The Value of 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.

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.

Fish can supply the omega fatty acids (tuna, herring, salmon). Two servings per week though is the suggested limit as they also contain mercury.

Other foods containing the omega fatty acids are soybeans, walnuts and flaxseed. Some things like cereals, orange juice and baby food are even manufactured with the fatty acids now.

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.

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.

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.

Other health problems that can be positively affected by omega fatty acids are depression, rheumatoid artiritis and possibly even certain cancers.

While my Weight Loss Breeze program includes no special dietary requirements, it is very successful if a healthy weight is your goal.
