Fish Oil
There is no doubt that fish and fish oil is very good for you. Your grandmother probably told you that eating fish is good for your brain. People used to give children cod liver oil or another type of fish oil supplement daily. Well, she was on to something. Fish that are rich in Omega 3 fatty acids are very healthy to eat, and are one of the most important supplements you can take.
Fish oil that is rich in Omega 3 has many positive benefits. Medical doctors recommend eatng foods rich in Omega 3 as being essential to good health.
Omega 3′s are especially good for brain health, and mental and heart health as well . Taking fish oil supplements has been proven to lower the risk of Alzheimer’s, ADHD, depression, and many other mental health disorders. A sufficient amount of these essential oils help to balance triglycerides in the blood that can lead to high blood pressure and cholesterol and even heart disease.
Wild Salmon oil is a very good source of Omega 3, and the DHA and EPA levels are very good in it as well. Hoki is yet another fish that is a very good choice, as are tuna, mackerel and sardines. For the most part, cold water fish are the best option.
You may be wondering why you need to take fish oil supplements rather than just consuming a lot of fish. One reason is that you would need to eat a great amount of these fatty fishes to get enough Omega 3 to be be of any benefit. This would cost a lot of money when compared to the cost of supplements.
The other concern is that most fish today contain small amounts of pollutants and contaminants. Eating a lot of fish could even put you at risk of mercury poisoning. Fish oil capsules, pills and liquid fish oil are filtered so they don’t contain any harmful chemicals or metals.
