Omega3 Dosage and How To Get It Right
The lack of any official guidelines makes it difficult to find the right omega3 dosage, so here are some tips to ensure you get the very best. The correct dosage is dependent on the purity and quality of your chosen supplement.
Being the most important supplement on the market as well as the most popular, there are many poor products out there, and only a few that stand head and shoulders above the rest to give you the best omega3 dosage.
In fact many contain little omega3 at all so it is important to check out the website or label very carefully. The two main omega3 fatty acids we want are DHA and EPA. DHA is by far the most important and responsible for most of the amazing health benefits.
They include prevention of heart attacks and strokes, effective treatment of arthritis, prevention of breast and colon cancer and lowering of high blood pressure or hypertension. Taking a quality oil will give you these and many more benefits, but most won’t and may even contain harmful toxins from the fish. Read more
Stay Healthy – Eat Seafood!
Seafood is extremely nutritional and contains high levels of protein and fish oils, primarily omega-3 which is an essential fat required as part of a good balanced diet.
Different types of seafood obviously contain the essential oils, vitamins and minerals in differing amounts but it is recommended to include one variety or another in our diet to keep healthy.
Preparation and cooking of seafood can deter us from trying some of the more unusual fresh varieties but there are plenty of cooking shows, books and websites
to help. Your fishmonger can also offer advice and will be glad to take care of the gutting of any fish that you require. You may be pleasantly surprised how easy cooking it really can be. Seafood can be cooked by almost any method you can imagine. The simplest and most healthy option is steaming or broiling but you can also be as creative and as complicated as you want to be.
Seafood has become more and more popular and is more widely available thanks to improved transportation and refrigeration techniques but we are often nervous about preparing it ourselves and rely on readymade meals or eating seafood in restaurants. Read more
Type of Healthiest Meat You Can Eat
I’m sure you have heard all of the news over the last couple of years about the health benefits of wild salmon and other fatty fish that contain high levels of omega-3 fatty acids.
However, I bet you didn’t know that there is a “land meat” that has similar omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acid ratios as is found in wild salmon and other fatty fish. I have talked about this type of meat before and how it is one of the healthiest types of meat that you can possibly eat. What I’m referring to is grass-fed beef and other grass-fed ruminant animal meats such as bison, buffalo, lamb, and venison. Read more
