Omega-3 fatty acids are essential fats, and many people aren’t getting enough of them. Fish oil and cod-liver oil are great ways to boost your omega-3 intake. Cod-liver oil also contains vitamins A and D, making it a particularly nutrient-dense option. Food sources of omega-3s include fatty fish, sardines, grass-fed beef, organ meats, and eggs.
Two of the most important omega-3s are EPA and DHA. EPA can help reduce inflammation, while DHA supports brain health and cognitive function.
Omega-3 fatty acids help support the following:
• Dry eyes
• Dermatitis
• Arthritis
• Macular degeneration
• Arrhythmias
• High blood pressure
• Fatty liver
Omega-3s also support calcium absorption and may even help promote better sleep.

Does it seem like water isn’t quenching your thirst? There are two main reasons this can happen: You may not be drinking enough fluid, or you may have low blood volume. Low blood volume is the more common scenario.
Low blood volume is one of the most common causes of excessive thirst. Drinking more water can actually make the problem worse, leaving you with constant thirst.
To retain enough fluid and maintain healthy blood volume, you need adequate salt.
Low sodium and low blood volume symptoms include:
• Feeling dizzy or unstable when standing up quickly
• Persistent thirst, especially at night
• Fatigue, weak muscles, or cramping
• Poor sleep
• Headaches
• Feeling cold
• Constipation
• Dark urine
• Dry mouth and dry eyes
You need around 3000 to 4000 mg of sodium each day to maintain healthy hydration levels. This is equal to about 1½ to 2 teaspoons of salt per day. If you’re an athlete or physically active, you may need more.

Compare natural vs. synthetic vitamins, and why it matters here: https://drbrg.co/4e51Awf
Did you know an 18,000-person clinical trial involving beta-carotene and lung cancer was stopped early after participants taking the supplement had worse outcomes?
Beta-carotene is a precursor to vitamin A, but the beta-carotene used in the study was synthetic. Get beta-carotene from food sources for the best results and to avoid potential negative side effects.
Synthetic vitamin E may be okay short term, but with long-term use it can contribute to oxidative stress. Synthetic vitamin A can also create problems, including competing with vitamin D at the receptor level, increasing the risk of birth defects during pregnancy, and increasing the risk of bone fractures. Get vitamin A from foods like egg yolks and cod liver oil.
Other synthetic vitamins and supplements to avoid include:
• Pyridoxine hydrochloride
• Calcium carbonate
• Ergocalciferol
Too much iron can also be damaging to the body, so focus on food sources of iron when possible to avoid consuming too much.

Our bodies have evolved to store body fat around the midsection as a survival mechanism. There are 9 times more receptors for fat storage than fat burning in this area. Adrenaline helps activate the fat-burning process, which can help shift the body from storing belly fat to burning it.
High insulin levels can prevent you from losing belly fat. Fasting for 20 hours a day can help lower insulin to your baseline. A HIIT workout during your fast can significantly increase adrenaline to boost belly fat loss. Weight training combined with HIIT can stimulate even more adrenaline.
To reduce visceral fat, it’s critical to lower insulin, which is why 20-hour fasting can be a powerful way to stimulate visceral fat loss.
There are also more cortisol receptors around the midsection than in other areas of the body, so chronic stress could be another reason you’re having trouble losing belly fat. Adequate sleep, sunlight exposure, and avoiding food for three hours before bed are also important for losing belly fat.
If you want to lose belly fat, it’s vital to avoid industrial palm oil, seed oils, sugar, and starches.
