Reading through Oxygen magazine I discovered proof that I need to go to the grocery store and pick up 4 ounces of salmon for tomorrow’s dinner.  The fat in salmon may actually prevent your body from holding onto fat in places you don’t want it.
According to Dr. Susan Kleiner, of Oxygen’s advisory board member, there is no question that two specific essential fatty acids in fish oil, EPA and DHA, have anti-obesity properties. While human studies have yet to be conclusive, animal studies have shown that these omega-3s trigger several anti-obesity processes. “There are some studies that indicate omega-3s enhance the efficiency of leptin,” says Kleiner, “one of the hormones that tells us when to stop eating.” Leptin is actually produced by fat cells, which then sends a signal to your brain to suppress hunger.
