You have probably heard about fish oils at some point. There have been numerous studies coming out left and right proving that this supplement works and that it has extremely healthy benefits for everyone that takes it. Fish oil comes from the tissues of cold water fish an enters the is in the category of essential fatty acid (EFA). Which means that they cannot be made by our bodies, they need to be obtained from the diet. Fish oils provide the omega-3 fatty acids, the other EFA is omega-6, which is less important and you need less, but is still essential to get from diet. Alright now for the good stuff– What Fish Oils can do for you:
- FAT LOSS: Yup, studies have proven that fish oil’s improve your body’s mechanism to burn fat, mostly in the abdominal region.
- Reduces inflammation of joints and muscle soreness.
- Lowers triglycerides and blood pressure, reduces chance of blood clots and risk of stroke.
- Elevates mood, decreases depression, lowers stress
- Helps create a stronger immune system and improves digestion
- Helps to prevent certain types of cancer.
There’s a lot more too. Sounds great! The benfits far outweigh the costs. You can get this fine supplement in liquid or capsule form. I recommend the capsules, the liquid isn’t too appealing. You can also get your fill from fish, and different types of oils. Always try and shoot for at least 2-3 servings of fish each week–and yes tuna does count! But be careful, you want to make sure that your EFA supplement has antioxidants in it too, to make sure the oil doesn’t oxidize in your body. The one I use is EFA Icon. 2 months ago I switched, the difference is amazing, and my bodyfat is down 1.6%.
