4 Hidden Benefits of Omega-3s For Seniors (Stay Asleep All Night)
You probably know that Omega-3s have a whole host of benefits for your heart, brain, and other parts of your body. But what you probably didn’t know is that they can also have a huge impact on sleep quality and duration.
We often don’t think about Omega-3s when it comes to sleep because instead we usually focus on things like Magnesium and Vitamin D. After all, those two have such a tremendous impact on sleep that they are a great starting point for troubleshooting your issues. But if you’ve tried both of those and are still struggling with sleep, it’s worth seeing if Omega-3s could help you out.
So in this video, I’m going to cover HOW Omega-3s can impact your sleep, how MUCH you should be taking, WHEN you should be taking them, and weighing the pros and cons of the kinds you should be looking for.
