I grew up in Iceland where we would drink the pure fat from fish liver. It’s called lysi and it was awful. Today you can get it in pill form.

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.

Sunflower seeds, soybeans, olive oil and avacados also contain omega fatty acids. There are a number of foods that have the fatty acids added to them in manufacturing such as some cereals, orange juice and baby food.

Food is a great way to add omega fatty acids to your body. You might want to consult with your nutritionist to verify just how much is enough for you.

Supplements are another way to get the essential fatty acids if your diet does not currently supply you with an adequate amount.

Why is all of this really that important? Research proves that developing babies require this.

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.

Other health problems that can be positively affected by omega fatty acids are depression, rheumatoid artiritis and possibly even certain cancers.

A nutritious diet is always recommended. But another all natural weight loss program is my Weight Loss Breeze Program.
