Reasons to Eat Fish for Fatty Acids

The other day I started discussing Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids and how important they are for the body. In terms of weight loss and numerous other functions which are all interrelated. They literally help make hormones so the body can communicate with its numerous activities. If your body doesn’t have the right foods how can it work at its best?

The other day I mentioned how every single cell in your body needs essential fatty acids to function in our body. Are you feeling a little unstable with your nerves lately? For starters, fatty acids in your nerve cells maintain the nervous system, which is the communication center for your entire body. Think how anxiety can promote emotional eating among other things!


Have you ever heard of the term “fat head?” There’s a reason for it. Our human brain is made up of about 60% fat, so it needs essential fatty acids for adequate and effective cognitive functioning. How do you manage to focus on healthy eating if you are unfocused or not feeling positive about life? I’m not saying these things will cure behavioral problems but it can go along way with focus and attitude.

And did you know there are studies going on linking belly fat to lack of fish oil? All this is just the tip of the ice berg. More and more to come this week.
