Fish oil supplements have benefits to other parts of your body, yes, but they also do a lot of great work on your mind. For people who suffer from severe depression, taking a fish oil supplement can help to decrease mood swings. As you probably know, many anti-depressant drugs have various ways to put more seratonin in our bodies. People with an inability to move seratonin through their systems are more likely to be subject to intense mood swings. Omega-3 acids help saratonin spread throughout the body much faster to keep depression and other mood-related diseases at-bay.
If you're someone who cares about your appearance, fish oil can help. Omega-3s are great for thickening hair and making sure it is big, poofy and beautiful by making sure it doesn't dry out. Eczema, or excessively dry skin, is also combatted by these amazing fatty acids. And if you've been taking Proactive forever, you might be able to stop because Omega-3s help to rid the body of acne.
And do you suffer from allergies? That's an obvious question, I was hanging with one of my friends the other day who couldn't drive with the windows open because his eyes itched so bad. Omega-3 fatty acids are great for downplaying the crazy allergies some people get because Omega-3s actually act as a natural antihistamine.
Fish oil supplements are also helpful in decreasing inflamation almost everywhere in your body.
For unborn babies and pregant women, fish oil supplements can have amazing benefits. Studies have shown that fish oil supplements can improve brain functionality (increasing SAT scores before the baby is even born) as well as eyesight. Many mothers will stand a much lower risk of getting breast cancer if they take fish oil supplements as well as the added bonus of less pre-term labor.
There really aren't any side effects to taking fish oil except for choosing the wrong Omega-3 supplements - you should also make sure that the fish oil you're buying has been tested for mercury and contaminants - you can find this right on the label so make sure you check it. The cheaper fish oil supplements will usually have contaminants because less of that company's money is poured into testing. In this case, teh cheap stuff can hurt you A LOT more than it can help you. I would also recommend krill-based fish oil supplements over salmon because krill tend to be cleaner in terms of contaminants.
And while it's true that I know a lot about fish oil, I don't actually take fish oil - I take something much better for me on a daily basis that improves my overall health. Find the source article on my blog below to read about my secret weapon to stay healthy(and to fight acne).
