Fish Oil and Algae

fish oil and algae



Question:

Fish oils contain the omega 3s EPA and DHA correct? Well, don't the fish have to eat the algae to get that EPA and DHA...Why not skip the middle man and just supplement algae?Is it not as effective? is there some process in the fish that concentrates these?


"fish oil is the most efficient and
healthiest way to take your omega 3"


Also, doesn't the body create the EPA and DHA from ALA... could that be supplemented instead of the fish oil or algae? By Robert

Answer:

Omega 3 are called ESSENTIAL FATS for one reason: if you donīt get them you get sick. Many degenerative diseases and accelerated aging come from a low omega 3 diet, or from an unbalance omega 6/omega 3 ratio diet.

I guess you can get your omega 3 from algae or from a number of other vegetable sources but it is not an efficient conversion. Only about 10% gets into EPA and DHA, when you are lucky to have the enzymes to digest them(Most people are not able).

There are other sources. For example, free range cattle have similar or higher omega 3 content than fish. It is a very healthy food but when you feed them grains you produce ill cattle and humans.If you want to know more about grass fed or free range cattle and meats, rich in omega 3, you may want to read this information

Itīs important to understand that primitive or Paleolithic man never suffered the disorders we have in modern society. We evolved for millions of years, eating a diet rich in raw meat, saturated fats and a few carbohydrates (there was no agriculture, just fruits, some vegetables and few whole grains, fire was not used).

All that toppled by lots of exercise while chasing those foods. Our organism is formed and made for that diet. It is our natural diet and the closer we stay to it the healthier weīll be. No matter what any low cholesterol oil manufacturer, modern medical organization or scientist say.

All that primitive food was full of omega 3 and the necessary omega 6 to have a perfect balance in their ratio. For more on this see my page on essential fatty acids . If you balance your omega 6 to omega 3 ratios by reducing your omega 6 and increasing the omega 3, you may get better results in your weight loss program.
