| Omega 3 Slows Aging and Boosts Immune System |
| Omega 3 has many health
benefits and it’s only during the last few years that we have
seen the benefits of Omega 3 talked, researched about and added to our
foods. It has been included in foods such as milk, eggs, cereals,
yoghurt and many others! Omega 3 comes from many sources, but the most familiar and most easily attainable in our diets is from fish. I have heard that the Omega 3 from seals is the best source of all of them, probably one of the reasons the Inuit in northern Canada manage to stay healthy during the winter. This will probably get more attention in the coming years, good or bad, but I am not going to go there with this article. Ethical issues are always the choice of an individual! What are some of the benefits of Omega 3? Anti Aging Latest research shows that by consuming Omega 3 it can slow down the aging process. Of course other factors do play into this like eating properly and exercise. Immune System Booster The biggest benefit that I feel you will get from Omega 3 is that it boosts your immune system, so you feel healthier and stronger. If you do get a cold or flu, I find that by particularly eating fish or taking Omega 3 capsules, it helps you to fight off the severity and duration of colds or flus. Energy Booster Tied in with being an immune system booster, I find that it increases my energy levels and my strength too. The reason I think this is the case is that since it boosts your overall immune system, you feel healthier, more positive and stronger. Where I see the big advantage of Omega 3 in my diet is at the gym. Not only do I feel more energetic, but I feel a lot stronger. Therefore I can accomplish more in my weight training workouts . Plus it helps me get through those dark, cold and brutal winters! Like I said earlier, the best way to consume Omega 3 is by eating fish. Stick to smaller fish since larger fish will contain higher levels of mercury. It’s recommended that you have 2 servings of fish per week. Sardines are probably the best source of Omega 3 for you. If you are not sure about the level of mercury in fish let me offer you this suggestion. Find out where the fish was caught or the country of origin. By this I mean, some waters where fish can be caught may be more polluted than others. Personally, I would stay away from fish caught offshore from China. If you’ve seen pictures of the Yangtze River, you will know what I mean! For the days you don’t eat fish, take 2 capsules of Omega 3 capsules daily and make sure that these capsules contain Omega 3 from mercury-free sources and are from a reputable dietary supplement company. Personally I don’t go out and buy foods that contain Omega 3 because they tend to be a lot more expensive for the marginal amount of Omega 3 that it contains! I prefer eating fish and taking capsules. These are just my opinions on Omega 3 and how it has benefited my health. At this time, some governments and medical organizations around the world have endorsed the benefits of Omega 3, while others feel more study and research is needed.  Custom Search PopularFitness.com
