THE OMEGA 3 LIFESTYLE

Copyright 2006 McEvoy

Omega 3 is known to have amazing affects on many aspects of

health, but it should not be treated as a miracle cure – in

order to remain fit and healthy, you have to maintain a

healthy lifestyle which an Omega 3 supplement will enhance

and support. With a little effort and common sense you will

find you become healthier and happier.

These tips and general suggestions make a good start in

allowing natural sources of Omega 3 to do their work.

• Wherever possible make sure you eat whole, natural, and

fresh foods.

• You should try to eat five to ten servings of fruits and

vegetables daily. Also make room in your diet for more

peas, beans, and nuts.

• You can increase your intake of omega 3 fatty acids by

eating more fish, walnuts, flaxseed oil and green leafy

vegetables. For instance, you can obtain an adequate

doseage of omega 3 fats by eating two salmon a week, or by

taking a gram of omega 3 fatty acid supplement daily.

• Use olive and canola oil in cooking.

• Drink water, tea, non-fat dairy and – good news! - red

wine (two drinks daily or less for men, one drink or less

for women).

• Lean protein such as skinless poultry, fish and lean cuts

of red meat is the better alternative.

• Try to avoid trans-fats and limit your intake of

saturated fats. So avoid fried foods, hard margarine,

commercial baked goods, most packaged and processed snack

foods and high fat dairy, as well as processed meats such

as bacon, sausage, and deli meats.

• Limit your consumption of glycemic foods. Glycemic foods

are foods made with sugar and white flour that increase

blood sugar levels. Increased blood sugar levels stimulate

the pancreas to release insulin, upsetting the body’s

natural balance. Chronically high insulin levels are

believed to cause weight gain, as well as atherosclerosis

of arteries.

• Finally, take twenty minutes’ moderate exercise a day –

it’s easier than you think.

Conclusion

Looking after your body and ensuring it has enough Omega 3

is simpler than you might imagine, and the benefits are

enormous.
