The Value of Omega Fatty Acids

by Christian Goodman

I grew up in Iceland where we would drink the pure fat from
fish liver.  It's called lysi and it was awful.  Today you
can get it in pill form.

I can't say as I understood just how what we ingest benefits
our bodies.  But once I grew up, I decided to find out.  I
was especially curious about the lysi.

Omega Fatty Acids are considered essential but
polyunsaturated.  So, the body needs them, but cannot
produce them.  We have to get them in the form of an
ingestable.

The best place to get this is in fish such as salmon, tuna
or sardines.  But, because of the mercury content and other
toxins,  this needs to be in limited quantities.  Two
servings per week at most.

Sunflower seeds, soybeans, olive oil and avacados also
contain omega fatty acids.  There are a number of foods that
have the fatty acids added to them in manufacturing such as
some cereals, orange juice and baby food.

Food is a great way to add omega fatty acids to your body.
You might want to consult with your nutritionist to verify
just how much is enough for you.

Supplements are another way to get the essential fatty acids
if your diet does not currently supply you with an adequate
amount.

Why do we want to do this anyway?  Studies have proven that
babies require this for proper development.

Research even shows that some heart related problems can be
reduced by regular intake of omega fatty acids.  Blood
pressure can also benefit from this.

Other health problems that can be positively affected by
omega fatty acids are depression, rheumatoid artiritis and
possibly even certain cancers.

While I always encourage a well balanced diet, if weight
loss is your goal, I strongly recommend my Weight Loss
Breeze Program.
