Fish Oil Might Be The Greatest Thing EVER!!

Fish Oil is one of the most consumed supplements on the market and for a good reason. These Oils are extracted from the tissues of fish and usually made into a liquid or pill consumable form. The good kind of fish oils (Omega 3's Only) are the good fish oils to be supplementing your diet with and in our next post, we will explain why! With heart disease being the main cause of death around the world, we could benefit from such a simple fix. Because fish oils contain EPA (anticoagulants and antiplatelets) it is by nature a blood thinner. This might increase the bleeding time if you happen to get cut but it's not as scary as it sounds, there is a great benefit to this. It actually increases your (HDL) or good cholesterol. HDL picks up excess cholesterol in your blood and takes it back to your liver where it's broken down and removed from your body. This, in turn, is a huge factor in reducing the risk of heart disease (ie. Heart attacks and strokes). Lots of studies show that Fish Oil has a tendency when consumed to lower triglyceride levels within your body. Its good to have some triglycerides to be used as energy but if you tend to have too many this can increase your risk of heart disease. Another great perk is the contribution to your mental health. Since your brain is mainly made up of fats, Omega 3's lend quite the hand. Some studies suggest that people with mental disorders have low levels of omega 3 fatty acids so supplementing these can drastically improve symptoms and signs. The last point we will mention is fish oil and its contribution to aiding in weight loss. Omega 3's paired with a good diet can result in weight loss by reducing risk and diseases like diabetes and allowing your body to utilize good fats and minimize the store of bad fats. Long story short, lots of studies are continuing to be done on this phenomenal fat. Cop some fish oil, it is well worth the investment and incredibly easy to find and consume!
