In today’s techno savvy world, there has been a rise in the health related problems. As a result of sedentary lifestyle, diseases like obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular have been continuously on rise. There are numerous studies and researches undertaken everyday to find out the balanced diet equation. Studies over the years have proved that food should be cooked in fish oil and cod liver oil. This is because of their numerous benefits. The fish oil helps in treatment of depression, cardiovascular diseases, obesity, cancer, peptic ulcers and type II diabetes.

The oil is not easily absorbed by many people in its natural state. It is because of its awful taste, people hate it. Therefore, people prefer taking it in the form of capsules. The oil contains vitamin D and A in abundant quantity. However, if fish oil is consumed in large amount, it can harm your health. Some of the harmful effects that can be caused are breathing problems, chest pain, diarrhea, skin irritation and high levels of blood sugar. Thus, if you suffer from any of these symptoms, stop your fish oil intake and consult a doctor.

Also, breastfeeding mothers, people with high blood pressure, diabetes and pregnant women must refer to their family doctor before taking fish oil capsules. There are side effects of these capsules that come with the overdose of EPA, DHA and omega 3 fatty acids. Studies have revealed that omega 3 is most beneficial when taken with molecularly distilled fish oil as all the contaminations like heavy material and mercury are removed by this process.

Rich sources of fish oil are albacore tuna, salmon, herring, black cod, cod liver, sardines, mackerel, anchovies and black cod. The source of cod liver oil is cod liver. Traditionally, it was given as a dietary supplement to children. It consists of vitamin D and A as well as omega-3 fatty acids. The benefit of consuming cod liver oil is that it is used to nourish hair, nails and skin. Also, the oil is taken to reduce stiffness and pain in joints which is caused due to arthritis. It has advantageous effects on bone, heart and brain.

Aroma and flavor of cod liver oil depends on the superiority of oil. The flavor can range from intolerable and intense smell to light sardine-like essence. Superior quality oil is oily, thin, pale yellow and has a mild taste of fish. Eating mint or citrus essence with cod liver oil makes the meal more delicious.

The amount of fish you consume is determined by your health and dietary status. Around 20 to 30 milliliters of cod liver oil is used while preparing food. However, studies have shown that the benefits of fish oil have been decreasing. Irrespective of any of the oil you consume, both cod liver oil and fish oil have their own advantages and disadvantages. Hence, according to one’s needs and requirements one can choose any option to go with.

With a rise in the sedentary lifestyle, an increasing number of people are
suffering from the problem of high cholesterol. This is possibly one of the main
reasons why a lot of people prefer to take additional supplements to maintain
their health.

People are slowly realizing the benefits of fish seed oil and flax seed oil.
Though people know the fact that consuming these supplements can prove
beneficial for their health, people are often flummoxed regarding the fact
whether these both supplements can be consumed together or not.

It is very important for a layman to first understand what purpose the two supplements serve before including them as a part of their daily diet. Actually, both of the oil supplements are extremely rich in omega 3 fatty acids and almost serve the same purpose. Moreover, the consumption of these supplements is considered extremely important as the fatty acids provided by them are not produced in the body.

Thus, an individual needs to fulfill their requirement by consuming them from external edible sources. Since both the supplements provide our body with same nutritional elements, there are several vegetarians who prefer flax seed oil over fish oil so as to completely eliminate any traces or smell of fish from their nutritional supplements. But it is not feasible everywhere as the flax seed oil cannot be produced and processed everywhere depending upon different circumstances.

Several people find it hard to digest flax oil supplements as it requires the
body to convert the element named ALA into DHA before it can be finally absorbed
by the body. Also, this conversion uses up a lot of body heat and energy in the
process. Therefore, consumption of flax seed oil is never advised for people who
are sick, old and who do not have too much of energy to spare. They prefer
sticking with fish oil supplements as the fatty acids present in it are already
in their crude form and can be easily absorbed by the body.

Though a person may choose either of the two but still enough precautions must
be taken to ensure that these omega 3 fatty acids which are generally available
in capsule and gel form are of the highest quality and of pharmaceutical grade.
Also, it is advisable to consult a physician or family doctor before including
these supplements in the daily diet.

Several doctors and researchers are of the view that fish seed oil is better
than flax seed oil as it contains the same elements i.e. EPA and DHA which can
also be found in the human brain. Therefore, an individual can choose either of
the two for consumption as a dietary supplement as both of them will serve the
same purpose and provide the body with same nutritional elements.

Though several people prefer fish seed oil as it is the crudest and popular
source of omega 3 fatty acids, flax seed oil remains popular with strict
vegetarians and vegans who do not want to consume fish in any form.

Globalization and industrialization has brought with it some side effects too
like an acute change in life style. Today people are busier going under knife
for getting brighter and flawless skin, and they don’t even mind spending
thousands of bugs on the treatment for normal ailments.

But, as a very famous scientist has once said, the best medicine to treat diseases is healthy food. Yes, this statement definitely contains the truth because the foods that we eat largely affect our body to a great extent. One of the very common misconceptions that people generally have is that fatty acids are not good for health. But that’s not the truth since there are several fatty acids that are indeed really good and health for your body.

A very essential fatty acid isomega-3 that not only helps in the growth of our physical body but at the sametime omega-3 also protects our body from various harmful diseases. Omega-3 is a fatty acid that is a part polyunsaturated fat.

If you want to have a healthy body then it’s very important that you ingest proper
balance of DHA and another fatty acid ALA. Fatty acids cannot be primarily created
by our body thus; it becomes all the more important to consume nutrients or foods
containing omega-3 fatty acids. The minimum intake of omega-3 that is primarily
needed by a fit and healthy person is at least 600-900 mg of cervonic acid that
is DHA every single day. However, as compared to omega-6 fatty acids the list of
food items that contains omega-3 oil is essentially very less.

This is so because people eat or consume more of omega-6 than omega-3 which in turn increases the risk to various heart diseases and some other cardio vascular diseases. According to the person’s physique and immune system the ALA oils gets converted into EPA and DHA. Some natural resources of omega-3 fatty oils are flaxseed, hemp, chia, lingonberry to name a few. Flax seed is initially a great source of Omega-3 fats.

You can either consume flax seed directly or blend it with some other food items and create your favorite recipe that’s delicious as well as nutritious. However there is a probability that omega-3 can be found in certain dairy and animal products but it generally happens only when the animals are fed on meadows or grass. But since it is does not really happen today therefore most of the dairy items contain a very less amount of omega-3 fatty acids. Fish is however, an exception and it contains large amount of omega-3 acids.

A recent study made has shown that the Hoki fish that’s found in New Zealand contains large amount of omega-3 fats. In fact these species of fishes are also very safe as the waters in which these fishes swim is extremely neat and clean. So if you don’t want to be bitten by disease bug that you should definitely include omega-3 fatty acids in your diet and live life at its fullest.
