   A combination Omega 3 and exercise led to reductions in fat mass by about 1.5 kg, as well as improving heart health markers, says a new study from Australia.The study adds to an ever-growing list of potential health benefits from the omega-3, which has been identified as one of the super-nutrients taking the food and supplements industry by storm.

Essential Nutrients for our Children

The latest information based on extensive research by the Omega-3 Centre focusing on children, has shown that Omega-3s found in oily fish such as salmon are extremely beneficial in a number of ways for children. This is of particular interest as a range of health problems among New Zealand children is being partly attributed to diets lacking oily fish and other foods rich in long chain omega-3s.

This dietary shortfall in Omega-3 is causing concern for health experts who recommend that growing children should increase their intake of omega-3s by as much as five times their current level. The evidence supporting the benefits of Omega-3 is strong enough to suggest healthcare professionals should consider omega-3s as an adjunct in the treatment of children with developmental brain disorders such as ADHD, dyslexia and dyspraxia. Long-chain omega-3s are required by every cell in the body and are essential nutrients for a number of key health functions with an important role in brain growth, development, behaviour, learning and bone health.
