We are excited to announce that CFPC is now carrying ProMega 3 Fish oil. Why supplement with fish oil?
EFA or Essential fatty acids are fats that can not be produced in the body but are crucial to good health. Omega 6 fats are pretty easy to come by and can be found in animal fats, nuts and seeds. Omega 3 fats on the other hand are not as easy to come by; therefore supplementation is necessary for;
Nervous system function and brain development- Omega 3's keep our brain cells more "fluid" which allows messages from neurochemicals such as seratonin to be transmitted more easily. speeding up the brain to muscle pathway decreases our risk for Alzheimer's, memory loss and other mood problems. Several studies have shown a decrease in ADD and ADHD by implementing fish oil. Fish oil boots mental focus and concentration in and outside of the gym!
Insulin sensitivity - More fluid cells= easier uptake of glucose into our cells. This is a great thing, we store glucose in our muscles as fat- when this fat is mobilized and uploaded into our cells we use it for energy creating decreased fat and more muscle. Isn't that what we all want?
Cardiovascular Health- It seems like omega 6's take a bad rap- they don't but they do cause our cells to become rigid. Anyone that has ever heard of atherosclerosis or hardening of the arteries knows this is a disaster waiting to happen. Keep those cells soft bro- get some Omega 3's in to keep cells fluid.
Inflammation- Omega 3' fats do the opposite of omega 6 fats. Omega 6 causes inflammation in the body and omega 3's reduce inflammation. While we need some degree of inflammation (think bee stings box hop mis hap's etc) we need omega 3's to reduce inflammation in the muscle breakdown that happens with our training to speed up our recovery. Decrease inflammation to increase the fluidity of our joints and become more supple!
