Have you been hearing a lot lately about Omega Vitamins? I know I have been. Omegas were recommended to my wife by her doctor. Then she started to get on me about taking them. At first I was confused. I did some reading, but I still wasn’t too sure about them. So I asked my Chiropractor, and this is what she told me.
Omega 3 fatty acids have come into the nutritional spotlight lately for a lot of reasons. First are a part of a group called Essential Fatty Acids. They are essential for certain functions of the body, however the body isn’t able to manufacture omega Fatty Acids through our diet. Without adequate amounts, they’re a lot of things that can go wrong with your health. Making matters worse is the fact that these Omega 3 Fatty Acids really are difficult to source in the typical modern diet. Fish, walnuts, hempseeds, krill and algae are all real good sources. Things we all eat on a regular basis, right? Beef can be a pretty good source so long as the beef cattle were grass fed, which is rare and fairly expensive today, if this organic grass fed meat is readily available. Another problem is fish farming, where Omega 3 content is questionable in large part due to the feed the fish are given, which most of the time does not reflect their natural diet. Due to their known importance and their scarcity in our daily diet, Omega 3 supplementation is a good strategy for getting sufficient amounts of these essential fats.
The positive effect of Omega 3s with regard to cardiovascular health is well documented. Omega 3s help by lowering cholesterol and high blood pressure levels, acting as a blood thinner and helping to keep anti-arrhythmic. DHA, found in many Omega Supplements, is now recommended to help women have a healthy pregnancy. Babies are more likely to go the full term with healthier weight, and proper brain function. Moms may also be less likely to suffer from post-partum depression. These Supplements produce a powerful anti-inflammatory effect, as well. Many patients experiencing body pains no longer have to use ibuprofen or any other over the counter pain meds due to supplementing with Omega 3 regularly.
Many Chiropractors carry a type of Omega Supplement that has been put through a step to remove contaminants like mercury, dioxin and PCBs. This is critically important. It is so imperative this is done that many chiropractic centers recommend skipping a supplement rather than take it with these toxins.
A good way to get started is to learn a little. You can do like I did and schedule a consultative visit. Your Chiropractor can help you find a good way to get these important nutrients into your wellness plan.
Hopefully, you are starting to really understand more with regard to the importance of these Vitamins. To learn more about the benefits of Omega 3 Supplements, contact a Chiropractor.
