Heat Therapy and Omega 3 on Cardio-Metabolic Health

Status unconfirmed · Not applicable · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Hypertension

In brief

Currently, controlled studies are lacking which test the benefits of: 1) ω3 PUFA; and 2) heat therapy on improving vascular-metabolic-microbiota health in Hispanic American populations. The investigator's objective is to determine if this modality (heat therapy i.e., warm water immersion, hot tubs) combined with dietary interventions (increased fish and/or fish oil intake) may be feasible treatments to improve cardiovascular risk factors and reduced comorbidities in Hispanic populations.
