I am excited to share information with you about some of the amazing benefits of taking Fish Oils, and impress upon you many reasons to add this healthful supplement to your daily diet.
Many Healthy Benefits of Fish Oils
Fish Oils contain Omega-3 fatty acids, which are DHA and EPA.
The most important reason overall to take these little fishy gems is that they support the reduction of inflammation in the body. Long term inflammation is the root cause of most chronic illnesses. The short term effects are great in number and the long term benefits are most impressive as well.
Here are 5 astonishing ways ingesting Fish Oils can support your current health and your future strength and longevity.
1. Reduce Inflammation
Both DHA and EPA are known to reduce inflammation in the body through supporting cellular activity to clear out metabolic waste in your body’s cells. Studies show that if you have joint pain of any kind, you can cut the inflammatory process by taking Fish Oil daily.
2. Improve Bone Health
Omega-3 fatty acids prevent osteoporosis by strengthening mineral bone density.
3. Strengthens and Protects Your Vision
DHA makes up 60% of all the polyunsaturated fatty acids in the retina. The retina is a light- sensitive layer of tissue, lining the inner surface of the eye. For eye and vision support, daily ingestion of DHA will help to maintain eye and vision strength and integrity. DHA protects people from age-related vision loss, such as Macular Degeneration.
4. Protects the Heart
Protects the heart from mental stress, and strengthens cardiovascular health along with improving blood flow. Omega 3’s are incorporated into cell membranes (such as heart cells) and a support critical role in keeping cell membranes flexible.
5. Benefits Memory and Strengthens the Brain
Within our brain’s, neurons or nerve cells are electrically excitable cells that process and transmit information through electrical and chemical signals. Neurons are the core components of the nervous system which includes the brain and spinal cord.
Half of the neuron’s plasma membrane weight is composed of DHA. DHA is a constituent of nerve cells in the brain and is thought to play an important role and normal brain and development and function.
Taking regular daily doses of Fish Oils will help to improve your long term life longevity, keep you stronger and help you age more gracefully.
WHICH KINDS ARE THE BEST YOU ASK?
Not all fish oils are created equally. You’ll want to purchase Fish Oils which contain high levels of DHA and EPA combined, this being 700-1000mg. These are the best and most effective. So if you are going to purchase healthful supplements, consider buying a high quality brand from a health food store with at least 700 mg of DHA and EPA. I also carry these supplements for sale in my practice.
