The Importance of including Omega-3 Fish Oil In Your Diet

You may have seen an advertisement about the importance of taking omega-3 fish oil. Additionally, you may have received a suggestion from a friend that you eat fatty fish at least twice in a week. Well, these two cases point to the same thing: taking omega-3 fish oil is essential. Granted, your health stands to benefit. That’s because fish are high in omega-3 fatty acids. In addition, fatty fish are a dietary source of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). 

EPA is thought to be efficacious in treating depression while DHA is primary structural component of the human brain. Clinical studies, in fact, have suggested that EPA and DHA help reduce the risk factors for heart disease including high blood pressure and high cholesterol.

So what are omega-3 fatty acids? These are healthy fats essential for human health; they are good for our nutrition. Our bodies, unfortunately, cannot make them; thus, you need to get them from your diet by eating fish, some vegetable oils, or taking supplements. Some of the fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids include tuna, salmon, mullet, sardines, trout and mullet while vegetable oils rich in these essential fats include soybean, rapeseed and flaxseed.

Fish oil supplements are usually made from these fish; they help you make up for the lack of omega-3 fatty acids in your diet.

So why do doctors recommend at least one rich source of omega-3 fatty acids in your diet twice per week for good health?

Some Health benefits of omega-3 fatty acids

·         Numerous clinical studies have indicated that foods high in omega-3 fatty acids content lower blood pressure, in people suffering from hypertension. However, one needs to take the right doses, under the direction of a doctor to achieve this.

·         A well-established fact is the importance of omega-3 fatty acids in cardiovascular health. One way to prevent heart disease is to eat food low in saturated fats but high in unsaturated fats (like omega-3 fatty acids). For people already suffering from heart diseases, including fish oil in their nutrition could reduce their risk of dying from the disease.

·         Heart diseases are associated with high triglycerides. Thus, to reduce the risk of heart diseases, physicians believe that triglycerides should be kept at a certain minimum. Researchers have found that fish oil can reduce triglyceride levels by around 35%. Also, since people with diabetes have high triglyceride levels, taking omega- 3 fatty acids may help lower triglycerides. So, foods or supplements with these fats may help people with diabetes.

·         Doses of Omega-3 has also been proved to contain high proteins and vitamins levels with a low level of saturated fats hence does not lead to increased weight gain.

·         Other diseases that omega-3 fatty acids are thought to treat include; bipolar disorder, depression, osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, skin disorders, asthma among others. However, only partial studies have been conducted to assert this.

·         If you do not like fish taste in your mouth, you can always use the omega-3 supplements to ensure that you still enjoy the same benefits.

·         You should not exceed your intake of omega-3 to more than 3 grams in a single day, for an adult. Alternatively, you should consult with your nutritionist on the correct amount to take especially if you have a heart condition.

·         Vomiting, loose stools and stomach irritation can be associated with your intake of omega-3 fish oils.

very amazing essay writing tips -part two

This is the second and final part of our series, very amazing essay writing tips. In this series, we are discussing how to develop professional essays that will surely score a high grade. If you have not read the first part of this wonderful series, you are missing in action. Here is the link; read the first part and you’ll qualify to co-star with me as we develop professional essays from scratch.

A brief recap of what we have already covered

We talked about reading through the questions, underlining keywords, listings and directive words such as evaluate, discuss , criticize etc. This, as we discussed, helps us know what exactly our instructor wants.  In essence, it helps us answer questions the way we are supposed. We also talked about developing a thesis statement.  We defined thesis as a statement that expresses the overall response to the question. It should not be very simplistic so as to show that a solid thought had been put behind its development; in any case, it forms the backbone of the essay.

So now we look at essay outline.

Outline the answer before writing

Let’s face it; we love clarity, we love something that seems well organized. So does your teacher. The writing process should be easy and straight forward and writing an outline helps us achieve that. Jumping into the writing ‘bus’ without adequate preparation and hoping the journey to quality essays will be smooth turns us to be a dead dream. In fact, the journey will prove futile and time consuming. Here is my point: write a logical outline upon which your essay will flow. This helps you present your essay in a professional manner; after all, we are writing professional essays.

So how do you write an outline?

Use brief sentences to describe your paragraphs and bullet points to describe the contents of your paragraph. The ideas should be arranged in a logical sequence and should be relevant to the question. You don’t want to finish writing the essay only to discover you have not answered the question. A clear outline defines the direction your essay will take.

Take time to write an introduction

The introduction should grab the reader’s attention. It consist the main points to be made—simply call it a buildup of the issue—and should lead into your thesis. An attention grabbing introduction could start with startling information, which is true and verified of course. This may be a pertinent fact that helps illustrate your point and, in most cases, requires a brief elaboration.

You could also start your introduction with an anecdote, a story that illustrates your point, but ensure it is short, clear and relates to your essay.

Writing paragraphs

Each paragraph should expound a certain idea, contained in the outline,  in a concise manner. In addition, the idea should be supported with explanation and evidence. The paragraphs should have a flowing rhythm; that is, transition from one paragraph to the other should be smooth. In case you are writing a procedural essay, ensure the paragraphs are arranged such that they correctly follow the steps in the procedure.

Take time to write a conclusion

A conclusion is a neat bundle briefly explaining, in a satisfactory manner, the beginning and ending of your essay. It brings a closure to the reader, and may provide a final perspective—your feelings about the topic—on the points you raised in your essay.

Proofread and proofread

When writing, we tend to misspell words, omit parts or words, or omit parts of question. Also, we may misstate dates and figures; writing $0.60 instead of $60, or 7/21/1999 instead of 7/21/1989.

Reread your essay and answer the following questions.

·         Are the sentences flowing smoothly from one another? If not, adding some transition words like “therefore” and “however” might prove helpful.

·         Is your essay making logical sense?

Run a spell checker or a grammar checker to help catch errors that you could have missed—however, the practice is not 100% effective. Also, a friend might help catch the errors. Alternatively, you can opt to hire essay and academic paper editing services from a professional.

Rereading also helps us to qualify answers when in doubt. For example, saying “In 1894, the government decided to blah blah” when you are not sure whether the year in question was 1894 or 1884 may not be helpful. Your teacher may have the actual year and you can get a deduction in your essay marks due to lying. You can go around the statement by writing “Towards the end of the 19^th century, the government decided to blah blah.”

Once you have finished checking your working and formatting correctly, your essay is ready for forwarding to the teacher.
