Fish Oils
Omega 3 fatty acids are very important for brain function. Low levels are linked to depression, low libido, bone loss and even heart problems. Scientists have found that omega 3 helps prevent atrial fibrillation, high blood pressure and also helps thin your blood. This is important because thin blood helps you avoid strokes caused by clots. Many of the "symptoms of the menopause" are in fact symptoms of decades of nutrient deficiencies catching up with us. If you don't eat (non fried) oily fish 3 times a week you are likely to be low in omega 3. With fish oil supplementation you do need to be careful. Cheap fish oil supplements can actually be harmful. This is because they are not processed correctly in the absence of light and oxygen (to stop them becoming oxidised or damaged). Also, if you take even a high grade fish oil, you need to ensure adequate amounts of antioxidants in your diet/supplements first. Otherwise you are simply better off eating more oily fish rather than taking a supplement. These high potency fish oil capsules give you 550mg of the essential fatty acids EPA/DHA per 1000mg capsule; These Fish Oils are guaranteed to be clean, stable & free from pollutants. Fatty acids are recognised in having an essential role in normal brain function.
Findings
As recommended by my nutritional therapist I have been taking 2 capsule of Fish OIls daily for over 6 months. You need to take them with food - cold food to make sure that they don't repeat on you. I find Hot food/drinks tend to make the fish oil flavour come through. Finding that my skin is much less dry, the eczema on my hands is no longer flaring up as it was. I'm not feeling as irritable - 'red rage' feelings as before, so maybe my hormones are more balanced? Not sure about the impact on my brain function, heart or bones but I hope and expect that I'm investing in all of these systems for the future too!
