Did you know Fish Oils help you build muscle and lose fat?
Fish oils help the body in so many ways! Fish oils, Aka ‘Omega 3 fatty acids’, are super important because they will improve the health of every cell in your body!
The problem is that most people have a higher omega 6 to omega 3 ratio, which causes inflammation in the body. Thus preventing you from losing weight, as your body is off fighting other battles. The more packaged foods you eat, along with eating out, cooking with omega 6 oils like any veggie oil (try using only coconut oil, grass fed butter or nut oil. Even olive oil burns fast, changing its health property’s. It’s only best consumed raw) has most of the population consuming 20-30 times the amount of Omega 6 to Omega 3’s. The body runs optimally at a low 3-1!
This is why supplementing with high dosage fish oil will help decrease inflammation and help your body lose fat.
Fish oil will also help build muscle and a recent study showed that those taking 4 g of fish oil, compared to another group taking the same dose of safflower oil (which is an Omega 6), lost body fat and increased their muscle mass. What was interesting is that those in the study, who took fish oil, had a large decrease in the stress hormone cortisol. Cortisol is a catabolic hormone that degrades muscle, which leads to fat gain and this is because it slows down the metabolism and makes you feel stressed out.

What it all comes down to is that fish oils help in many ways and will convey these anti-inflammatory benefits
1- Detoxification of the stuff you don’t want in your body, like waste products and Inflammatory biomarkers
2- Improve cellular health and building of muscle
3- Decrease hormones that cause inflammation, and
4- Help you live and feel better
There is an additional supplement that aids in fat loss when accompanied to fish oil, which is is carnitine.
Research to date has shown that combining Carnitine & Omega 3 can be beneficial to your health. Taking Omega 3 has been shown to improve the efficiency at which Carnitine can work. By taking both together cells are better able to absorb fatty acids to burn for energy. This can help speed up the body’s metabolic rate and therefore helps with fat loss. Although Omega 3 has been shown to improve the efficiency of Carnitine it is not essential for it to work.
