I'm just on my way home from attending a fascinating seminar by Dr Lars Lindmark on the benefits of fish oil. I'd like to share 5 top facts I learnt today:
1) Our total omega 3 intake has dropped 80% from what is was 100 years ago.
2) Hong Kong and Japan have the highest omega 3 intake in the world but also the lowest heart disease and cognitive disorders, according to studies.
3) Omega 3 is considered the No 3 "drug" to help combat depression.
4) By supplementing only 500mgs of fish oil per day will decrease the risk of coronary heart disease by 30%.
5) Eyesight deteriorates as we get older. The retina is comprised of 60% omega 3 fat. By supplementing with omega 3 you can reduce your chances of sight related problems and 'slow' down the acing process.
Here's 5 reasons why you should be supplementing your diet with the invaluable fat... Omega 3.

Who considers omega 3 the "no 3 'drug' to help combat depression"?
ReplyDeleteDr Lars Lindmark considers it the No.3 in the research he's conducted over the last 35 years.
ReplyDeleteThere's probably a paper on it but don't have it to hand.
