A daily regimen of vitamins and dietary supplements including fish oil may be a key factor in maintaining good health and longevity. However, for those with irregular eating habits, the benefits of such a regimen may be reduced or rendered non-existent if there is not enough animal fat to help the body to absorb the supplements effectively. Those who prefer vegan and macrobiotic diets – these are among the healthiest of diets, are most susceptible to this, and fish oil helps to provide the animal fat that is necessary for proper vitamin absorption.
Years of research have determined that a healthy society is dependent on conscientious dietary practices. In America, the land of many commercially produced food products, mostly over-processed and quickly and colorfully manufactured for its huge population for fast profit, leaves little thought to the nutritional needs of its consumers. Nutritional information on labels and boxes usually leave the consumer uninformed of the products’ true nutritional benefits. Most people do not even look at these labels! Those that do, do not realize that the percentages on the labels are only a fraction of what the body needs and only the percentage of that percentage that that particular supplemental product actually provides.
Of course, every living thing needs food for sustenance. Food is not the big evil here. The lack of knowledge in our society of disciplined eating practices and of nutrition -particularly the value of fish oil, has resulted in an increase in obesity – especially among pre-teens and teenagers, and its possible subsequent consequences later in life such as heart ailments, blood pressure irregularities, and diabetes. Food-abuse is common and rampant. The development of programs like the 12-Step Over-eaters Anonymous and Weight Watchers to the trendy Jenny Craig and tasty products like Slimfast over the last few decades have assisted those who cannot control or regulate their eating habits. These may be good ideas in theory, and in many cases, they are very beneficial. Ah…but where is the fish oil?
A consultation with a nutritionist or a careful study of many of the informative books and periodicals that are available on the subject of proper nutrition coupled with an awareness of the needs of one’s own body, and listening to the body, can help one to avoid the complications that can result from an improper diet
So, we are back to fish oil and supplements. Yes, fish oil helps the body to absorb vitamin supplements since it provides to the body the animal fat essential to proper absorption. It is a good idea, but only when we adopt and adhere to proper dietary discipline. Bon appetite’
