So Many Fish In the Sea …

… but, likely not many of them in your belly or your medicine cabinet.

Here’s a little poem I wrote that I hope that you will like: 

“All you tasty fishies in the sea,

thanks for all that Omega-3! ” 

(Hey, I didn’t say it would be a long poem … or, even a very good one.)

Do you have fish oil – where your Omega-3 (the stuff in fish oil that’s really, really good for you) comes from - in your house?  I’m talking about in tablet or caplet form.  Well, if you do and you are consuming it on a regular basis, stop right now and give yourself a big ‘ole pat on the back.  If you do NOT, then stop reading this blog, hop on your bike and head on over to Walmart and pick-up a big bottle of ‘em.

I know what you’re thinking, and the answer is, “No, I do NOT own stock in any fish oil tablet companies.”  I should, though, because you would be wise, and so would everyone, to make fish oil a part of your healthy-eating routine.  Study after study, and some more studies after that, have shown the countless benefits of including fish oil in your lifestyle.  From shinier hair to stronger fingernails, to a healthier heart, better circulatory performance and more, fish oil can help you with that.  There have been recent studies out of Japan and the U.K. that indicate that fish oil even has a beneficial effect on asthma - how cool is that?!  Answer:  Really cool!

Of course, any time you can supply your body with naturally-occurring vitamins and minerals, say, those found in fresh fruits and vegetables, for example, you’re on the right track!  Supplements, however, can also be helpful to your overall nutrition.  I don’t go crazy with supplements and I do prefer to get my nutrients from non-processed foods, but I also do regularly take fish oil (3x daily), iron, calcium and biotin.  It works for me, and I strongly encourage you to do the research to see what works for you!

I have a little seven-year-old friend who LOVES salmon!  She would eat salmon for breakfast, lunch and dinner if that were possible!  If you are like her and you like to eat fish a lot, you just might be fine with your fish oil intake!  But, most people aren’t, which is why I wanted to put this out there for the entire world to read.  Get on the fish oil bandwagon … your body will thank you for it!

Now, I’m gonna go buy that fish oil company stock we were talking about earlier.  Ha!  (but, not really.) 

Have a great day!
