Word to the Wise: Start Taking Fish Oil Pills Now

The new year brings an abundance of opportunity to get a fresh start and try new things. Whether it’s exercise or diet, health is the number one new years resolution. Getting healthy is 80% diet 20% exercise. Exercise is incredibly important but everything starts with diet: what you put in your body. Word to the wise: Fish Oil needs to be one of them.A few months ago I noticed that my memory started to get bad. I would walk into rooms and forget why I got up to begin with, misplace random items or forget where I was driving to. I am not a forgetful person. I love routine and pride myself in always knowing where my things are. At first, I thought maybe it’s my age but then reasoned – I’m 23, there is no way memory loss is starting now. Then, like most things in my life, I turned to my diet. Whenever there is something off in my body I can always count on a small tweak in my diet to help.

I started researching things that help with memory loss and discovered fish oil and the numerous benefits behind it. Fish oil is loaded with omega-3 fatty acids. Interestingly, Vegetarians lack omega-3 because they do not consume fish (the best source for Omega-3’s)…it all made sense now.

Omega-3 plays an important role in brain function, normal growth and development and inflammation. It also has incredible health, hair, and skin benefits. It has been found that consuming fish oil pills aids in reducing weight and waist circumference and supports strong immune function and bone health. It promotes healthy skin by reducing sun exposure and prevents wrinkles (never too early to start) and supports hair growth. It’s easy to get lost in the online noise when researching which fish oil pills are the best. After trial and error (and a few recommendations from health coaches) I found Nordic Naturals ProOmega-D as the most effective and my favorite. The pills are easy to swallow and don’t taste like anything. I take one in the morning before breakfast and one before I go to bed. Nordic Naturals is the leading company in fish oils for a reason – they exceed all pharmaceutical standards for freshness and purity.

I have been taking them for over a month now and my “brain fog” has decreased. I have also noticed an increase in energy after I take these pills, it’s like an electric burst of fresh air. Vegetarian or not, try Nordic Naturals out – you’ll be surprised at how much clearer your mind will be.
