Fish oils are a major source of omega-3 fatty acids
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
Among their many benefits, fish oils improve memory, enhance concentration and act as a natural alternative to Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) drugs.
Fish is often referred to as "brain food", but to some, fish can look hideous (unless you are thinking about Nemo).
It has been statistically proven that some of the healthiest societies have diets high in fish and other seafood.
In addition to the many varieties and the unique taste that each one offers, fish carry one vital mineral: Omega-3.
Omega-3 is made up of superunsaturated fatty acids essential for special functions in the body.
Although vital, it does not occur in the body naturally and must come from foods we eat or supplements we drink.
Oils from fish fat naturally contain Omega-3.
As disgusting as it may sound, it is actually good for you to eat fish fat (I have personally tried it and it is oh-so-tasty.) On the other hand, eggs usually obtain Omega-3 from chemicals or medicines strategically added to chicken feed.
Fish oil supplements are also a natural alternative to drugs used to treat Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) or ADD.
Omega-3 fish oils help balance those factors to prevent or ease, and eventually fight off depression and anxiety.
As for my friend's allegation, many studies tested women who administered fish oil supplements during pregnancy and breast-feeding.
At the age of four, different kids were tested for problem solving and information processing.
Fish oil supplements can be found in most health stores and are usually available in bottles or as capsules.
Consult a naturopath to ensure which brand will be best for you, especially if you are using it to fight serious problems such as cardiovascular disease, attention deficit disorders or depression.
Certain kinds of fish oil are created specifically for certain problems and because claims about their benefits have increased, different companies have entered the market.
