Plants Give The Benefits of Fish Oils Without Harmful Toxins
Ever heard of “Eskimo theory”? It was a big deal in the health world in the 1970s when a group of Danish researchers found that Inuit peoples faced lower cholesterol levels and lower rates of heart disease.
The theory suggested the indigenous people’s high marine-fat diet provided the protection.
Since then, thousands of research papers have been written exploring the benefits of fish oils and marine diets. Turns out, it’s not the seafood diet that made the difference.
These diets are rich in omega-3 fatty acids like this oil.
Omega-3 fatty acids are an essential nutrient.
They are associated with:
- Supporting cognitive health
- Promoting cardiovascular health
- Maintaining healthy cholesterol levels
- Providing joint support
- Supporting overall wellness
- Reducing chronic inflammation
- …and so much more
The problem is, getting high quality fish oil is very difficult. It’s hard to verify where the fish were sourced, what type of fish was used, or how rigorously they were tested before extracting the oils.
- Some types are high in mercury, a toxic heavy metal.
- Certain fish in the Pacific Ocean are radioactive.
- Farmed fish often carry diseases.
Your body can't produce the amount of omega-3s you need to survive, so we need to get as much as we can from what we eat.
That’s why Flax Seed Oil is an amazing gift from nature!
It contains 50 to 60% omega-3 fatty acids in the form of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). That’s a lot more than you’ll find in fish oil.
A three ounce serving of salmon or trout provides one gram of Omega-3.
Or, you could eat twelve ounces of canned tuna.
…But, a tablespoon of Flax Seed Oil provides 7 grams of Omega-3!
Did you know that 35% of your brain consists of Omega-3 fatty acids?
Several studies have linked omega-3 supplements to higher test scores in children, improvements in memory, learning, and focus.
In older adults, lower levels of Omega-3 have been associated with smaller brain size, which can be a sign of accelerated brain aging.
It’s also been associated with lower levels of depression and may provide support for other mental health conditions.
If you’d love to get the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids without eating fish, simply eat a tablespoon of flax seed oil everyday.
