omega-3

Avatar f tn The omega-3 fatty acids should be in your prenatal.
Avatar f tn you know, I haven't been taking the Omega 3 since I got pregnant - they make me nauseous. I just take my prenatals daily. I try to eat healthy(doesn't always happen) but i do try. I didnt take any Omega 3 with my other kids and their fine, so oh well.
Avatar n tn I am not sure of your question. Are you asking where omega 3 and omega 6 foods come from? Omegas 3 / 6 are polyunsaturated oils that help lower cholesterol and help prevent blood platelets from clotting blood vessel walls. The best source is fish especially mackerel, tuna, salmon, and lake trout. Fish should be eaten 2-3 times a week. Omega 3 are found in whole nuts, soy nuts / oil, and canola oil. Recommend 1-2 teaspoons of nuts daily. Hope this answered your question.
Tbd There are lots of good food choices that help maintain appropriate cholesterol levels or even to lower them. The top food on most any list is simply oats or oatmeal. Then things like bran, fish with omega 3 fatty acids, nuts and especially almonds, avocados, olive oil, etc. Here is explanation and ideas for each. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/high-blood-cholesterol/in-depth/cholesterol/art-20045192 There are also foods to avoid.
Avatar f tn My doc recommends a prenatal vitamin for everyone and omega 3 if u have less than 3 servings of fish each week.
Avatar f tn It would help if I had a list of foods to go grocery shopping for, and what I could or couldn't eat.
Avatar f tn I would suggest a good brand omega 3 supplement that says its been purified of heavy metals. Omega 3 is good for your baby's brain development. Also drink bottled water or I guess you could use a filter system like britta. You don't want to be drinking water with all sorts of junk in it. Make sure juices and milk are pasteurized it's very important. When buying fruit there are certain ones you should invest in organic ones.
1765695 tn?1313669583 These sources are important, the benefits and risks of omega-3 and omega-6. omega-6 is essential to health. In fact research has linked an impressive list of health concerns to omega-6. It has been suggested that omega-6 should be used in the treatment of anorexia nervosa, ADHD, osteoporosis, diabetes, eye disease, certain skin conditions, allergies, rheumatoid arthritis, tuberculosis, cancer. The average American diet provides more than 10 times the proper amount of omega-6.
Avatar m tn After being diagnosed with the beginnings of heart disease I have been doing a lot of reading and it appears that Omega 3 may benefit my condition. Does anyone know if this is true and if so can you get Omega 3 anyway other than eating fish?
Avatar f tn What brand of Omega 3's are you using? I have been taking just the Kroger brand Omega 3's with fish oil concentrate. Should I maybe look at the health food store for some that are especially for pregnancy? Thanks!
1281900 tn?1320336402 In addition, omega-3 fatty acids are part of a healthy diet that helps lower risk of heart disease. Our bodies naturally produce small amounts of DHA, but we must get the amounts we need from our diet or supplements.
Avatar n tn Lutein is also good supplement for eyes. Blueberries. Beta carotene and vitamin A. Cod liver oil (omega 3). Stay away from processed foods. Eat organic when possible.
Avatar m tn 1/2 cucumber - I take your advise and change the cod liver oil to omega 3 fish oil . Can i take 1000 mg omega 3 fish oil or should take less than 500mg? - Vitamin B - Boots pharmacy company - I take because i got headache sometime like around eye pain when i work in computer. - Probitoics - Bio kult probiotics - I take ecause i had appendix operation in 2010 after that i had some problems in digestive tract. even now if i dont drink enough water, i don't have easy bowel movement.
Avatar f tn Foods like salmon and sardines with their healthy portions of omega-3 fatty acids make the list, as does anti-oxidant rich spinach. While portion control is important, when it comes to non-starchy vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, kale and spinach there's no need to limit yourself. You'll never gain weight from eating too much of these veggies, so fill up your plate!
Avatar f tn Anyone has had any experience or heard more in depth knowledge with Omega-3 helping with Bipolar symptoms. From what I have read it mostly helps with mood swings. I'm trying to help my husband get well (of course he'll keep using Mood Stabilizer). But anything new that works and can bring about change/ better productive life.
Avatar f tn Hi to eevryone! Your cardiologist may not know it, but flax oil hardly converts to omega-3's; only 2% at best of the omega-3 linolenic acid component is converted to the useful omega-3 fats DHA and EPA, and that is IF there are no omega-6 fats competing for uptake. Other than that, the linolenic acid in flax oil has no known use in the body, and flax oil obviously has shortcomings by containing a relatively high amount of inflammatory omega-6 linoleic acid.
Avatar n tn Hi, Firstly, you need to avoid foods which are rich in sodium like fast foods, pickles, soy sauce, Chinese foods. Potassium also needs to be decreased by reducing the intake of nuts, fruits like bananas, peaches,oranges,apricots. The dark cola drinks also need to be avoided as they are rich in phosphorus which tends to accumulate.
Avatar m tn New evidence indicates omega-3 fatty acids found in salmon and other foods may work with two blood-thinners to reduce the risk of heart attack in stent patients.
Avatar f tn It is unknown whether doses of omega-3 smaller than those given previously are still effective. The aim of the study was to examine the effect of omega-3 therapy on renal vascular function in relation to proteinuria and urinary excretion of N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (NAG). 20 IgA Nephropathy patients aged 36.5 +/- 10 with creatinine clearance (Cr(cl)) 105 +/- 27 ml/min and proteinuria 3 +/- 2 g/24 h were given orally 810 mg EPA and 540 mg DHA daily for 12 months.
Avatar m tn Carefully check your diet for inflammatory foods as well, and elimiate any intolerances you have (get off gluten and dairy for an extended period). Would also recommend a good Omega 3 EFA supplement.
1655526 tn?1330655629 I know that omega 3 is really supposed to be good for the heart, but I get palps after I take them for 3 days, especially krill oil. I've read in this forum that others have also had adverse reactions to taking this supplement. So I wanted to put this poll out to see how omega 3 affects you. The first time I suspected krill oil, which is supposed to be the best omega 3, I used the process of elimination. Still not believing it I did it a second and third time.
Avatar m tn I took an Omega-3 supplement for the first time before going to bed last night, and when I woke up one eye was very swollen and puffy. The only allergies I have had are seasonal. Could I be allergic to the Omega-3 supplement?

Colors: blue violet, blue-green Animals: dogs, horses, dolphins, parrots, penguins Things to do: taekwondo, horseback riding, hiking, playing with my son, spending time with my immediate family Foods: homemade mashed potatoes, spaghetti, salmon, eggplant, apples (with peanut butter!
Avatar f tn 1 ratio of Omega-3:Omega-6. I get plenty of O-sixes from my diet (they are easy for most of us) but don't eat nearly enough foods rich in O-threes to keep a good ratio going. Therefore, I supplement heavy on the Omega-3 side. That makes my supplements a bit more expensive but why go cheap if I end up paying for an overabundance of what I already have and remain deprived of what I need? Luckily, flax seed is an excellent alternative to fish oil when you're considering quality OR cost.
