Why are Omega-3’s so good for us? Simply put, many of our vital organs depend upon our intake of essential fatty acids, and without them, these organs can deteriorate over time. This list of organs includes our eyes, especially our retinas, which are replete with the Omega-3’s found in fish oil.

A study published in Archives of Ophthalmology reports a significant reduction in the incidence of Age-Related Macular Degeneration (ARMD) in subjects who consume fish. The macula is a specialized portion of the retina responsible for focusing on details. The study also uncovered a link between ARMD and high cholesterol levels. These early results certainly point toward a strong connection between dietary supplementation of refined fish oil and the maintenance of healthy vision. At present, ARMD is the number one cause of visual impairment in people aged 50 and over.

There seems to be a lot of confusion out there as to the best sources of omega-3 fatty acids. This article will break down the major sources of omega-3’s and give you the information you need to make educated choices.

First, there are three main types of omega-3 fatty acids: DHA, EPA and ALA. DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (Eicosapentaenoic acid) are found in fish and ALA (alpha-linolenic acid ) is found in plants like flaxseed. When you choose an omega-3 source, we suggest that you select a healthy balance of all fatty acids, but make sure you are getting enough EPA and DHA, as these fatty acids are responsible for the majority of the health benefits of omega-3’s.

This is important to remember: if a food or supplement states it is high in omega-3, it does not necessarily mean it is high in EPA and DHA. For example, although flaxseed oil is six times richer than most fish oils in omega-3’s, flaxseed oil contains mainly ALA, not DHA and EPA. Unfortunately, our bodies can only convert ALA into DHA and EPA in very small amounts. Scientific studies have revealed that fatty acids from fish or fish oil, but not flaxseed oil, benefited patients with cardiovascular disease and ADHD.

Protein shakes are a dime a dozen. However a high-quality protein drink that is both homemade and nutritious is a rare find. Most protein drinks today have traveled the path of least resistance — cheap and potentially dangerous sweeteners, sugar alcohols (in order to bring down the supposed “carb count”), and protein sources that are often dubious…and accompanied with more outrageous claims than grams of the good stuff.
