Something's Fishy.....>D

Fish oils are the latest craze in the supplement world.  Like any other nutritional supplement, most people take them because they heard something about something and it sounds good........Here's the skinny on Fish Oils.

Fish oils aren't oils taken directly from fish, they are produced by the micro algae that fish consume and create our essential fatty acids.

The benefits of essential fatty acids in our diet include, regulating blood chemistry (cholesterol levels) and blood pressure.  Studies have also shown that fish oils can reduce anxiety, depression and other mental health issues.  Finally, fish oils have been linked to treatment and prevention of Cancer, Parkinson's and Alzheimers.

The best way to get your fish oils is by eating fish (I bet your blown away by that concept).  Due to some of the toxic contaminants such as mercury, you should limit your intake of some predatory fish like, albacore tuna, shark and swordfish.  Good sources are salmon and halibut.  If you cannot get fish into your daily diet, then you should consider taking a fish oil supplement.
