Do you know what's tasty? Fish. (if you don't know just ask your kats). Do you know what's good for you? Fish Oil - I love serendipity, (didn't think I knew what serendipity means? Shame on you).
Fish Oil supports a healthy cardiovascular system and joint health as well as favorable moods (which everyone likes). Fish Oil is pretty remarkable stuff. What's makes it so benefitical?
Fish Oil is abundantly rich in Omega-3fatty acids which, as my loyal readers will remember, are packed with a huge amount of "good for humans" essentials (it's good for kats too -- just putting that out there; more tuna, please). But let's get to the heart, and I do mean the heart, of this remarkable supplement.
According to the American Heart Association, the consumption of fish and lipids is "very important" for your body's circulation. Damage to the human circulatory system can be caused by many factors. Poor diet is a large factor of circulatory problems, as are free radicals (I hate those), smoking, and heavy alcohol intake. Fish Oil, on the other hand, and the terrific Omega-3fatty acids it contains, helps to keep your cardiovascular system healthy and functioning properly.
Fish Oil is also beneficial for your joints. Let's say you've exercised vigorously. A long run or an extended pilates class, perhaps. You're feeling mentally rewarded, but those knees, OUCH! Well, did you know that Omega-3 fatty acids help to keep your joints "lubed" and therefore less susceptible to the wear and tear of life? How, you ask? The Omega-3 fatty acids inFish Oil support the needed "gel-like" substance that cushion your joints (like knees, wrists, shoulders, fingers, etc.).
Omega-3s are essential fatty acids to human health, which means your bodies don't produce them on its own. That's why it's vital to consume this essential fatty acids in a variety of ways. For example, studies suggest that you should eat fish twice a week; preferably fatty fish, like salmon, tuna, lake trout or mackerel (hazzah for fish!). Other natural dietary sources ofOmega 3s include flaxseed, black raspberries, hazel nuts, and chia seeds. So, if all of this hasn't convinced you of the value of Omega 3s, here's additional fact about the importance that may get your attention -- these essential fatty acids are also necessary for cognitive function, like memory and behavioral function. A deficiency in Omega-3 fatty acids can lead to fatigue, mood swings, and dry skin.
And, if you weren't already aware, there is Fish Oil available has been deodorized and molecular distilled to remove heavy metals. Well, all this typing and research on Fish Oil has made me ravenous. I believe my tall female human in is the kitchen. I'm going to go see if I can talk her into giving me some tuna to help reboot my Omega-3 fatty acid supply.
