Eat Fat to "Fight" Fat

Fish Oil is the front runner towards the fight on fat loss. Salmon appeared on the Top 20 Superfoods and is highly recommended by authors such as Barry Sears(PhD), Jonny Boweden(PhD), John Berardi (PhD) and the top strength coach in the world, Chales Poliquin.

Why is that?

Fish oil has gone through rigorous scientific assessment as has been found to have numerous benefits to humans. From heping people with schizophrenia, rheumatoid arthritis, asthma to heart disease. The two key ingredients is the EPA and DHA ration of fish oil. For most people, all you need to know is that EPA helps control any inflammatory condition (ie:arthritis) and DHA aids in cognition (ADD, concentration).

Fish oil can improve many health issues such as reducing heart disease, cancer risk, and diabetes risk. With all these benefits, fish oil should be an essential part of everybody's life!

How does fish oil help fat loss?

When you add these fish oils to your diet, these fats have been proven to help insulin sensitivity to muscles while decreasing it in fat cells. This leads to more nutrients going to the muscles instead of the fat that you already have. So fish oil helps with carb storage but also has been shown to improve protein storage, increase metabolism and lean mass.

Recommended fish oil supplements should have at least one of the following types of fish: salmon, sardine or anchovy. These fish are rich in EPA and DHA, which again are the fats that will give you all the great benefits that were listed above.
