Summers here and if your not working on getting and staying fit this is the 1st step to reaching your weight loss goals the healthy way,Proper Diet,notice I didnt say dieting,because it usually doesnt result in permanent weight loss,any exercise is better than no exercise, and supplements.
Here is a powerful supplement you need to pay attention to,so read on..Omega 3 fish oil has so many proven benefits that the list is longer then I can mention in this post today,having said that lets begin by saying that omega 3 fish oil is critical to good health,the benefits include but not limited to:
Longer life
overall improved health
leaner physique
a clearer head
younger looking skin
reduced risk of heart disease
improved blood sugar control
less likelihood of high blood pressure
lower risk of colon cancer
This list is a sample of the benefits of omega 3 fish oils,your body cant make them,and inadequate amounts can kill you.as many as 96,000 people die each year in the United States due to lack of Omega 3s in their diets,according to research led by the Harvard School of Public Health an published in the Public Library Of Science Medical Journal.
3 Ways to add Omega-3s to your diet
1).Supplements
The Key omega-3 fats in fish are EPA and DHA.one third of fish oil in supplements is a combination of EPA and DHA.Look at the product labels and see how much of each your getting not all supplements are the same,some contain higher amounts of both so read the labels,pharmaceutical grade is suppose to be the purest form of fish oil I cant verify that in this post.Nutritional Physicians recommend 1 gram a day for healthy people and 3 grams a day for those with diabetes and heart disease or inflammatory diseases.
2).Fish
One 3 oz serving of fresh or frozen canned salmon or sardines can provide between 1 and 2 gm of omega 3 fats with negligible levels of mercury.
3).Plant sources
Flax seed oil,chia seed and hemp are popular plant sources of omega 3 fats in the form of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) our bodies convert ALA to the EPA and DHA forms found in fish. For more information on this and the effects omega-3s to your health you can go to American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
