What Is The Benefit Of Omega 3's?
Dear Justine: I’ve heard that it’s important to take fish oil and omega 3’s, but I have no idea why. What do they do?
Fishy in FresnoDear Fishy,
Fish oil and omega 3’s are ESSENTIAL to every bodily function! They are an anti-inflammatory, so anyone who has joint pain or arthritis should take fish oil every day. Also, those that have depression or anxiety issues should as well. Fish oil is great for the brain, skin, hair and nails and is a “healthy fat”. Most disease is caused by inflammation in the body, so they are extremely important! When buying fish oil, make sure the label says “Pharmaceutical Grade and Molecularly Distilled. No PCB’s, heavy metals, or pesticides.” Nordic Naturals makes a great product and so does Isagenix. Take at least 1000mg/day. Or, you can eat a lot of Wild Alaskan Salmon! It’s the best kind of fish with no mercury in it!
