The Athlete and Primrose Oil

In almost every nutrition and herbal store, evening primrose oil is marketed as a treatment for a wide range of medical illnesses. The major ingredient in primrose oil is omega 6 fatty acid (gamma linolenic acid). The major use of primrose is in the use of disorders where the defect is metabolic or biochemical. Despite its availability for over 2 decades, there is very little scientific data to back up any of the claims made by the vendors of the product.

Benefits of Fish Oil on Your Health and Fitness

Fats get a bad name among health-conscious individuals. What they are failing to realize is that all fats are not bad. Good fats actually do exist. Completely eradicating fats from your diet would actually be detrimental to your long term health.

Essential fatty acids are divided into two groups, Omega-6 and Omega-3, and need to be incorporated into your daily diets. Omega-6 EFAs are found in vegetable oils and Omega-3 EFAs are found in a variety of fish and other foods. A study in the early 1970s revealed that Greenland Eskimos rarely suffered from heart disease due to their high fish, high-fat diets.
