OMEGA weight loss: eat these 10 foods to lose weight

In addition to promoting brain development and protecting eye health, did you know that OMEGA can also help with weight loss? The OMEGA weight loss method was developed by Simopoulos of the Center for Genetics, Nutrition and Health in Washington, DC. According to the British Daily Mail, previous research conducted by the University of South Australia has confirmed that regular intake of OMEGA can help lose weight.

Omega 3 high-quality fat intake source

According to research results from the University of South Australia, long-term intake of sufficient OMEGA3 unsaturated fatty acids can reduce body fat and weight, and OMEGA3 will be converted into EPA and DHA in the body. Both can help lower blood cholesterol, stabilize blood pressure, reduce allergies and inflammation, and enhance immunity. They are excellent sources of fat.

The resulting OMEGA diet integrates this concept of nutritional intake and emphasizes healthy weight loss through long-term dietary adjustments. On average, if you follow the principles for about a month, you can lose 2.5 kilograms.
