Some Facts about Omega 3 Fatty Acids
We hear so much about frightening information about cholesterol and fatty foods that sometimes people think that “Fatty acids” means “fattening acids!” This is an understandable but dangerous supposition. Omega 3 Fatty Acids are essential to the maintenance of health, are non-fattening and actually reduce cholesterol levels!
Omega 3 Fatty Acids are found in fish and other sea life. They are necessary for our health and well-being, but are not produced naturally in our bodies. We need to ingest them. Because fish is no longer a daily part of our diets, the best way to get the fatty acids we need is through fish oil.
People in Japan and Korea consume far more fish rich in fatty acids than we in the west do. Their cholesterol levels are lower, they have a longer life expectancy and they are less subject to obesity. That’s right, Omega 3 Fatty Acids actually help in weight loss!
Even more importantly, fish oil is extremely important for brain functioning. That’s because it contains high levels of DHA, a chemical needed for the proper transmission of brain signals.
You needn’t go on an all fish diet to get the Omega 3 Fatty Acids you need for optimal health. A supplement will give you all of the vital Omega 3 Fatty Acids you require.
Great post!
Just as an addition, the quality of the Omega 3 Fatty Acids supplement is important too!
I read it somewhere else that most of the cheap products quality sucks and that they are few brands that will give you the optimal results!
Before you buy any, make sure you research!
