Fuel for the brain that you didn’t know about ?
How you can act in autoimmune disease treatment by yourself ?
The introduction of supplements in the form of Omega-3 fatty acids from fish, vitamin D3 (with blood levels below 50 ng/ml) and magnesium will also be a beneficial and safe help. Adequate stress- management (relaxation and breathing exercises) and sleep, which cleans the brain, is crucial.
Fat isn’t something many people are trying to eat more of. But there is one kind of fat that everyone needs to eat more frequently – omega-3 fats. Best known for heart and brain health, omega-3s do lots of great things for your body, like keeping your immune system strong and supporting visual, hormonal and reproductive health. As many of us know, how we look on the outside affects how we perform on the inside.
Omega-3s are powerful family of polyunsaturated fats, mainly in the form of:
- alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) – from plant food like chia, walnuts, soybeans
- docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) – they’re only found in fish, shellfish and marine algae.
- eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) – they’re only found in fish, shellfish and marine algae.
Anyway, did you know that Krill oil (DHA,EPA) contains an antioxidant that may support eye health?
There are plenty of benefits to supply Omega 3s, such as:
- may reduce heart attack risk
- improve your brain function
- protect you against depression
- can support your vision (dry eye disease , AMD)
- healthy pregnancy (may reduce a woman’s risk of preterm labor and delivering a low-birthweight baby)
- improve infant health and development (some studies show that taking these supplements may slightly increase a baby’s weight at birth and the length of time the baby is in the womb, both of which may be beneficial. Breast milk contains DHA. Most commercial infant formulas also contain DHA)
- cancer prevention
- prevent Alzheimer’s disease, dementia and cognitive function
That’s huge ! Isn’t it ?
DOSAGE
According to the Food and Drug Administration, taking up to 5,000 mg daily is safe.
A standard 1000 mg fish oil softgel provides around 300 mg of Omega-3s, and to meet the 500 mg EPA and DHA recommendation, a minimum of two softgels would be necessary.
An average medium egg provides about 70mg of omega-3 fatty acid.
Calculate well your dosage, based on knowledge of your helath, demand, deficiencies in your diet.
As a general rule, if you experience any negative symptoms, simply decrease your intake or consider meeting your omega-3 fatty acid needs through food sources instead. Visit the specialist which may provide you balanced diet and supplementation.
To summary … for those who are afraid of FATS :p
Omega-3 fish oils can help increase muscle mass and lose fat even at constant weight!
Did it convince you now ? 😉
