Go Fish! Omega Fatty Acids

by Christian Goodman

Growing up in Iceland, I had to drink lysi. If you're not familiar with it, it is pure fat from fish liver. It was HORRIBLE. It is however, very healthy and is now available in capsules or pills.

As a child, all I really understood is that this horrible drink was somehow healthy for me. As an adult, I now care about validating these types of things. So, I chose to research the value of the fish fat.

Omega Fatty Acids are essential but our bodies cannot produce them. For that reason, we have to supply our bodies with this through other means such as food.

Salmon, tuna, herring and some other fish can supply the fatty acids. However, fish can also contain toxins so we have to monitor the quantities we eat.

Flaxseed, walnuts, soybean or their oils also contain omega fatty acids. In fact, certain foods like margarine, baby formula and orange juice are now manufactured by adding the fatty acids into them.

Getting omega fatty acids through food is considered the best way to get it. You may however want to consult with your doctor or nutritionist to verify just how much you need.

For those whose diets do not provide an adequate amount of the omega fatty acids, supplements may be a good alternative.

Why is all of this really that important? Research proves that developing babies require this.

Research even shows that some heart related problems can be reduced by regular intake of omega fatty acids. Blood pressure can also benefit from this.

Rheumatoid arthritis, depression and anxiety disorders are problems that can be assisted with omega fatty acids.

A nutritious diet is always recommended. But another all natural weight loss program is my Weight Loss Breeze Program.
