Omega 3 For Runners

I was featured in an article in Sustain Health on the Importance Of Omega 3 For Runners – And How To Incorporate It Into Your Diet.

Why is it particularly important for runners to take an Omega 3 supplement?

As a runner, if there’s one thing you want functioning in a normal way, it’s your heart. Running is an excellent form of cardiovascular exercise that really gets the heart pumping. Think of your heart as a muscle and running as the exercise that strengthens that heart muscle.

Omega-3 fatty acids provide specific nutrition, DHA & EPA, that is known to support your heart’s health to help it function normally.

While many researchers are not entirely sure “how” this happens, they do know that it’s important to get the right amount of omega-3 fatty acids into your diet every day. The benefits occur when daily intake is 250 mg of DHA / DHA and EPA.
