A Few Facts About Omega-3 Essential Fatty Acids
Omega-3 is a polyunsaturated fatty acid, which is missing from most people diets. It’s chemistry shows it to be a double bonded carbon. It is flexible, tough and has interactive qualities, meaning it dissolves and is used in the body, quickly and easy.
Omega-3 is one of the most important fatty acids required by the body, which cannot be produced by the body mechanism. Therefore, we need to depend on the natural sources and consume it orally. This element plays a vital role in developing human brain functions and also helps us in our physical growth and development during our childhood.
Omega-3 is found in abundance, in sea fish like Salmon, Tuna, mackeral and also in krill. It is also found in different types of nut and seeds. Research has proved that this fatty acid is concentrated in our human brains in abundance, and it helps in building the ‘logical branch’ of the brain. For newborn babies, omega-3 plays a vital role.
If a pregnant mother is deficient of omega-3, a new baby may face problems related to developing eye sight, brain function and even nerves. As this fatty acid plays a vital role for keeping us healthy, more and more people are 'shouting' about how vital it is to life function.
The American Heart Association published a report that said omega-3 EFA's could reduce the risk of many cardiovascular diseases. They therefore recommended eating oily fish like salmon, tuna, sardines, mackerel, on a frequent basis, or at least twice per week Krill. Research has also shown that regular doses of omega-3 reduces the risk of inflammation.

A Question Often Asked About Omega-3 Fatty Acids
I search the web most days for new information and news about omega-3 essential fatty acids, and a question I come across quite often is 'how can I get all my omega-3's without eating fish every day?'
The first thing you need to know, is that to get all your WEEKLY omega-3's, you'd need to eat oily fish like salmon every day. But that is just not possible.
When we were 'cavemen', we got all we ever needed, because we went out and hunted and fished for prime sources. The second thing you need to know is that our bodies have not changed in the last two hundred thousand years, which means we still need the same amount of omega-3 fats as we did back then.
No wonder there is an every increasing, health deterioration stories wherever you look!

What Is The Key To Increasing Your Longevity
Only in the last fifty years or so, have we seen an incline in people becoming fatter and dying younger. Within this time, heart disease has become a daily topic, so has obesity, and other related health conditions such as Type 1 Diabetes. In this lens we will look at the key factors YOU need to apply today, so you can live a longer, healthier life.
Don't Get Caught in the Law of Familiarity
You are what you eat. It's that simple. But this near cliche is often lost in the law of familiarity, and people get so used to hearing it, they don't adhere to the fundamental rules of life. If you want to live to a ripe old age, and stay as healthy as you can, for as long as you can - you must follow a healthy way of life.
This is a way of living that allows you to enjoy more aspects of your life in a more fulfilling way. It is not just about trying to avoid one illness after another like the majority of the population, or trying not to feel as bad as you normally do. It is about feeling and being well physically, mentally and socially. It is about making specific choices that give you the opportunity to feel your best, for as long as you can.
Making healthy choices will increase both the length and quality of your life, by boosting your immunity to disease and keeping you emotionally healthy. Every system of the human body relies on a healthy lifestyle to function properly. The cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, immune and other body systems depend on a steady supply of vitamins, minerals, protein, carbohydrates and fat to fuel metabolism and cell development.
Many factors affect your health. Some you cannot control, such as your genetic makeup or your age, but you can make changes to your lifestyle. By taking steps toward healthy living, you can help reduce your risk of heart disease, cancer, stroke and other serious diseases.
Let your body rest
Adequate sleep allows the human body time to repair damage and rejuvenate cellular tissue. Sleep is important for memory consolidation and appetite regulation. Inadequate sleep can inhibit productivity, reduce an individual’s ability to remember and consolidate information and can have profound effects on health, including increased body mass, higher risk for diabetes or high blood pressure.
Get more exercise
Adults should aim for 150 minutes of moderate activity or 75 minutes of vigorous activity every week (or a combination of the two). Kids and teens who engage in an hour of moderate or vigorous activity each day improve physical fitness and cardiovascular health. Limit sedentary activities like watching television, working on the computer or playing video games. Regular exercise not only prevents many health conditions and chronic illnesses, but also improves mood, helps to fight depression and can improve sleep.
Eat Healthy Foods - Bad Foods Will Eventually Kill You!
Do you feel like you can't keep up with the latest nutrition news because it's always changing? While it's true that what is known about nutrition and diet is evolving, there are some nutrition basics that will never change. This implies a sufficient intake of omega 3 fatty acids and magnesium.
Omega-3 fatty acids are essential nutrients for health. We need omega-3 fatty acids for normal body functions, such as controlling blood clotting and building cell membranes in the brain, and since our bodies cannot make omega-3 fats, we must get them through food. Omega-3 fatty acids are also associated with many health benefits, including protection against heart disease and possibly stroke. You can find out more about the best types of omega-3 fats at our website (address in the sidebar above), which is a site we have built to explore the positives and any negatives of taking omega-3's as part of your daily nutrition plan. You will be surprised to learn that there are some negatives with taking high doses of omega-3's.
Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the human body and it is necessary in over 300 reactions within the body. Every single cell in the human body demands adequate magnesium to function, or it will perish. Strong bones and teeth, balanced hormones, a healthy nervous and cardiovascular system, depend upon cellular magnesium sufficiency. Soft tissue containing the highest concentrations of magnesium in the body include the brain and the heart, two organs that produce a large amount of electrical activity, and which can be especially vulnerable to magnesium insufficiency.
Drink more water
Did you know that your body is approximately 60, your brain 70 and your lungs are nearly 90 percent water? Each day, your body must replace 2.4 liters. Water is more important for your body's survival than food. You can live without water for approximately one week, but you can survive without food for more than a month. Drink six to eight 8-ounce glasses of water each day. This doesn’t including coffee, juices, soda or other beverages. Water prevents dehydration, aids kidney function and keeps the digestive system running smoothly.
Don't Smoke - You know its bad for you!
Tobacco causes more deaths each year than illegal drug use, HIV, alcohol use, motor vehicle injuries, suicides and murders combined. Smoking cigarettes, cigars or pipes increases the risk for cancers of the oral cavity, larynx, oesophagus and lungs. Smokeless tobacco is associated with oral, oesophageal and pancreatic cancer, along with potentially fatal heart arrhythmia. So, if you want to live longer, don`t smoke!
Limit your alcohol intake
A large number of studies have shown that moderate alcohol intake can lower the risk of cardiovascular disease. Moderate drinking means one drink per day for women and one to two for men.
One drink is equal to:
12 ounces of beer
5 ounces of wine
1½ ounces of spirits (hard liquor such as gin or whiskey, 80-proof)
Unfortunately, some people can’t stop at just one or two drinks. Too much alcohol can result in serious health consequences. Heavy alcohol intake can damage the liver, causing cirrhosis, a fatal disease. Excessive drinking also can raise blood pressure and damage the heart, and is linked to many different cancers, including mouth, oesophagus, breast, prostate, and colorectal cancers.
Reduce Your Stress
Stress happens when your life becomes out of balance physically, mentally or emotionally. This imbalance can be caused by internal stress like worrying too much, environmental stress like pressure from work, family or friends, or by stress from being fatigued or overworked. Being stressed out has the potential to affect your health in a variety of ways. You can become tired, sick, tense, irritable, and unable to think clearly. If you want to live a healthy lifestyle, you will need to manage the stress in your life so that it does not overtake you. This means taking charge of your thoughts, emotions, tasks and environment to get your body back in balance.
Conclusion
It is no secret that an active lifestyle and proper nutrition can help you lead a longer, healthier and more fulfilling life. A well-balanced diet of nutritious foods combined with regular physical activity can decrease your risk of developing certain chronic illnesses and can prevent many diseases.
Choose a diet and exercise plan that keeps you at optimal weight. Stay away from tobacco and excessive alcohol consumption, get enough sleep and reduce your stress. Making these simple choices you will improve your energy level, reduces pain, decreases your risk for cancer and other serious diseases while increasing energy levels and improving your mood. Your health and well-being are in your hands. What are you going to do?

Enough said, really.
Here is a great breakdown of what omega 3 essential fatty acids actually do in the body.
7 important benefits of omega-3 fatty acids There are many benefits to eating omega-3 rich foods, including a healthier brain and heart and a lowered rate of anxiety. And that’s just for starters.
Just some of the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids.
There is a problem with Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Omega-3 and omega-6 EFA's are called 'essential' because the body requires them for normal life. The human body does not make this important nutrient, hence it must be obtained in food.
But, there is a fundamental problem getting omega-3 fats from your food!
You need to eat oily fish every day, or consume a bucket full of flaxseeds, hemp seeds or walnuts (just to name a few sources), every week. This is neither practical, and never normally feasible.
Our ancestors were 'hunter/gatherers'. I'm sure you've heard that more than once. But the ancient peoples of the world only ate foods that were, you guessed it - fairly high in omega fats! They were meat eaters, fishermen and gatherers of seeds and nuts.
They never had office jobs. They didn't drive for a living and they didn't spend half their time cleaning the house and doing the garden. Life was for practicalities only then, which meant they had all the time they needed to kill, pick, cook and eat all the necessary foods.
This is the reason you must get your essential fatty acids in supplement form. If you don't, you're body is not getting all the nutrients it needs for normal life.
If You're a Vegetarian, What are the Options for Omega-3 Fats?
There's no better source of omega-3 fats than krill oil, but what do you do if you are a vegetarian or are allergic to shell fish?
You have several options. Firstly you have micro-algae based DHA omega-3 fatty acids that have been proven to reduce the symptoms of heart disease. (Read more here - http://jn.nutrition.org/content/142/1/99)
You also have flaxseed oil, even flaxseeds but you need to eat a ton of them to get enough omega-3 fats. Walnuts are also high in omega's, but the problem with both of these is that men don't convert them into essential fatty acids very easily, neither are older people.
So, you have other choices like leafy green vegetables and hemp seeds, which are great sources. I've also read about people thinking that they're getting their daily amounts of omega-3's from peanut butter. I don't know who advised these folk on peanut butter and omega-3 fats, but they've got it completely wrong.
Peanut butter is high in omega-6 essential fats, which as the name suggests, are 'essential' for life. But, the body requires more omega-3 EFA's for normal functionality, than it needs 6's. So, bewared of peanuts.
A great explanation of how krill oil can help anyone with lots of health concerns.
