Researchers at the University of South Australia are saying that Omega
3 which is found in fish oil increases the bodies fat burning ability
by improving the flow of blood to the muscles during exercise.
They say it was a surprise to find that those who took fish oil doses and exercise lost an average of 2kg over three months, especially since they were still eating what they wanted.
60 overweight and obese volunteers were monitored over a three month period. The group was divided into four, with one part taking daily small doses of the fish oil and another was given sunflower oil with no alteration to their normal diet.
Both groups undertook moderate exercise for 45 minutes each day, which consisted of either a moderate walk or run, while another two groups received either fish oil or sunflower oil but had no exercise.
The results seem relatively conclusive – the two groups that did no exercise also lost no weight. Yet the group that took the sunflower oil and exercised did not lose any weight either.
In another part of the globe, South African researchers have found that primary school children who are given daily doses of fish oil, showed improved learning and memory. Further studies have shown that Omega 3 fatty acid, when taken as rich spread not only improved verbal learning, memory and spelling ability, but it also lessened the number of days that children were absent from school through illness.
A Taiwanese study has also concluded that Omega 3 supplements which are given to primary school children reduce the severity and duration of common illnesses.
In addition to that, the Rush University Medical Centre in Chicago found that Omega 3 fatty acid also helps to boost brain functioning, while at the same time, cutting the risk of stroke and helping protect the brain as people age.
So what dose should you take? Experts say that people should consume at least 400mg of Omega 3 in their food each day, but most don’t even get half of this, and as little as 20% of the population eat no fish at all. The simple fact is that the evidence is continuing to show all the good things that having fish oil can do for your health. Omega 3 in particular is high in DHA and EPA, facts. And the research so far shows that these two compounds may help to prevent a variety of serious illnesses such as heart disease, depression, diabetes, and others. The fact that now you can take fish oil, couple that with moderate exercise and lose weight, is an even bigger benefit.
It is on course to remember though that you should be getting not just enough Omega 3 fats in your diet, you also need to balance those with Omega 6 fats, which you can find in most vegetable oils. For further details see the link below.
