Fish Oil Fast Fact #160: Make Your Minutes at the Gym Count Double!

It is getting close to that time of year where many of us simply cave in and plan to pack on a few pounds. After all, the holidays are indisputably one of the most delicious seasons of all, and it can be hard to resist treats that not only taste wonderful, but bring back special memories. But before you unpack your “fat pants” and say goodbye to your “skinny jeans” until January, consider taking some serious action.

Studies show that people who get a healthy dose of omega 3 fish oil each day actually tend to get better results at the gym, which means that you could potentially counteract some of those calories without raising your daily stairmaster quota to 10 hours or something equally unheard of (British Journal of Nutrition 2009). While taking omega 3 will not, all on its own, result in your body transforming itself overnight, the essential nutrient that also plays a major role in brain function and heart health could be a major factor in your diet’s success, or your maintenance of your current level of fitness.
