What's the connection between
Omega 3 and Weight Loss?

The study showed that daily doses of fish oil (which contains omega 3 fats), when combined with exercise, created weight loss with no dietary change.

The study participants who took fish oil and exercised lost an average of 4.5 pounds over 3 months, with no dietary restrictions.

Here's the physiologic connection between omega 3 and weight loss: Omega 3 increases fat burning ability by improving blood flow to your muscles during exercise.

Omega 3 fats have also been shown to boost brain functioning and reduce the risk of stroke. So this new research gives you yet another reason to eat fish!

If you like the taste of fish, the best source of omega 3 fats is from cold water and oily fish such as salmon, sardines, and herring. If you're not crazy about the taste of canned sardines or herring (although they are quite tasty on crackers with mustard...), I recommend Wild Alaskan Salmon (avoid farmed fish) because it is the only truly safe source of fish.

Or, you can buy a liquid or pill fish oil supplement. Recently, krill oil has come out the clear winner ahead of "regular" fish oil because of its high antioxidant content. Fish oil supplements tend to go rancid quickly, so I highly recommend switching to krill oil, as do many other health authorities such as Dr. Joseph Mercola. Here's a great deal on a high quality krill oil supplement that provides 1000 mg of krill oil in each serving.

And here's another great deal on krill oil.

So now you know that the connection between omega 3 and weight loss is strong. Fish oils provide so many benefits, and now they also help you to lose weight!
