Best Kept Secret to
Reduce Sugar Cravings - Omega 3 Fish Oil!
Reducing sugar cravings is one of the amazing benefits of essential fatty acids like Omega 3. Eating a balance of protein, fat, and healthy carbohydrate at each meal will go a long way to help reduce sugar cravings.
Essential fatty acids (EFAs) like Omega 3 & 6 are not made in the body, and must be included in our daily diet as food or in supplemental form. The Omega 6 form is most readily available in oils like canola, olive, grapeseed, peanut, safflower and sunflower, as well as seeds and nuts. The Omega 3 form is found in fish and fish oil. Flaxseed is not a good direct source of Omega 3 since the body has to go through a conversion step to make and utilize the Omega 3. Some individuals, for a variety of reasons, lack the ability to make that conversion.
Other advantages of EFAs are:
- improved performance of brain and cell membranes
- necessary hormone precursors
- helps to offset other harmful fatty acids like trans-fats and arachadonic acid as found in corn-fed, chargrilled beef
- normalizes cholesterol and triglycerides
- increases metabolism and energy
- reduces cellulite
- natural mood enhancer
- prevents anxiety and hyperactivity
- helps prevent osteoporosis
WARNING: The problem with fish oils on the market today is the potential for rancidity and heavy metal contamination.
In my professional opinion, Nutritional Direction has the most pure, efficacious and stable Omega 3 fish oils on the market today. We love the Designs For Health TruTG fish oils! Research shows that they are as much as 100% more bioavailable then the ethyl ester (EE) form, the form found in the Lovasa prescription brand, and many other brands found in stores.
The 30 day prescription Lovasa sells for around $195.00... plus, it has to go through another conversion step in the body to make it usable! The Designs For Health OmegaUltraAvail 120 gelcap is around $36.00 for a typical 6-week supply!
If you don't buy the Designs For Health brand from Nutritional Direction, then make sure you get a third party, independent laboratory assay for heavy metals, rancidity and PCB's for the brand that you choose to use.
