Omega-3 in your diet
There is sufficient evidence these days of the need for Omega-3 in your diet
“Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Omega-3 fatty acids-found in fish oils- seem to increase the number of PARS, which will help reduce your inflammation (my knees). We recommend you get Omega-3s in the form of three to four ounce servings of fish per week or a 2-gram fish oil capsule a day or an ounce of walnuts a day.” (Page 95 YOU on a Diet, by Dr. Oz) The American Heart Association recommends 2 servings of fish per week and according them, 75% of Americans do not consume the recommended amounts in their diet. Omega-3’s have also been known to improve circulation, learning and concentration as well as promote healthy joints and skin. Foods found with Omega-3’s include olive oil, canola oil, fish oils, flaxseeds, avocados, and walnuts. Depending on your eating habits, you may or may not need a Omega-3 supplement. We eat olive oil everyday, walnuts in our oatmeal and fish fairly regularly. However, if these items are not in your weekly lineup, then a supplement could be an option for you.
Recently, I had the opportunity to try the GO3 Original Omega-3 which is endorsed by David Beckham. We also got to try the junior version GO3 which are chewable gelatin tablets flavored with strawberries. The Omega-3 concentrate comes from anchovy, sardine and mackeral. In addition, there are Vitamins A,D, E incorporated in the formula. My son is four and he tried it once and spit it right out. Couldn’t stand it. He will take it if I squirt the liquid in his mouth- but won’t eat the vegetarian capsule. I’d say on average he eats 3 bites of fish on fish night and doesn’t eat walnuts- so he for sure needs a supplement.
As far as supplements go, I do not know how to determine a good supplement from a not so good one. If you can’t get the required amounts through your diet, then a supplement should be considered. Readers, please feel free to offer up your advice on this subject, as I do not feel qualified to form an opinion on the subject.
