Omega-3 Fatty Acid
Today ,I want to talk to you about the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3s are crucial for your health. In fact, I would say around 95% aren't getting enough omega-3 fats in their diet.
Many of you have probably heard of something called an anti-inflammatory diet, which typically goes with things like the Mediterranean diet today. But inflammation is a major cause or the main cause of all disease today.
In fact, anything that says "itis" at the end, I-T-I-S, in Latin that means inflammation. So arthritis, that's inflammation of your joints. Ulcerative
colitis, that's inflammation of your colon.
In fact, heart disease today, it's not caused from high cholesterol. Why does the cholesterol lie down in the first place?
Well, there is inflammation in your arteries. So if you want to heal from any chronic health condition,
you've got to reduce inflammation in your body, and the best way to do that is to get more omega-3 fats in your diet.
You've reallygot to start with food there. You want to start consuming grass-fed animal products, like grass-fed beef and bison. That's a great place to start. When you're buying
eggs, you can buy free range eggs or omega-3 eggs. That's another good place to start.
And then of course, wild caught fish, like wild salmon and mackerel, even sardines. Doing wild caught salmon two to three days a week is a great way to boost your omega-3s.
Also consuming super seeds, like chia seeds and flax seeds are packed with omega-3 fatty acids.
And last but not least, the majority of people today should be taking a quality omega-3 supplement in the form of fish oil or cod liver oil.
Fish oil, you want to buy a better brand, something that's well-protected so it doesn't oxidize.
But fish oil, a thousand milligrams a day is your key to balancing out those omega-3 levels.
So the benefits of the omega-3s, reducing inflammation, helping reverse heart disease, reducing your risk of cancer, helping with athletic performance and recovery, weight
loss, improved brain function.
The list could go on and on and on, especially even for things
like brain for mood and depression and things along those lines.
But again, you need to get more omega-3 fats in your diet if you want to reach your optimal level of health.
