A basic understanding of a daily diet including dietary fat should be a key aspect of an amateur bodybuilders knowledge set. However, I have known several bodybuilders well enough to realize they do not pay this too much attention. They consciously try to eradicate a majority of fat from their diets. To make matters worse, they do not take-in the right kinds of fats, on a daily basis, that their bodies need for maximum health. In this manner key nutrients are not being consumed. Actually, proper nutrition is pivotal due to the intense nature of their training.
We all know about the differences between good and bad fats in our diet. Bodybuilders and the rest of us should make an effort to supplant saturated fats from animals with the more beneficial unsaturated fats. Essential fatty acids such as those found in the Omegas cannot be synthesized by the human body.
Collectively the Omega acids are known as EFA's or the Essential Fatty Acids. Wild salmon and tuna are an outstanding source of the polyunsaturated Omega 3s essential fatty acids. Other sources include flax seeds, walnuts, kiwi fruit and certain meats. Mental functions and cardiovascular wellness are supported by Omega 3 essential fatty acids. Important supplements, such as EFA's, have been focused upon because of their importance in regard to hormone levels. This is something that bodybuilders should certainly be concerned about. However, it is also known that essential fatty acids play an important role with bones and joints. To directly improve the mineralization of bone mass, EFA's must be taken as a regular supplement. Our quality of life is, in part, dependent upon our joint health which should be important to everyone, not just bodybuilders. People that do a great deal of weight training put excessive stress on their joints and therefore are very interested in strengthening their bones.
EFA is a term that identifies the Essential Fatty Acids that are related to the Omega acids. A great way to get more Omega 3 fatty acids in your diet is to consume more wild caught fish. In additional to wild fish, these EFAs can be found in other sources such as certain meats, flax seeds, kiwi, and walnuts, just to name a few. Taking in enough Omega 3s is important for maintaining cardiovascular fitness and mental acuity. Hormone levels are greatly influenced by EFA's and have been a topic of conversation in workout circles. This is something that bodybuilders should certainly be concerned about. However, it is also known that essential fatty acids play an important role with bones and joints. If taken regularly, EFA's can help support the mineralization of bone mass. Our quality of life is, in part, dependent upon our joint health which should be important to everyone, not just bodybuilders. But weight trainers put a great deal of stress on their joints, and anything that helps ensure good support for joint health matters very much.
