What Can Fish Omega 3 Do For You! First off lets clarify, there are two ways to derive Omega 3: From Fish source [DHA & EPA]; and from plants [ALA]. Sources from fish have been shown to benefit you a thousand times over. For the avid athlete Fish oils are shown to lubricate joints, decrease inflammation [help recover from an injury of the joint/muscle], and improve skeletal muscle health. Basic health benefits are: Decrease coronary heart risks; decrease stroke [study done on women]; Improve Blood pressure; decrease platelet aggression and improve vein/artery health. [retrieved from Fish consumption, fish oil, omega 3 fatty acids and cardiovascular disease studies.]
Studies suggest that between 2 & 4 gr. of EPA/DHA should be consumed by the athlete looking to benefit from any if not all of the said effects. Our ancestors have been eating fish for a very long time [He said, "Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some [fish]." When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish. ~30 A.D.]
Were going to look at your run of the mill fish oil and then were going to exam the fish oil i take and others highly recommended.
This is the basic Fish oil you may find at wally world. In every 2 pills [serving size] your getting 720 mg of omega 3, inside of that is 360 EPA and 240 DHA. Which means that inside a 2400 mg serving size, 720 mg are what you want [ 30%] and roughly 600 mg total of that is what your body uses [25%]. To accumulate your total necessary amount to receive any of the above benefits you would have to take between 12 and 16 pills a day [and that's the bare minimum, the harder you go and bigger you are the more you need.]
Now look at my preferred brand:
This brand is pretty new and to use them you would need to find an online retailer, either way good stuff. In 5 ml serving size it contains 1700 mg of Omega 3 and 825 mg EPA and 550 mg of DHA [1.375 g]. You looking at needing 10-15 mg of it a day [that's less than a serving of cold medicine].
Your choice is either a shot of lemon flavored oils, or 16 pills. Either way consume, consume, consume!
To be a high level athlete you need Fish oils, if your eating out at least once a week than you can ditch that fast food killer and consume fish oils. Treat your temple the way it needs to be.
