We all know how important omega-3 essential fats are for our general health and for improving the muscle growth. These are “details” you probably don’t know but are important for you if you want maximize your muscle building and weight loss results. This is really important for as all to know about.
You see, not all omega-3 essential fats will help you build muscle mass. Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) is the omega-3 fat that is proved by research to promote muscle anabolism (growth) via at least three important pathways.
1). Muscle breakdown is strongly reduced by EPA. Do you know how EPA blocks muscle breakdown? Lets take simple explanation here. EPA reduces the activity of the major pathway which is causing destruction of the muscle proteins and therefore it results in loss of muscle mass. Proper supplementation with EPA helps prevent excessive muscle protein breakdown during heavy training programs.
2). EPA is particularly effective in reducing excess inflammation within muscle and connective tissue. Although inflammation is an essential part of immune system activation, to intense inflammation produced by intense exercise can result in slow recovery, chronic joint pain and muscle tissue loss. Reducing excess inflammation within muscle and connective tissue empowers you with best response to resistance training in terms of recovery from exercise. Now there is one more thing to explain about EPA. Do you ever heard about prostaglandins? No? Off course, most of us never care about such terms. In same time we are all the time influenced from those “prostag..whatever”.
