There have been thousands of studies demonstrating effects of increasing Omega-3 fatty acids. Here is a list of some of these effects that relates to Correcting Pediatric Obesity With Essential Fatty Acids:
• Essential Fatty Acids (EFA), otherwise known as Omega 3 and Omega 6 Fatty Acids, are polyunsaturated fatty acids found in the oil from oily fish and some vegetable sources.
• Both types of EFAs are required for the production of the hormones that are responsible for regulating the major body functions, including digestion, insulin production and the storage of fat.
• Some studies conducted with adults concluded that Omega-3 fatty acids in the fish oil activates the enzymes responsible for burning fat, and combined with exercise and increased oxygen intake, they increase the metabolic rate, which has an effect of burning more fat and losing weight. |
