Powerful Health Benefits in Omega-3 Essential Fatty Acids
Consuming fats in your diet is essential if you want to live a healthy lifestyle that keeps you looking and feeling great. Omega-3 essential fatty acids are just one of these crucially important additions to your diet.
Here's a quick list of the health benefits associated with omega-3 essential fatty acids:
- They stabilize blood sugar levels and lower insulin levels.
- They boost your immune system.
- They encourage your body to burn fat while decreasing your appetite.
- They improve your mood and attention span.
- They reduce inflammation.
- They improve your skin tone and radiance.
Omega-3 essential fatty acids are made up of two components: DHA (which stands for docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid). The best sources of DHA and EPA are fish, especially salmon, seaweed, shellfish, and algae.
However, if you don't like or can't eat seafood, you can get omega-3's in capsule form. Not every stomach can handle the capsules, so try them out for a couple weeks and see how you feel. It's an extremely convenient way to add omega-3's to your diet.
The most natural and most affordable capsules are the ones containing pure fish oil. You can take 2–3 of these during a meal and get almost the same benefits as eating fish as your main course. If you're allergic to or otherwise unable to eat fish, however, you're probably going to have to look for the pills or capsules containing the isolated omega-3's.
When purchasing isolated omega-3 pills, you may notice some products also contain the other two components of essential fatty acids: omega-6 and omega-9. Stick with the ones that contain only high amounts of omega-3's. Most people already get high amounts of these two fatty acids from their diet, and it's the lack of omega-3's that can cause many health problems.
Look for 1,000mg pills and take 3–9 per day with food depending on your current health status, budget, and dietary goals. Taking the pills during or immediately after a meal will not only reduce the risk of an upset stomach, but also improve the absorption of the omega-3's. If you're concerned or simply unsure about dosage or potential problems, consult with a physician or nutritionalist.
