Ever Heard of a Fizzy Omega 3's Beverage?

Omega 3 supplements in the form of fish oil capsules are very common, but it can have that intense fish aroma. This has always been my reservation about fish oil capsules and when I take time I make sure it's as close to bedtime as possible. After having a few capsules "fishy breath" and fish infused belgies abound! Not the ideal situation for a social event or a passionate kiss!

How nice would it be to reap all the benefits of Omega 3's from fish oil without the "fishiness". Well new innovations from Nordic Naturals is making this possible. They have developed a new way to take fish oil supplements through a water-soluble, effervescent drink mix in an orange flavor which you add to water.

Each packet of the supplement contains 500 mg of EPA and DHA and 1200 IU of Vitamin D. The fish oil used is cod live oil from Arctic cod from the Norwegian Waters.

The "fizzy" fish oil solution is also better absorbed more quickly into the bloodstream and is easier on the stomach. According to the company the product is not oily, does not smell or taste fishy. Well that certainly picked my interest enough to put this innovative product on my Wish List. I'm definitely willing to give this one a try. If you want to learn more about the product be sure to check out Nordic Naturals and begin drinking your omegas as their website title says.


NOTE: I'm not affiliated with Nordic Naturals in any way, but I feel this innovative idea should be shared. I feel that "healthy" and "good for you" shouldn't make you miserable and certainly should be as appealing as possible taste-wise. Therefore I am more than happy to share a product which seems to accomplish this, gives you options, and helps you accomplish a more enjoyable eating experience.

Olive Oil Is Only One of the Good Oils Out There

As wonderful as olive oil is, there are several other equally beneficial oils to aid in optimal health. Each of these oils have their own unique properties and qualities and include:

Canola Oil: In addition to omega 6's, canola oil contains a beneficial amount of omega 3 fatty acids. It has a relatively high smoke point of 375 degrees F which makes it ideal for multiple cooking methods including frying, sauteing and baking.

*NOTE: The Smoke Point is the temperature at which oil begins to break down letting off smoke fumes and an odor. Vegetable oils generally have higher smoke points than other oils.

Hemp Oil: Besides a proportionate amount of omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids, hemp oil contains Gamma-Linoleic acid which aids in skin health. It has a smoke point of 330 degrees F and is more ideal for low to medium heat cooking and pouring over salads and using in marinades.

Walnut Oil: High in antioxidants with a smoke point of 350 degrees F suitable for medium heat cooking.

Flaxseed Oil: High in omega 3's and not suitable for cooking. Can be using in health shakes, marinades, salad dressings, baking.

Coconut Oil: This oil is unique in that it contains capric acid and lauric acid only found in breast milk. Both substances have anti-viral and anti-microbial properties. Coconut oil has a smoke point of 280 degrees F and is suitable for medium-heat cooking. It can also replace butter or margarine in cooking.

Avocado Oil: Not only is this oil a good monounsaturated fat source which helps reduce heart disease, cancer and diabetes, but it has one of the highest smokepoints of all oils at 550 degrees F. Therefore it can be used for high heat cooking and frying.

Choose the oil which suits your cooking needs best, but remember that you have options, so explore them all.
