Omega 3 Supplements! Why Do We All Need Them? Check This Article Out!

Have you been hearing a lot lately about Omega Supplements? I know I have been hearing a lot. They were recommended to my pregnant wife by her doctor. After that she started to harp on me about taking these supplements. Initially I was confused. I read a little bit, but I still was not too sure about them. So I asked my Doctor, and this is what he told me.

Omega 3 fatty acids have come into main stream lately for a lot of reasons. They are part of a group called Essential Fatty Acids. They are essential for certain functions of the body, unfortunately the body doesn't manufacture omega Fatty Acids through your everyday diet. With insufficient levels, there are many things that can go wrong with your health. Complicating matters is the unfortunate reality that these Fatty Acids are really difficult to source in the modern every day diet. Fish, walnuts, hempseeds, krill and algae are real good sources. Do you eat these daily?
Beef can be a pretty good source as long as the beef cow was grass fed, which is exceedingly rare and expensive today, when it is readily available. Another problem is the prevalence of fish farming, where Omega 3 quality is questionable due to the feed the fish are given, which quite often does not reflect their natural diet. Because of the importance of Omega 3 Fatty Acid and their lack of presence in our daily diets, Omega 3 supplementation is a terrific strategy for getting the right amounts of these healthy fats.

The positive effect of Omega 3s in cardiovascular health is very well documented. Omegas help by lowering cholesterol and high blood pressure, thinning the blood and helping to keep anti-arrhythmic.

DHA, commonly found in Omega 3 Supplements, is quite often recommended to help women have healthier pregnancy. Babies are more likely to go the full term and have healthier weight, and normal brain development. Mothers may also be less likely to suffer from post-partum depression. Omega 3s produce an anti-inflammatory effect, as well. Many patients with back pain have been able to stop using ibuprofen or any other common pain medication as a result of supplementing with omegas daily.

Many Chiropractic Offices carry a type of Omega Supplement that has been put through an extra step to remove contaminants like mercury, dioxin and PCBs. This is critically important. It is so imperative this is done that many chiropractic centers actually recommend to skip a supplement rather than take one with impurities like the ones mentioned above.

A good way to start is to learn some more. I recommend that you schedule a consultative visit. Your Chiropractor will help you find a good way to bring these important nutrients into a wellness plan.

Hopefully, you are beginning to really understand more about the importance of these Vitamins. If you would like to learn more about Omega 3s, contact your Chirpractic Care Center.
