I grew up in Iceland where we would drink the pure fat from fish liver. It's called lysi and it was awful. Today you can get it in pill form.
I can't say as I understood just how what we ingest benefits our bodies. But once I grew up, I decided to find out. I was especially curious about the lysi.
Omega Fatty Acids are considered essential but polyunsaturated. So, the body needs them, but cannot produce them. We have to get them in the form of an ingestable.
Fish can supply the omega fatty acids (tuna, herring, salmon). Two servings per week though is the suggested limit as they also contain mercury.
Flaxseed, walnuts, soybean or their oils also contain omega fatty acids. In fact, certain foods like margarine, baby formula and orange juice are now manufactured by adding the fatty acids into them.
Getting omega fatty acids through food is considered the best way to get it. You may however want to consult with your doctor or nutritionist to verify just how much you need.
For those whose diets do not provide an adequate amount of the omega fatty acids, supplements may be a good alternative.
Why do we want to do this anyway? Studies have proven that babies require this for proper development.
Studies have shown that omega fatty acids can reduce the progression of cardiovascular problems.
Recent research even shows possible possible benefits for cancer treatments, specifically, breast cancer, prostate and colon cancer
A nutritious diet is always recommended. But another all natural weight loss program is my Weight Loss Breeze Program.
