The Value of Omega Fatty Acids

By Christian Goodman

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 essential but our bodies cannot produce them. For that reason, we have to supply our bodies with this through other means such as food.

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

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 do we want to do this anyway? Studies have proven that babies require this for proper development.

Studies have shown that omega fatty acids can reduce the progression of cardiovascular problems.

Recent research even shows possible possible benefits for cancer treatments, specifically, breast cancer, prostate and colon cancer

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