Omega 3 Fatty Acids
This is an insight as to why Omega 3 fatty acids are so very importantto your fitness success, overall health and fat loss efforts.
First of all there are a number of forms of fat that are found in thehuman body. Most people will have heard of cholesterol, often associatedwith heart disease and unhealthy diets. The fats that we are interestedin are triglycerides. These are absolutely vital. They are used by thebody to make cell membranes and many other important structures withincellular tissue.
Fatty acids are either saturated or unsaturated. Unsaturated fatty acidsare referred to as polyunsaturated or monounsaturated fats. Omega 3fatty acids are polyunsaturated and are found in abundance in fish oils.They have profound health benefits and are quite often one of the lastsupplements people consider taking - in reality Omega 3's should be atthe top of your list.
Omega 3 fatty acids have been shown to reduce serum levels ofcholesterol (important for cardiovascular health). They may also reducethe risk of one type of stroke. These benefits are often seen in peoplewho consume a diet high in fish oils. Eskimos, for example, have a verylow rate of heart disease. Athletes can benefit more so from theconsumption of Omega 3's - it appears as if aerobic exercise improvesOmega 3's ability to benefit cholesterol levels even further. It's alsobeen found that Omega 3's can both enhance fat burning and actuallydecrease fat storage.
We're also seeing evidence to support Omega 3's increasing performanceand strength levels in athletes. Studies are also showing thepossibility of Omega 3's decreasing catabolism (muscle breakdown) andincrease growth hormone levels.
By decreasing inflammation, Omega 3's can also reduce the pain ofrheumatoid arthritis, although it appears to be most useful in the earlystages of the disease and it is not clear if it affects the progressionof the disease itself. Omega-3's may also reduce the pain associatedwith menstrual cramps.
Sometimes it is hard to fathom the lack of importance many peopleassociate with Omega 3's, armed with just this small amount of youshould see the vital importance of including Omega 3's in your diet, buteven more so when you consider a month supply costs only £9.99.
