Omega-3 As You Age


Age. You feel like it is working against you, because it actually is. But you can combat the effects of aging with great nutrition! The best plant-based supplements will boost your metabolism and help you burn more calories.


If your “get up and go” got up and went somewhere else, you probably need a metabolism boost. Many people have a sluggish metabolism. The older you are, the more sluggish it likely is, and other lifestyle factors like poor diet, heavy metals, toxins, and insufficient nutrients intake. You can reverse a sluggish metabolism with the right fuel.


As we age, certain nutrients deplete over time, and when they are sparse in the diet, this only complicates matters. Boost Focus Fuel contains herbs, fruits and organic teas that boost your metabolism with natural fuel energy. The natural compounds of green teas and green coffee beans boost the metabolism for all day energy and endurance. Ingredients like organic cocoa reduce appetite and garcinia cambogia supports healthy serotonin levels. The adaptogen herbs in the formulation help the body fight stress and enhance mood.


Another important cornerstone of nutrition is omega-3. It is an essential nutrient needed for proper health. The body does not produce omega-3 so we must consume it through diet or supplements. Most people need a supplement because diet alone usually does not provide sufficient omega-3. They come from animal-based sources like salmon and eggs, and plant-based sources like soybeans and walnuts. Most people have a deficiency because omega-3 is not sufficiently supplied by the diet, so supplements are necessary. Omega-3 is vital for brain health and cognition, cardiovascular health, and maintaining a healthy inflammatory response. Omega-3 intake can help lower blood lipid levels, too. Opti Omega is a fish oil that is highly concentrated, clean and pure. It provides eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and docosapentaemoic acid (DPA) in each soft gel. All of these are natural triglycerides that the body needs, Vitamin E serves to stabilize the oil. In short, omega-3s are the good fats you keep hearing about.


Most people are deficient in omega-3 and many patient symptoms and complaints can be explained by this deficiency. Unless you eat salmon on a daily basis, or eggs on a daily basis, you likely are deficient in omega-3.


The American diet is heavy on red meat, which supplies lots of omega-6 but not enough omega-3. A deficiency in omega-3 can weaken hair, skin, and nails by creating brittle hair, dry skin, and weak nails. Dandruff and skin rashes can be attributed to omega-3 deficiency, and this can also contribute to poor sleep and poor concentration. Omega-3s can contribute to joint pain, leg cramps, allergies, and poor heart health.


Yes, good fats are a “thing.” Fats have gotten somewhat of a bad name, and there is certainly quite a bit of misinformation out there. Omega-3 fatty acids are essential good fats needed for health. They come from animal-based sources like salmon and eggs, and plant-based sources like soybeans and walnuts. Most people have a deficiency because omega-3 is not sufficiently supplied by the diet, so supplements are necessary. Omega-3 is vital for brain health, cardiovascular health, and maintaining a healthy inflammatory response.
