of fish consumption as part of a healthy lifestyle. for further information, see the current reporting on www.heidelberg24.de .
