I now include fish oil in my diet

Well it has been a while since I posted about my health. Since then I have tried a few other things in order to help with my diet. I am starting to really follow the belief that we are what we eat so I have made some diet changes. One of those changes was to include fish oil capsules in my diet once and for all and all the time. I started taking 6,000 mg per day (6 capsules) as per instructed for my spondilitis.

I can honestly say that my thinking is much clearer now and I do not dwell on pain so much or feel so tired all the time. This might also be because I know what the omega-3 is doing for me.

So what is the omega-3 fatty acids doing and why does it help fight against the inflammation in my joints?

"Every cell in our body is surrounded by a cell membrane composed mainly of fatty acids. The cell membrane allows the proper amounts of necessary nutrients to enter the cell and ensures that waste products are quickly removed from the cell. Because cell membranes are made up of fat, the integrity and fluidity of our cell membranes is determined in large part by the type of fat we eat. For the cell membrane to function optimally it must maintain its integrity and fluidity. Cells without a healthy membrane lose their ability to hold water and vital nutrients. They also lose their ability to communicate with other cells. Researchers believe that loss of cell to cell communication is one of the physiological events that leads to growth of cancerous tumors and that diets containing large amounts of saturated or hydrogenated fats produce cell membranes that are hard and lack fluidity. On the other side of the coin, diets rich in omega 3 fats produce cell membranes with a high degree of fluidity."

Well that says it all for me.

I have heard so much already about how good omega-3 it is for your heart. This makes all the more sense to me.

Also make sure you get yourself pharmaceutical grade fish oil otherwise you will end up poisoning yourself with all the toxic stuff that is in poor grade fish oil.

Go to the IFOS consumer reports if you want to find the best grade of fish oil. They are the 5 star types. Their oil is the purest and the best.

My choice is Omega-3 PGFO from A-M B-Well inc. in Canada. They also ship all over the world. The have the purest and the best price all around if you order more than one bottle. Shipping is also free. I have tried some others brands but AM's is the best. They say they will beat anyone's price and they do. I know.
