UK kids asking for Omega 3? A positive new trend as Omega 3 Awareness Day approaches.

World Omega 3 Day on the 3rd March 2011 is a great opportunity for everyone to spread the word about the fantastic benefits of Omega 3, to ensure that you and your family enjoy a healthier future.

It is now scientifically established that Omega 3 offers a wide range of health benefits, including improving brain health, boosting the immune system and helping prevent diseases such as dementia, diabetes, arthritis, strokes and heart disease. Omega 3 also aids muscle repair after athletic injury, helps with depression, ADD, bi-polar disorder and overall mood. Of particular interest to parents of young children and people who do not like fish, is a new Omega 3 SuperFood product called Ideal Omega Taste, which is fish oil that does not contain a fishy taste or an oily consistency. Taste is available in a range of mouth-watering flavours and a squeeze-a-day is all need to get an essential dose of high quality Omega 3. It is delicious for everyone, especially kids, and they always want more. ‘Many people dislike the taste of fish or find capsules difficult to swallow’ explains HealthyandEssential.com’s Candy Gardner ‘so for these people, the answer is Taste.’ ‘Taste has the texture of a ‘sauce’, which you can mix into smoothies, yoghurt, porridge or you can have a squeeze straight from the spoon because it is that delicious. It keeps well in the freezer, it is a real product innovation and we hope to see more people getting the Omega 3 they need in the way that suits them.’ Taste is available in Mango Peach with added Vitamin D, Lemon Zest (both made from fish oil), Strawberry Banana (made from flax oil and suitable for vegetarians) and Pomegranate Blueberry (made from flax oil, borage and algal oil and 100% vegan). Candy continues ‘Our business is good health and we see Taste as a ‘SuperFood’ which can help people maintain a healthy lifestyle, which is what the Omega 3 Awareness Day is all about. Omega 3 is vital for good health, as our bodies cannot produce it and we can only obtain it by our food consumption. Mass food processing and modern diets mean that most people are deficient in Omega 3 and need to up their intake of this super nutrient. We have also added to the Taste range, which has been developed especially for vegetarians and vegans so that everyone can increase their Omega 3 intake, however; it can never be an answer in itself.’ Taste is available online via www.healthyandessential.com and in a number of health food outlets throughout the country.
