0:00.0 | What would happen if you started consuming omega-3 fish oils for 30 days? |
0:07.4 | That's a topic I want to educate people on because omega-3 fatty acids are essential. That means |
0:13.5 | that our bodies can't make them, but we need them. And 70% of the entire population is deficient in |
0:21.2 | omega-3. And I'm going to tell you why they are deficient. And I'm also going to tell you what |
0:25.5 | what would happen if you started putting these omega-3s back into the body. And you can do it |
0:30.2 | through several ways. Fish oils. Fish oil is one way. I prefer cod different oil because it also |
0:37.7 | has two additional things like vitamin D and vitamin A, both which are not infest oils. You don't |
0:44.8 | want to buy a fish oil based on cost because you're going to basically get rancid fish oils. |
0:50.0 | And they're going to cause more harm than good. This is because fish oils are highly susceptible to |
0:56.5 | being oxidized. But of course, the best thing to do is to consume actual fatty fish, |

1:21.2 | into EPA and DHA. EPA primarily helps you reduce inflammation, okay? And a lot of people have |
1:29.2 | inflammation and you can have inflammation in the joints. So it helps with arthritis. You can |
1:33.9 | have inflammation in the heart. So it can help with your heart. And then you have something called |
1:38.2 | DHA, which is really good for your brain. In fact, your brain is made up of 20% DHA. |
1:46.4 | And I'm talking about the gray matter, the cerebral cortex. This is why fish oils are really good |
1:51.2 | for memory, cognitive function, attention, focus, learning. Really good for kids yet. Many kids |
1:59.9 | don't consume fish or fish oils. But there is a reason why your parents or your grandmother |
2:04.9 | gave you cod liver oil because that's more of a well-known remedy for so many things. A lot of |
