Benefits of Fish Oil in Bodybuilding
By Dane Fletcer
You have probably heard people repeat
over and over about the benefits of using fish oil but you have
probably never known the full reason why this is so. The first
quality that you should know about fish
oils
is that they supply the body with Omega 3 fats which are full of
healing properties. Omega 3 is a special type of fatty acid that
is polyunsaturated in nature. These beneficial oils mostly occur
in fish. With respect to all the types of polyunsaturated fats
that are available in nature there are only two that are of
essence to the body.
These are the linoleic and linolenic acids. These acids are
required to maintain the cell membranes, to maintain the body
nerves and arteries in trim condition, and to regulate the
normal growth patterns. The essential oils that have been
mentioned above are indeed vital in keeping the
skin
lubricated and smooth. They also keep the
joints well-oiled and flexible. These essential oils are
required to facilitate the breaking down and subsequent
metabolisms of cholesterol.
Fish oils do the body much good by supplying sufficient levels
of the omega 3-fatty acids. One of the main reasons why it is
important for you to have sufficient omega 3 oils is that the
body needs them to reduce the amounts of both LDLs (low density
lipoproteins) and triglycerides in the blood. If these
substances are in excessive quantities they may as well bring
about various cardiovascular diseases. Triglycerides are the
true fats. They are deposited in the muscles and the
fat tissue. Too much triglyceride in the body is
counterproductive to health.
Perhaps the most important role that is played by the omega 3
fatty acids has to do with the amounts of LDLs (low density
lipoproteins) and HDLs (high density lipoproteins) in the blood.
For a fact, cholesterol may occur in the blood in either of the
two formats. If it appears in the form of LDLs it implies that
the quantity of cholesterol involved is too high. As such this
cholesterol are deposited on the arterial walls in effect making
them narrower and more constricted.
The LDLs are the worst type of cholesterol
that you can have and they have negative impacts on the heart
and the general cardiovascular system. On the other hand, HDLs
contain lesser amounts of cholesterol. Their role is that of
scrapping off the cholesterol that is deposited on the arterial
walls and shipping these back to the liver for further
breakdown. After this reprocessing, the products can be safely
ejected from the body.
It is in this concept that the benefit of fish oil is heralded.
The main reason as you may now know is that the Omega 3 fatty
acids inherent in the fish oil are important for the well being
of the arteries and the general cardiovascular system at large.
Fish oils are also beneficial in helping recover from
ulcerative
colitis and
rheumatoid arthritis. Fish oil is indeed an important
supplement for any bodybuilder.
