As an SFH advocate, you are more than likely aware of the major
benefits of Omega-3's: Reduced inflammation, triglyceride
levels and risk of heart disease and improved
blood flow and brain function.
Listed below are a few of the relatively unknown benefits of
Omega-3's:
* Increased Protein Synthesis & Fat Loss
* Decreased Protein Breakdown
* Improved Insulin Sensitivity
* Improved Nutrient Delivery to Cells
* Increased Metabolic Rate
* Increased Immune System Function
Here are a few quick facts and tips regarding
fish oil:
Dosage: In studies related to muscle growth and fat loss and reduced
inflammation, participants took 3-4 grams of EPA/ DHA per day. That is 3-4g of
EPA/ DHA, not total Fish Oil. The actual Omega-3 content in most pills is
20%-60% and required 6-10 pills to reach a therapeutic dosage (3-4 grams). SFH
Fish oil has over 3.1 grams per teaspoon with the option for 1,000 IU of added Vitamin D3.
Essential vs. Non-Essential: Omega-3 and -6
are both essential fatty acids, meaning that they are not produced by the body
and must be obtained through food/ supplements. Omega-6 does not need to be
supplemented due to the abundance found in today's diet. Omega-9 is a
non-essential fatty acid and is produced by our bodies.
Sources: There are very few Omega-3
sources, the best being wild-caught, cold water fish like anchovy, sardines,
herring and mackerel. Flax chia, hemp and echium are not viable
sources as they are primarily ALA. Only a very small percentage of ALA is
converted to EPA/DHA.
