Omega-3 fatty acids as found in fish oil have been found recently in studies to assist people with weight loss by helping them to satisfy hunger cravings and maintain healthy blood pressure. Now an Australian study just published in the British Journal of Nutrition has revealed a possible link between intake of omega-3s and how much you weigh. itself.
Researchers found:
That among 124 adult subjects, those with higher plasma levels of omega-3 fatty acids had a “healthier BMI, waist circumference and hip circumference.”
That obese people had much lower levels of omega-3 fatty acids than other individuals of a more healthier weight.
The findings have led to theories that omega-3 fatty acids may have an effect on the body that leads to increased natural fat burning.*
Apart from weight loss, satiety and blood pressure benefits, the majority of studies on fish oil have been on its effects on heart health.
One of the most effective ways to take advantage of omega-3 benefits is through regular supplementation with a quality fish oil supplement.*
So, why not just eat a lot of fish? The reason is that eating fish regularly can potentially expose a person to chemicals found in the ocean, lakes, rivers and streams. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and American Heart Association, many fish contain high levels of heavy metals, PCBs and dioxins. A quality fish oil supplement that has been purified would not contain any presence of these potential toxins.
So, what about plant omega-3s? Plant sources of omega-3 fatty acids such as alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) are still good for the body. But fish omega-3 fatty acids, namely docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), have been found to be most effective in producing benefits for a healthy heart.*
Research in this area has been so compelling that the American Heart Association has recommended eating a variety of fish twice a week, that patients with heart disease consume 1 gram of EPA and DHA daily and that patients who need to lower triglycerides take 2 to 4 grams of EPA daily.*
A quality supplement would have a high concentration of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids. It should also be third-party tested to guarantee purity.
