Combatting Inflammation
Let's talk about Omega-3s today!
Omega-3s are essential fatty acids meaning that you need to consume them, and your body does not and cannot make them.
Omega-3s are essential for:
* Decreasing inflammation
* Supporting Brain Health
* Supporting Hormone Health
* Supporting Heart Health
* Supporting Joint Health
It is recommended that we intake 2000-4000mg of Omega's daily with a combined EPA and DHA in a ratio of 2:1 EPA to DHA.
Foods that are high in both EPA and DHA (can be referred to as SMASH) are:
- Salmon
- Mackerel
- Algae
- Sardines
- Herring
(Chances are you are not sitting down several times a day to consume these in large quantities.)
The recommended supplement that I want to talk about and also is something I take myself daily is:

***FULL MEGA***
Full Mega has a high potency of Omega-3's and is rich in EPA/DHA. By now, I am hoping that you may have a bit of a grasp on how important it is to minimize inflammation and consume adequate amounts of Omega-3 fatty acids on a daily basis. It can be a challenge to get enough of these in our diet which is why Full Mega is one of my favorite foundational products when it comes to overall health AND fitness results.
Some attributes of Full-Mega:
+ High Potency Ompega-3 from fresh cold water, wild caught Icelandic mackerel, herring, anchovies and sardines. Wild caught fish contains MORE EPA/DHA than farm raised fish.
+ 2.5g of Omega-3's per serving supplies your body with 900mg of EPA and 600mg of DHA.
+ Sourced using certified sustainable fishing methods and green technology to ensure the highest quality product. (Also... NO FISH BREATH!!)
If the body is inflamed, it is going to hinder weight loss, muscle growth and recovery making it more difficult to see results. Make sure you are getting enough of those Omega-3s daily to help you avoid that! All the hard work you are putting in, you want to be able to see and also feel!
Additionally, this is a foundational supplement I recommend on my website as well and you can additionally order from there, or you can click the link provided. Check out the reviews from others as well if that is helpful to you. Personally, adding this to my daily regimen makes a giant difference in my body composition and I don't go a day without it!!!
