Let me start by telling you about lysi. In Iceland where I grew up, this is what I had to drink. It is the fat from the liver of fish. Fortunately, today it is not necessary to drink this to get the benefit.

As a child, all I really understood is that this horrible drink was somehow healthy for me. As an adult, I now care about validating these types of things. So, I chose to research the value of the fish fat.

Our bodies require certain vitamins and nutrients. Our bodies are not capable of creating many of them so we have to ingest them. Omega Fatty Acids is one of these essential polyunsaturated fatty acids.

Fish can supply the omega fatty acids (tuna, herring, salmon). Two servings per week though is the suggested limit as they also contain mercury.

Other foods containing the omega fatty acids are soybeans, walnuts and flaxseed. Some things like cereals, orange juice and baby food are even manufactured with the fatty acids now.

Food intake of omega fatty acids is best. However, you probably want to talk to your nutritionist as it can be touch to determine just how much is enough. 3 grams weekly is normally recommended.

If your diet isn’t providing you with a sufficient amount of fatty acids, supplements can be taken. You will want to research the brand of course as they are not regulated.

Why do we want to do this anyway? Studies have proven that babies require this for proper development.

Research even shows that some heart related problems can be reduced by regular intake of omega fatty acids. Blood pressure can also benefit from this.

Rheumatoid arthritis, depression and anxiety disorders are problems that can be assisted with omega fatty acids.

While I always encourage a well balanced diet, if weight loss is your goal, I strongly recommend my Weight Loss Breeze Program.
