Omega and fish oil
Omega acids can be found in fish oil, nuts and vegetable oils. However, many people do not consume as many omega acids (especially omega 3 and omega 6) and fish oils as needed to maximize the health benefits that can be gained from consuming them. For these reasons, taking omega acid and fish oil supplements is highly recommended. Additionally, many of the fish that contain the highest amounts of fish oil carry a higher risk of contamination with substances such as mercury, and also tend to be more expensive and harder to find. The benefits of omega and fish oil supplements range from reducing the amount of bad fats in the body, reducing the risk of heart disease and strokes, and lowering blood pressure. The effects of improving brain health and visual acuity have also been scientifically demonstrated, and the ability to improve athletic ability has also been demonstrated.
