HEART HEALTH AND FISH OILS
The Omega 3 fish oils are the hottest topic now in health and nutrition. They are also known as the Omega 3 Essential Fatty Acids (EFA's). They are critical for your good health and especially for your heart, but your body cannot make the EFA's. They must be added to your diet and taken regularly. They are so important to your heart health that the American Heart Association states that all Americans (adult and children) should supplement their diet daily with at least 1000mg of Omega 3's in the form of EDA and DHA. Many products tout a lot of Omega 3's, but the question is how much EPA and DHA do they have? The less expensive ones are noticeably lower.
When very soon you feel better, such as less aching in your joints, or improved mood, or improved heart function, you may be tempted to think that if a little is good, a lot would give quicker results. Do not go over 4,000mg a day. As you are aware, fish spoils quickly.
Even good oils can turn rancid in your body. To prevent this, you need to take, along with the Omega 3's, a good liquid anti-oxidant to prevent rancidity, because rancidity creates its own problems. Compliance has been a big problem with fish oils, especially when they are taken as an oil, because most people do not like the texture or the fishy taste. Even when the oil is in softgels, which are easier to take, if the oil is rancid inside you could be burping fish oil for several hours. People will not continue on with that. It is important to buy your EFA's from a good company that guarantees freshness, freedom from chemical contaminants, and no burping of fish. You should be able to chew a softgel in your mouth and get no fishy aftertaste. And it is available from good companies at about half of the price charged by the pharmaceutical companies for the same potency.
You will be amazed, when you make this health choice and keep taking the oil, at how much your health problems will improve, such as: inflammation of your joints, heart problems diminish, eye health improves, neurological problems improve, depression decreases, and your weight stabilizes. And you don't even have to take a drug!
