Omega-3 Fatty Acid - Omega 3 Supplements And Weight

Question:

Omega-3 Fatty Acid. I have been taking omega 3 food supplements for the past 3 weeks, I have noticed that I am adding weight and people are complaining too. It contains fatty acid. What is the function of fatty acids.? By Erniebassey

Answer:

Omega-3 Fatty Acid. Mainly, omega 3 affects every cell of our body changing its fat balance. This has great impact in the whole body, producing results in the following areas:

• Reducing inflammation in every cell
• Optimizing brain function and operation (DHA is highly present in the nervous system)
• Abnormal cell proliferation control ( read cancer)
• Blood clotting control
• Blood fats control
• Improved immune system operation

It may be relevant to keep in mind that omega 3 is not a fad or fashion, these are ESSENTIAL fatty acids that the body needs to operate at its full capacity. They make up all our cells and tissues, can not be produced by the body, have to be eaten, otherwise we get sick.

Some of the fat you eat becomes part of your cell membranes, and plays an important role in the way those cells behave. Your body is essentially a collection of billions of tiny cells. And the health of your cells will reflect the health of your body.

Fish is a special food because it contains two long-chain omega-3 fatty acids — eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Fish don't actually produce EPA and DHA. Rather, they're synthesized by single-celled marine organisms that fish eat.

Each fish oil capsule has about 10 calories, very few. Take in considereation that a person eats between 2.000 to 3.000 calories per day. Even if you take 10 caps per day you are adding less calories than with a piece of bread.

The omega 3 food supplements you take does NOT cause you to gain weight. In fact, it could even help you lose weight. If you are adding weight then it has to do with your diet or exercise. It is not the omega 3.

Essential fatty acids are very important for the heart, in fact crucial for the heart, bones, and especially important for the brain. It may help to fight depression. You can read Fish Oil Benefits

Omega 3 deficiency would produce poor memory, poor mental ability, bad vision, more likely to have blood clots, poor immune function, increased bad cholesterol levels, high blood pressure, learning disorders, etc.

One Essential nutrient may be completely missing from our diets today, omega 3 fats. Omega 3 fats are essential for our hearts, minds and entire body. In fact, every cell of our organism needs omega 3 to work at its prime.

For the last 30 years, hundreds of clinical studies have documented the benefits of omega 3 fish oil. Even the conservative American Heart Association (AHA) recommends it for people with risks of cardiovascular disease.

The situation is that it is difficult to get the proper amounts of fish oil without risking dangerous contamination, if you want to take it from your diet.

As an answer to that need, we offer molecularly distilled fish oil that comes from deep water fish, Hoki, a deep sea fish naturally high in DHA and unique to New Zealand. The oil is refined through extensive molecular distillation processes to remove any form of contamination. Click here to learn more .
