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
Substitutes for Butter
Instead of Butter: Use top quality, cold pressed, extra virgin olive oil, from the first pressing, or flaxseed oil.
The taste of virgin olive oil is appealing to millions of people around the world, so why not adopt it to your taste?
Flaxseed oil is prized for health reasons and not for its taste. You can always compensate for that by adding spices to the appropriate dish.
Let’s say you want to add a little flaxseed oil to mashed potatoes, instead of butter. You could add basil, oregano, rosemary, curry, garlic, or any other spice that agrees with your palate.
You can use a little virgin olive oil on mashed potatoes with basil and roasted garlic, but it’s up to the individual’s own taste. At home, we use a little olive oil on toast, instead of butter. Again, you could spice it, but try to avoid salting.
Depending on whose study you read, flaxseed oil contains Omega-3, Omega-6, and Omega-9 Oils.
Olive oil has some Omega-6 value, but it tastes great. Read more
