6 Reasons You Should be Taking Omega 3 Supplements
By Bruce Howe
Omega supplements aren’t just for the overly health conscious, they are for everyone. In a world where none of us are easily getting the nutritional balance we need, supplements can literally be a lifesaver.
We’ve spoken about inflammation and some of the ways it could be affecting you, and this week we want to share the power of: Ωomega with you. Your body cannot manufacture its own omega-3 fatty acids. You need to learn how to incorporate them into your daily life, in order to reap the benefits. Not sure why your body needs omega-3 fatty acids? Read on.
Here are six ways omega supplements can transform your life
Improves Fat Metabolism
Most people know that when they see salmon on a restaurant menu next to steak or casserole, for example,, the healthy option would be the salmon- but why is that? Salmon is rich in omegas, meaning it’s a powerful anti-inflammatory food choice that can aid in weight balance, among other health benefits. Countless studies indicate the powerful effects of omegas in the human body. Recently, researchers from Kyoto University in Japan discovered fish oil transforms fat-storage cells into fat-burning cells in mice. In their study, fish oil supplements stimulated receptors in the digestive tract, activated the sympathetic nervous system (responsible for fight or flight responses), and prompted storage cells to metabolize fat in mice; the ones who ate food with fish oil gained 5-10 percent less weight and 15-25 percent less fat than the control mice. The researchers believe in humans, fish oil supplements might help reduce weight gain later on in life.
Improves Moderate To Severe Acne ~ Many people don’t realize that acne is a sign of inflammation and can be treated from the inside out with anti-inflammatories, like omega supplements. Internal and external skincare is highly popular these days as it’s becoming common knowledge that one can not effectively treat the skin solely on the dermal level.
In a 2012 study from California State Polytechnic University, Pomona evidence was found that “fish oil can improve the severity of acne. Participants supplemented their normal acne-fighting regimen and typical diets with 3 grams of fish oil per day. After 12 weeks, the acne symptoms had greatly improved for 60 percent of the volunteers.”
Boost Eye Health
There are many studies that have concluded macular degeneration and dry eye syndrome can be avoided or slowed down by high internal levels of omega-3 fatty acids. Likewise, essential fatty acids also help the proper drainage of the intraocular fluid from the eye, decreasing the risk of high eye pressure and glaucoma. The eyes, like all other body parts, naturally deteriorate over time as we age, but we now have the tools and information to slow the process down using diet and supplements.
Reduces Disease-Causing Inflammation ~ A study from the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology found the omega-3 fatty acid DHA in fish oil enhances B cell activity (a white blood cell), believed to prevent disease by reducing inflammation.
Inflammation can seriously impact your body and its ability to function. What’s wonderful about omega-3 fatty acids is that they treat all forms of inflammation in some way, shape or form. Eating an anti-inflammatory diet and adding omega supplements is like getting on an escalator when you’ve been climbing the stairs towards a healthier life, it takes you to where you need to be faster.
Reduces the Impact of Air Pollution ~ Air pollution around the world is a rising factor impossible to ignore, and its effects on the human body are even more immediately alarming. Being linked to heart and lung disease, poor air quality can be a man-made killer that we need to fight against. The use of omegas internally to fight off damage from pollution has been studied more in recent years as we continue to search for sustainable solutions that can be implemented now (improving the air pollution crisis will take more time).
In a 2012 study, researchers gave 29 middle-aged adults three grams of fish oil or olive oil every day for four weeks. Then they exposed them to two consecutive hours of unclean air, after which their cardiac responses were measured. The participants who were given fish oil didn’t experience as negative an effect to their white blood cell activity. The fish oil protected the participants against the harmful cardiac effects associated with air pollution exposure.
Boosts Memory ~ According to research published in the journal PLoS ONE, eighteen- to 25-year-olds who consumed fish oil pills every day for six months boosted their working memory by 23 percent. Imagine what a lifetime of taking these supplements could do for you by the time you hit eighty?
A sharper memory means a sharper mind, and a sharper mind means a more successful life.
