The average American diet falls extremely short of the necessary Omega-3s required for good health. Omega-3 fatty acids offer many benefits for keeping fit and staying trim. They support vital functions in the body and are absolutely essential for leading a healthy, productive life. Consuming fish oil every day will easily ensure the adequate intake of these health-promoting fats.
Omega 3 and Essential Fatty Acids
Omega-3 and Omega-6 (n-6) fatty acids constitute the two families of Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs). EFAs are considered "essential" because they are needed throughout the human life cycle, cannot be produced in the human body, and therefore must be provided through the diet. EFAs aid in the maintenance of cell membrane fluidity and stability, development and function of brain and nerve tissue, oxygen transfer and energy production, immune functions, and conversion into compounds involved in all body functions including local hormones governing inflammatory responses.
Taking fish oil regularly has been shown to help you lose even more fat when you exercise. Research has shown that adults who took fish oil in addition to regular exercise (45 minutes or more, three times per week, at least), lost considerably more body fat than those who just exercised. And, the key factor in weight loss is exercise. Fat calories must be used. Fish oil helps "process" energy. And where does energy come from? Food. So eating is important. Fish oil will help to "absorb" nutrients from food (and even provide some) as well as eradicating whatever the body does not need.
Accoring to Pete Cerqua, author of The 90-Second Fitness Solution, "fish–even if it is contaminated with pollutants–slows aging and promotes good health. Fish oil supplements are one better because they have been purified. They provide you with all of the beneficial health-promoting omega-3 fatty acids without the dioxin, mercury and PCBs."
Nordic Naturals Fish Oil
One Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega capsule daily, supplements my fitness and weight loss regimen. As I take the supplement in the morning, taste is an undeniable decisive factor. Nordic Naturals actually do taste great (although, I don't recommend chewing the capsules before swallowing).
They are "repeat-free" with no fishy taste or aftertaste. In addition, all of the formulas are flavored with 100% natural fruit essences. Used in combination with flax oil (see my "2-Rule,") my body "leaned out" and became considerably more toned. As effective as fish oil supplements are, results will take time. Don't expect significant changes in one week.
Nordic Naturals promote:
- Optimal heart and liver health
- Healthy glucose levels
- Prostate health
- Positive mood
- Healthy aging
Nordic Naturals are available in almost every health food store, online, some pharmacies and supermarkets. There is a store locator on www.nordicnaturals.com
