\"OmegaUnsaturated acids are mostly omega 3 and 6 acids. Both of them are needed to ensure good health \u2013 whereas the right proportions have to be maintained. Consuming too much of omega 6 acids contributes to development of inflammations. One group of people with increased omega 3 requirement are athletes \u2013 working out generates plenty of free radicals and microdamages of muscles, requires the heart to work harder, puts burden on bones and joints \u2013 the body can only handle such challenge if we provide it with the right omega 3 supply.<\/p>\n

Omega 3 diet supplement \u2013 how does it support workouts?<\/h2>\n

Omega 3 fatty acids take care of ensuring proper functioning of the entire body, and they become especially important for athletes.<\/p>\n

The benefits of getting high doses of omega 3 cannot be exaggerated:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2013 omega 3 increase protein synthesis
\n\u2013 unsaturated acids limit undesirable catabolic reactions, thus preventing excessive disintegration of muscle proteins
\n\u2013 omega 3 increase cellular insulin sensitivity, which ensures optimal glucose supply to working muscles and allows for intense effort
\n\u2013 omega 3 alleviate inflammations, thus supporting post-workout regeneration
\n\u2013 by supporting functioning of brain and nervous system, omega 3 provide great motor coordination when working out
\n\u2013 omega 3 support synthesis of hormones, including the anabolic growth hormone
\n\u2013 athletes take omega 3 for joints \u2013 unsaturated acids stop the development of inflammations and degenerative processes<\/p>\n

Thanks to having such versatile properties, omega 3 provide great conditions for working out and regeneration. How much omega 3 do we need to get from the diet?<\/p>\n

Omega 3 \u2013 sources in the diet and supplementation<\/h2>\n

Omega 3 can be provided through food\u2013 the richest in this nutrient are saltwater fish: sardines, tuna, mackerel, cod. Omega 3 fatty acids<\/a> can also be provided through plant oils, especially the rapeseed and linseed oils, as well as flaxseed oil, chia seeds, nuts and pumpkin seeds or avocado. These are the products that should be included in every athlete\u2019s diet. We shouldn\u2019t forget about a supplementation, though \u2013 taking DHA and EPA acid capsules makes a valuable supplementation of the diet and the supplementation plan for athletes. Some of them even take up to 2 g of it a day with supplements \u2013 that\u2019s the requirement for omega 3 acids.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
