Nothing Fishy about Fish Oil

If their is any supplement that I would recommend for the healthy or unhealthy, it would me omega 3 fish oil. Fish oil, "how disgusting some will say", but this may be the most powerful supplement needed to fight disease or to prevent it all together.

The components of fish oil DHA, EPA are substances that the body does not produce on its own. So we need to get them from our diet. We all get Omega 6's in our diets from vegetable oils which are found in cakes, cookies and the majority of processed foods we eat. Omega 6's are bad for us because they increase inflammation. Inflammation is the root all all diseases such as cancer, heart disease, autoimmune disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and much, much more.

Why are omega 3's different? Well they have the opposite effect in the body. DHA, EPA (Omega 3's), are potent anti-inflammatorys, and they also block the production of eicosinoids, which are themselves inflammatory substances. A well know eicosinoid is prostagladin. Whether familier or not, we all take things like advil, naproxen, pamprin to block these substances. NSAIDS work, but they have terrible side effects such as gastritis, stomach ulcers, kidney failure and a whole host of other detrimental effects.

So how much fish oil would I recommend. I personally take 5000mg of fish oil. To figure this out I get my bottle of fish oil and add up the EPA and DHA, and take the amount needed to equal 5000. If your already have established disease, chronic, debilitating disease, you may want to start with 7500 mg of fish oil. I use the liquid because in order to get 5000 mg I would need a tremendous amount of capsules.

There are many good fish oils out there. I recommend nordic naturals, carlson, cor-omega, or Pharm-omega. Great products which are third party tested.

If you have great interest in learning more about fish oil, a great book I recommend is the "Anti-inflammation Zone" written by Barry Sears. The author of the Zone diet.

Once you start using this supplement you will notice great changes in about 4 weeks. Less pain, greater energy, clearer thinking and above all you may see remission in some of the diseases you are afflicted with

Good fishing everyone!!!!
