The Case for Fish Oils
We’ve all heard that you need to be either eating fish or taking fish oils for the omega-3 fatty acids. Tom Venuto recently wrote a blog on his Burn The Fat Blog that gave some really good tips on why and how to get your omega-3’s. Here’s the quote:
1) eat fatty fish at least twice per week and even daily if practical and economical for you. If not, you could supplement with fish oil (1.5-3 grams of combined DHA/EPA daily)
2) Omega 6 fatty acids are also essential, but most people have an unbalanced omega 3 to omega 6 ratio. This can be remedied by increasing the omega 3 consumption and or reducing the omega 6 consumption (by decreasing intake of processed foods, refined grains, and supermarket cooking oils, with the exception of extra virgin olive oil)
3) grind up flaxseeds and sprinkle them on salads or add them to oatmeal, protein shakes or morning cereals. Alternately, supplement with flaxseed oil; 1 tbsp is equivalent to 3 tbsp flaxseeds (use as a supplement; Not for cooking)
4) snack on walnuts, which contain modest amounts of omega 3 fats (other types of nuts and seeds can also contain significant amounts of omega 3 fats)
5) increase your consumption of leafy greens which contain small amounts of omega 3 fats.
6) if you eat red meat, try game meats or grass fed beef or bison. they dont have nearly the quantity of omega-3 as marine sources, but they are higher in omega-3 and have a better omega-3 to omega-6 ratio than conventionally raised and fed beef.
7) Try omega-3 fortified eggs instead of regular eggs.
See how easy it is to get more omega-3?

I’m glad you put this post up. Omega-3’s are definitely very important to our overall health. This explains why omega 3 fish oils are some of the most popular nutritional supplements being sold today.
Yeah, my fish intake isn’t as good as you mentioned, that’s why I always supplement with fish oil everyday. Thanks for this aricle.
There is a new Omega 3 supplement in town. It’s called Moxxor. This product is a powerful, all natural Omega-3 anti-inflammatory & anti-oxidant.
The story behind Moxxor begins in the spectacular Marlborough Sounds region on the South Island of New Zealand where the nutrient-rich Tasman and South Pacific oceans collide. In this natural pristine environment grow perna canaliculus, the New Zealand greenlip mussel, source of the world’s most powerful and effective all-natural Omega-3. New Zealand greenlip mussels are shown to have the highest concentration of omega-3 essential oils on the planet.
Looking to provide a complete world-class wellness product, the preeminent antioxidant has been added. The world’s most powerful antioxidant comes from within the sauvignon blanc grape seed husk found only in the Marlborough region. Researchers have shown that antioxidants effectively combat free-radicals and aging.
So what makes the Marlborough Sounds region of New Zealand so unique and rare? The hole in the ozone layer above the Marlborough region creates intense UV radiation which causes all organisms living in this environment to evolve.
The visionaries and co-founders of Moxxor, Noel and John Turner, have taken the most effective all-natural anti-inflammatory and blended it with the world’s most potent antioxidant to create MOXXOR.
This is the best Omega 3 on the market today. Please visit my website, I’d be happy to assist you.
All the best,

I would also suggest that if you are going to eat fish oil everyday, that you make sure it is molecularly distilled, that way you won’t risk mercury contamination.
Thanks for the information. I usually don’t get enough fish oil so I take supplements maybe 3 times a week. Thanks for the article!
