Not all fats make you fat. Some fats can even make you skinny! Well, they can help you lose weight and keep it off when combined with exercise and a nutritional diet and attitude.  And “which fats are these miracle fats?” you ask. They’re the omega 3 fatty acids that you get from fish oil. 

Here’s why fish oil and weight loss go hand in hand:

• Omega 3s burn fat by decreasing insulin levels. Insulin tells your body to store more fat instead of burning your current fat as fuel. A study published in the International Journal of Obesity showed that people who supplement their diet with omega 3 increase the number of fat calories burned per day by up to 26%!

• Combining fish oil with exercise makes you lose even more weight. According to a study at the University of South Australia, people that got omega 3s AND exercise lost more weight than those getting only one or the other. 

• Fish Oil helps weight loss by making you less hungry. A recent study showed that when overweight people took omega 3 supplements in addition to following a weight-loss program, they felt fuller longer. 

So here’s how you can burn the fat away (26% more per day!) and make it really work:

#1. Take fish oil supplements daily. High-quality proven omega 3 gels and liquid supplements are an easy way to ensure that you get the right amount of omega-3s for your body.

#2. Exercise daily (or AT LEAST four times a week). If you like hitting the gym or taking fitness classes, this part will be fun for you. If you don’t, let’s find something that you like to do that counts as exercising (as long as you do it four times a week!). 

These items count as exercise: brisk 20 minute walk during work break, playing a sport (a pick-up b-ball game at the park or gym, a weekly company baseball game, weekend hockey or soccer, an hour at the ice rink), cleaning your house, a hike, boogie boarding, surfing, rollerblading at the beach, chasing after your two-year-old all afternoon, shopping for two+ hours, building a dog house or shelves, assembling a piece of Ikea furniture, gardening, washing and waxing your car, a night out dancing. 

Yes, anything that gets you moving (and hopefully your heart rate up!) counts. The first choice we mentioned — a 20 minute brisk walk — is always an easy one to fall back on if you’re busy.

This one-two punch is really a great way to melt away the fat and achieve the flat stomach and lean body you want. So, if you want to burn away 26% more fat per day, start with natural fish oil supplements.

Omega-3 oils are the lubricating fluids of your joints, the balancing fluids of your heart, skin and pancreas, the force for the battle against cancers and the fluid to keep the brain tuned.

But for these healthy truths to happen to your body the Omega-3 oils must reach the parts of your body where they are needed most.

The healing Omega-3 Oils must reach the “LACTEALS”- the lymph vessels that will help carry the life saving oils to your joints, heart, brain and other important parts of your body.

How do you do this?

When Omega-3 oils are taken on an empty stomach, they are carried by the lacteals until they are later absorbed and assimilated within the body.

These lymph vessels (the lacteals) then transport the oil to a major oil-collecting depot within your system known as the “cisterna chyli”. Then it is picked up by the thoracic duct and the oils are delivered into the lymphatic system and sent to locations in your body where they are most needed.

By taking Omega-3 you are “loading” the chylomicrons with vitamin D, Vitamin A and Vitamin F (The essential fatty acids). You are using systematic circulation to carry these curing oils and vitamins to the very places in your body that they are needed.

In effect you are able to bypass the greedy liver and go straight to where the oils are needed.

This process of absorbing the Omega-3 oils works best when you don’t drink water with your meals. If you omit water, your digestive system can deliver approximately 90 per cent of the omega oils to your lacteals. The capillaries will capture the remaining 10 per cent.

But we need to drink water, you may ask.

You are 100% right.

Seventy percent of the planet is covered with water. Eighty percent of your body is made up of water. What do you think a large percentage of your diet should contain?

You need to make certain that 70 percent of your diet is made up of foods that are rich in water. That means fresh fruits or vegetables, or their freshly squeezed juices.

Some people recommend drinking from 8-12 glasses of water a day to “Flush Out The System.” Do you know how crazy that is? In the first place most of our water isn’t that great and no matter what water you drink, you can’t cleanse your system by drowning it.

The amount of water you drink should be dictated by thirst. Instead of trying to flush your system by flooding it with water, all you have to do is eat foods that are naturally rich in water.

And your valuable Omega-3 Oils will not get flushed away through your liver, but reach the parts of your body that need them, naturally.

The secret of taking your Omega-3 oils and sending them to cure your body is to use “Esterified Hydrolysed Oil.” Simply stated, mix your Omege-3 Ester with a healthy juice cocktail, breaking down the oil globules, emulsifying them, so that they can travel through your digestive system more easily.

So that the Omega-3 fatty acids are then transported by the lymphatic system, oils travelling through your body via lymph ducts.

Just be certain from now on to have a salad with each and every meal. Make fruit the snack to reach for and take your Omega rich oil supplements every day mixed with a healthy fruit juice.

However you must be certain you take the most beneficial Omega-3 Fatty Acids, the very best and most pure of EPA and DHA.

To receive the many benefits of DHA you have to consider ensuring that you do as follows:

1.Find a source of fish oil that is high in DHA or alternatively is prepared to take much higher doses of Fish oil.

2.Ensure that the Fish Oil you use is molecularly distilled.

3.Try to find your fish oil in the “Ester form for better bio availability.

As a helpful hint, I can tell you where you can find an oil, which stands head and shoulders above all the rest and meets all this criteria.

One company produces an Omega 3 fish oil product/extract that uses only a cold, deep-water fish known as the Hoki that comes from the Southern Ocean of New Zealand. We all know New Zealand is naturally pollution free and clean.

The Southern Ocean at this latitude (unlike its northern counterpart) is not exposed to any form of industrial pollutants, but nonetheless the fish still goes through extensive molecular distillation processes to remove any form of contamination at all, whether that be natural or man made. We were also fortunate that the fish selected is also naturally high in DHA making it even more attractive.

Why not find out and decide for yourself. In good health.

Whilst there have not been many flaxseed oil and acne studies carried out, flaxseed supplements remains a popular acne treatment, with both natural therapists and acne sufferers.

Flaxseed is traditionally used as a natural laxative, providing bulk to the stool as well as lubrication. But flax oil has many other benefits, which derive from its richness in the omega 3 essential fatty acid. Essential fatty acids are so named because we must get them from our diet – our bodies do not make them. They are important for normal growth and development, brain function, and help prevent chronic illnesses like arthritis and heart disease.

Essential fatty acids come in several forms, the most commonly known being the omega 3 fatty acids and the omega 6 fatty acids. Omega 6 fatty acids are more common in our Western diets, being found in oils like safflower, sunflower, corn, sesame, and other oils. It is possible to have a deficiency of omega 6 fatty acids if relying only on omega 3 fats, like flax and Fish Oils, as the main type of fat in the diet. Or if taking the omega 3 fatty acids in greater quantities for a period of one and a half, to two years, to restore an omega 3 deficiency. But the more likely scenario is that an excess of omega 6 fatty acids is being consumed in relation to the omega 3’s.

Symptoms of omega 3 fatty acid deficiency include dry skin, sticky platelets, and tissue inflammation. Given that inflammation is of particular concern for acne sufferers, it becomes easier to see why increasing the amount of omega 3 fatty acids in the diet remains a popular natural acne treatment.

Omega 3 fatty acids can be found in certain types of fish like salmon and mackerel, and flaxseed oil. And as well as reducing inflammation, omega 3’s speed up healing – again, important for acne sufferers – and reduce platelet stickiness. Platelet stickiness becomes important beyond heart health when you consider that the blood cells carry the supply of oxygen to cells, including cells in our skin, and the cells that are involved in healing.

There are 3 types of omega 3 fatty acids that are significant. These are alpha linolenic acid (ALA or LNA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexanoic acid (DHA). ALA (or LNA, as it is often abbreviated to) is converted into EPA and DHA by the body. EPA and DHA are the forms in which the omega 3’s are most easily used by the body. Supplementation with ALA has been found to reduce inflammation and improve dry skin.

Flaxseed oil is a very good source of ALA, containing an average of 55% and higher. But to carry out the conversions into EPA and DHA, the body needs to have good levels of zinc, magnesium, vitamin C, vitamin B3 and vitamin B6.

The recommended intake of ALA is about 2,220 mg per day. Higher doses are recommended to treat deficiencies, or some conditions. There is no real standard recommendation for acne sufferers simply because not enough studies have been done in relation to acne. But doses of 3000 to 6000 mg per day are used to prevent and treat some chronic conditions.

It’s a jungle out there with all these different anti aging vitamins and supplements being touted as the new thing that will make you look 500 years younger, and give you better skin than a baby.

The question is, does any of it work? In this article I will answer that question. I have had much experience with anti aging vitamins and supplements, I have done my research, and I have experimented and tried many things.

With all that said, you have to be very aware in this industry, because many companies will try to sell you some very bad products, at a very high price.

The reason they do this is because people buy, and people keep buying. Otherwise they would be out of business, but they aren’t, so the only way we can stop them is to educate ourselves, and only buy the best, natural, and effective products.

So, what anti aging vitamins and supplements should you take? Here are the top 3 things I always recommend for friends and family, and these have been proven effective through the years.

1. Multivitamin – Finding a good multivitamin supplement is important, because our food supply is very depleted right now. This has happened because our soil has been abused, so our food doesn’t have as much vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants as it used to. Taking a good multivitamin will help provide your body with the nutrients it needs.

2. Omega-3 – Taking an omega-3 Fish Oil supplement is important as well, because we need healthy fatty acids for our body, and our skin. It is important to find a pure, natural fish oil, because many cheap alternatives can be contaminated with mercury.
3. Natural Skin Care – This one is really crucial. Many skin care companies are putting in ingredients, and chemicals that you might think are harmless, but they can, in fact, cause cancer, depression, hyperactivity, skin problems, and other serious ailments.

So when you’re thinking about buying anti aging supplements, only stick to what is completely natural, and make sure that you do your research, so you can find the best supplements, and best skin care products and get excellent results, like I have.

But then how do you tell if your dog’s diet requires supplements? Or what type of supplements are good additions to your pet’s diet?

Your dog’s diet may not need to be supplemented at most times. Let’s assume that you feed your pet on formulated diet from a respected dog food company that offers you a guarantee that your dog’s meal is uniquely designed to provide a well balanced and healthy diet for your dog. When you occasionally give low quality meals to your dog that increases the need for additional supplementation. It’s normal for vets to advice you to give your pets diet some boost. It’s advisable that you supplement your dog’s diet with a boiled egg a number of days in a week. This will add a good amount of vitamins A and D to your dog’s dietary requirements. Vitamins A and B are vital for maintaining good bone makeup and healthy eyes.

Suppose you have resolved to take the matter into your own hands and create your own dog’s diet by cooking at home or customizing a natural diet or you just want to ensure that your pets’ health is at its top, you may require learning about the advantages of supplements. Then you need to know that your pet’s diet could be well enhanced by addition of green vegetables, nuts, and whole grains. These food items will increase your dog’s intake of vitamin B. other enhancement may include yeast, liver, and beans. Vitamin B is essential to your pet’s health because it gives your dog healthy muscles and skin.

To strengthen your dog’s immune system by warding off deficiencies, enhance the dog’s diet with extra vitamin E. Wheat germ, bran, and vegetable oil are excellent sources of vitamin E. Another essential nutrient is vitamin K which abounds in plenty in liver, fish, leafy greens vegetables and seeds. Vitamin K is essential because it increases your dog’s blood clot capability.

Glucosamine is another good dog diet supplement; this is because glucosamine has been verified to enhance joints health and keep arthritis at bay. Dog diet supplements could also be unsafe if done incorrectly e.g. you may be mistaken to think that you are doing your dogs lots of good by supplementing their diet with raisins and grapes, a very terrible mistake. Such fruits have been reported to cause dogs death through renal failure after consumption. It is therefore wise to consult a professional before administering supplements into your pets diet just to be sure that you are doing the right thing.

Excessive use of calcium supplements is dangerous to a dog’s diet. Moderate use of calcium is good for the formation of strong, healthy bones, but too much could be fatal. Big breeds of puppy tend to grow excessively large but weak bones when given excessive calcium in their diet.

Ensure that you have consulted with your veterinary about the dog’s supplements you are considering to get for your pets. The vet should advice you on the suitable quantity of supplement s to include in your dog’s diet. You and your vet both care for your dog’s welfare and should ensure that you provide what’s good. Giving a healthy and well balanced diet to your dogs is one of the simplest ways of ensuring that they have a long healthy lifestyle.

Product description In the early 1990s Dr. Holt developed one of the most popular fish oil capsules that is sold in the world market. Using his skills in clinical pharmacology, he applied enteric coating to gel capsules containing fish oil. This revolutionary technology has now been widely applied and copied by other dietary supplement manufacturers. Dr. Holt developed this technology to improve the amount of active omega 3 fatty acids that can be absorbed from a fish oil capsule. Dr. Holts technology provided other advantages by decreasing gastrointestinal upset from fish oil and preventing bad breath and fishy burps that are often experienced of fish oil liquids or standard capsules, even if deodorized fish oils are used.
