Do you take fish oil?

I'm not a freak of the universe, so no.

 

[animalia]

wtf @ yes votes

 

[Chode Messiah]

:barf;

 

[Flyback]

Yep. I would eat fish, but I have an irrational problem with seafood of all varieties.

I'm not buying it any longer, though. Have ~40 days worth left.

I eat lots of walnuts each day, which are very high in omega-3 fatty acids. I'd rather eat it as-is in a natural form as opposed to some extract.

What about garlic?

 

[Orsorum]

Yes, I take two fish oil caplets every evening (so I don't have fish breath throughout the day). Get a big container of them for $6 or so from Costco, lasts me just under a year. Omega 3 fatty acids FTW.

 

[monk3y]

I consume enough fish not to take any. I tend to have fish at least twice a week.

While it is healthy, I don't go there

Are you trying to become healthier in general? If so, check out the book "SuperFoods Rx". It covers 14 very healthy foods including: beans, blueberries, broccoli, oats, oranges, pumpkin, salmon, soy, spinach, tea, tomatoes, turkey, walnuts and yogurt.

In my day-to-day eating I tend to consume 5-7 of them on average.

Also, regular sleep pattern, cardiovascular exercise and lifting weights together blends into a healthier you. Food is an important aspect, but there are definitely other factors such as these to consider.

I consider myself incredibly healthy.

I work out about 4-5 times per week, including running and swimming. I have a muscle condition so I can't lift weights, but I do push ups, sit ups, crunches, squats, etc. etc. (anything with my own weight).

I eat fairly right... high protein, fruit, veggies, NO sweets or packaged goods or anything like that.

 

[Xyclone]

Yes. I take Fish Oil and Flaxseed Oil tablets every day. They're very healthy for you, so why not?

 

[MiniDoom]

Garlic, fish oil, multi-vitamin, melatonin, sometimes. For the cost it, who knows if it really helps, but it?s worth it I guess.

It seems like somebody is always trying to sell me snake oil. It must be very popular.

 

[CFster]

Yes. The Omega 3s in fish oil have been proven to lower triglycerides. As well as a number of other maladies.

I'd rather pop several fish oil tablets a day than go on cholesterol medication.

 

[Chaotic42]

No, I take flax seed oil which is somewhat comparable.

It's delicious

 

[Nutdotnet]

Currently no. During my "bodybuilding" years I would take 16, 1 gram capsules @ once...my breath was AWFUL!

 

[LordMaul]

Yes, every morning I take:

1500mg Vitamin C chewables
B-Complex caplet
Multivitamin caplet
Flaxseed Oil caplet
Omega-3 Fish oil caplet

Keep them in the freezer.

No more bad breath/fish burp issues.

Really? That's good to know! The burps were awful...just like burpin up fish! ha! (I'm Alaskan, I've eaten LOTS of fish...still do.)

 

[cipher00]

Yes. Increases HDL, can lower LDL. Garlic has not been substantiated as a help.

Interesting crap out there. My current favorite is glutathione, which is quite helpful, but useless if ingested: your cells must make it themselves.

 

[FeuerFrei]

Yeah I take it now.
Hopefully get the benefits of fish without gobbling a bunch of fishy flavored meat.
Hasn't affect my breath.

 

[BoomerD]

Not unless it's surrounded by the flesh of the fish...

 

[tweakmm]

Yes.

I take a handfull of suplements most every morning.
2 Multi-vitamin tabs
1 Vitamin-C tab
1 Vitamin-E cap
2 B complex tabs
6 Lecethin caps
1 Coenzyme Q10 cap
2 Flavonoid anti-oxidant caps
2 Fish-oil caps (if I remember to, I take a few before I go to bed)
~900mg piracetam

Once my supply of fish-oil caps run out I'm gonna switch to the straight flaxseed oil that comes in a bottle.
