(Medical-NewsWire.com, July 05, 2013 ) Cincinnati, Ohio -- There are typically two responses When it comes to Omega 3 Fish Oil: "Yes, of course I take fish oil," or "No, What is fish oil?" People are pretty straight forward when it comes to taking an omega-3 supplement. They either love them or they have no idea what I'm talking about.
The issue is that people are still not sure about which omega 3s to take and what exactly the benefits are. Two of the most important omega-3 molecules in fish oil are EPA and DHA. These fatty acids clear out your cholesterol, and boost your brain power. but we are not getting enough in our daily diet. In fact, most of us are critically deficient of these fatty acids.
Health & Healing wants to reveal the top three myths to watch out for and a guide to help you understand the importance of Omega 3 Fish Oil in your daily diet.
Myth 1: I get enough omega-3 from fish.
There's no question, eating fish is healthy for you. Not only do you get valuable amounts of EPA and DHA in fish, but they are also an excellent source of protein, vitamin B-12 and iron. There are also trace amounts of iodine, calcium, phosphorus and vitamins A and D found in most fish.
However, the trouble is that fish can be contaminated with various toxins including metals like mercury and lead, industrial chemicals like PCBs, and even pesticides like DDT and dieldrin. Some fish are so contaminated that the federal government and environmental protection agencies recommend limited or no consumption of those fish. As an example, wild-caught Alaskan salmon is a relatively safe fish to eat, whereas farmed Atlantic salmon is one of the worst.
How can we balance our ratio of omega-3s with omega-6s if we can only eat two servings per week while getting 25 servings of omega-6s? Cutting back on omega-6s can help, but supplementing with omega-3s is crucial in maintaining better health and a more balanced metabolism.
Myth 2: Supplements such as fish oil don't do anything for you.
This is 100% false! For the past 30 years, research has only grown to include more and more reliable, well-respected studies on the benefits of supplementing with EPA and DHA. In fact, in 2004 the U.S. Food and Drug Administration gave "qualified health claim" status to EPA and DHA fatty acids. In short, EPA and DHA have been found to improve cardiovascular disease, decrease triglycerides, reduce inflammation, improve immune function, improve memory, increase eye health and much more.
Myth 3: Fish oil is only for people who are sick.
Again, this is false. They don't call omega-3s "essential fatty acids" for nothing. They are essential to every living thing on the planet that has a brain. They are not just required for superhuman health, but to keep us alive and generally well on a very basic level. Unfortunately, our bodies do not make them on their own. That means we need them in our diet. As short as 50 years ago, fish and wild-caught game were abundant. But now with the onslaught of processed foods and meats procured from animals that are now exclusively grain-fed (instead of grass-fed), there are virtually no omega-3s in our diet. According to some experts, we only eat 23 milligrams of omega-3 fatty acids per day. That's way below the recommended 950 milligrams of omega-3s necessary for our survival. It's no wonder that heart disease, stroke, diabetes and other kinds of brain disorders are astronomically high. Without omega-3s people become sick!
