Fish Oils - Providing Potent & Wide-Ranging Benefits
Among their many benefits for athletic performance, the components of fish oil (DHA/EPA) improve endurance by increasing mitochondrial efficiency via their positive effects on coenzyme Q10 and idebenone, two key substrates involved in energy production. For general health purposes, salmon oils provide one of the best defenses against cardiovascular disease and are also well known for their positive influence on brain function and mood. In addition, Omega 3 fatty acids from fish oils have been shown to provide impressive anti-inflammatory benefits by reducing specific pro-inflammatory cytokines and Series 2 prostaglandins, while increasing the level of anti-inflammatory Series 3 prostaglandins.
Why Omega 3 Only?
Our bodies cannot make the Omega 3 and Omega 6 essential fatty acids (EFAs), hence the name "essential." It is essential that we obtain them from dietary sources. Most of us do fine with Omega 6 intake; it's the Omega 3s that come up short. Recent research points to a 1:3 ratio as ideal, but 1:20 (Omega 3 to Omega 6) as common in most people's diets. Glaringly missing in the majority of the American diets are adequate amounts Omega 3s, which are vital for athletic performance and absolutely essential for overall health. Consumption of certain types of fish (such as salmon, mackerel, and sardines) two to three times a week, while being an extremely wise strategy, is simply not possible for most of us.
