Omega Fatty Acids and Your Health
Posted by Christian Goodman at Jan 31st, 2009 in Nutrition
I grew up in Iceland where we would drink the pure fat from fish liver. It’s called lysi and it was awful. Today you can get it in pill form.
All I knew is that it was somehow beneficial to me and my health. As an adult, I developed an insatiable curiosity about natural health remedies. So, in addition to my other research, I decided to research the benefits of the fish fat.
Omega Fatty Acids are considered essential but polyunsaturated. So, the body needs them, but cannot produce them. We have to get them in the form of an ingestable.
Fish can supply the omega fatty acids (tuna, herring, salmon). Two servings per week though is the suggested limit as they also contain mercury.
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.
Supplements are another way to get the essential fatty acids if your diet does not currently supply you with an adequate amount.
Why is all of this really that important? Research proves that developing babies require this.
Death, heart attacks and strokes can be reduced due to the omega fatty acids. They can also slow the progression of atherosclerosis, lower triglycerides, and can lower blood pressure.
Recent research even shows possible possible benefits for cancer treatments, specifically, breast cancer, prostate and colon cancer
While my Weight Loss Breeze program includes no special dietary requirements, it is very successful if a healthy weight is your goal.
