Omega Fatty Acids and Your Health

By Christian Goodman

Let me start by telling you about lysi. In Iceland where I grew up, this is what I had to drink. It is the fat from the liver of fish. Fortunately, today it is not necessary to drink this to get the benefit.

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.

Our bodies require certain vitamins and nutrients. Our bodies are not capable of creating many of them so we have to ingest them. Omega Fatty Acids is one of these essential polyunsaturated fatty acids.

The best place to get this is in fish such as salmon, tuna or sardines. But, because of the mercury content and other toxins, this needs to be in limited quantities. Two servings per week at most.

Sunflower seeds, soybeans, olive oil and avacados also contain omega fatty acids. There are a number of foods that have the fatty acids added to them in manufacturing such as some cereals, orange juice and baby food.

Food is a great way to add omega fatty acids to your body. You might want to consult with your nutritionist to verify just how much is enough for you.

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.

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

While I always encourage a well balanced diet, if weight loss is your goal, I strongly recommend my Weight Loss Breeze Program.
