Increase Your Fat-Burning Ability with Omega-3
Learn how to boost your fat burning with omega-3
Burn more body fat with omega-3 fatty acids? At first glance, you just know this couldn't possibly be true. The fact is there are several studies that prove taking omega-3 supplements combined with exercise, helps you burn more fat than ever before.
Omega-3 + Exercise = Weight loss
The University of South Australia studied the effects of omega-3 (1) on weight loss. In their study, they monitored 68 overweight and obese people. They divided the subjects up into four groups.
Group number one took small daily doses of fish oil. Group number two took small daily doses of sunflower oil. Both groups one and two walked 45 minutes, three times weekly but made no changes in their diet.
Groups three and four took either the fish oil or sunflower oil supplement but didn't exercise.
The only group to lose weight was the group that combined the fish oil supplement with exercise. Researcher, Alison Hill, states 'The omega-3 found in fish oil increases fat-burning ability by improving the flow of blood to muscles during exercise.'
The Australian research group is planning more studies in the future to see if weight loss increases with more exercise.
Burn More Fat
How can you apply this study? Simple. Do what the subjects in this study did. Walk for 45 minutes, three times per week and take the right amount of omega-3 essential fatty acids. For extra weight loss, cut back on your calories.
Getting enough omega-3 is easy. You can buy a quality omega-3 supplement or eat tuna, salmon, or herring at least once per week. When it comes to your health, not to mention increasing your fat-burning ability, a little bit of exercise and one supplement a day is well worth the effort.
