Question

Fish Oil Capsules. My science teacher recommended we take fish oil tablets before our end of year exams so we remember what we studied. Is this true? I know taking them wouldn’t hurt either way. By DirTh

Answer:

Fish Oil Capsules. Your teacher may be right and wrong…. He is right when he implies that omega 3 is good for your brain cells because they interconnect each other with omega 3 fats. If you follow a low omega 3 fat diet, those connections are weak or faulty and you may have more difficulty learning and remembering things. The brain is mostly fat and out of that fat almost 60% is omega 3 fats.

Fats make up to 60% of our brains. Like protein makes our muscles and calcium our bones, fats make our brain. But not any fat. We need a special fat, DHA( one of the omega 3 fatty acids), that’s is the major component of our brain. I repeat, DHA is the major component of our brain tissue.

That said, is very simple to understand why if we don’t supply our body with enough omega 3 there is going to be some unbalance in our brain chemistry. Therefore, in our brain function.

In that case, Omega 3 deficiency , instead of DHA our body uses whatever fats are available to work with: Omega 6 and Trans Fatty Acids.

If you don't have much DHA in your blood, man-made trans-fat molecules may be used as the brain construction material, instead. But trans-fats (hydrogenated oils) are shaped differently than DHA: they are straight while DHA is curved.

If you repeat the scenario every day, you may end with depression, failing memory, bad moods. Do this to developing brains and you have children having difficulties learning, behavior problems in class. Their neurons have faulty connections with no omega 3 but Trans fats.

fish oil capsules benefits Now, he is wrong when he says that you should take omega 3 before the end of the year. We should take omega 3 everyday for many reasons, one for your brain, but omega 3 is an essential fat for our total health, we need it in every cell of our body.

The reason to supplement with omega 3 is that modern nutrition has 20 to 50 times

less omega 3 that what we need in order to keep us healthy. Basically all process food is full of pro inflammatory omega 6(all grains, carbohydrates, sugars, sodas, etc). We should take 3.000 mg of fish oil everyday (equivalent to 900 mg of omega 3 fats) if we are at our ideal weight and have no degenerative disease like high blood pressure or diabetes. Otherwise, read about Omega 3 Dosage My Best to you,
