Mindsip insights from this episode:

Boost strength with omega-3 supplementation

A meta-analysis shows omega-3 fat supplementation increases muscle strength, even in studies that showed no effect on muscle mass.

#omega-3

#strength

Acknowledge mild effects of omega-3 fats on muscle strength

Even if effective for muscle strength or function, the effects of omega-3 fats are expected to be mild and not a cure for muscle atrophy.

#muscle

#omega-3

Consume 1.4 to 1.5 grams of omega-3s for strength benefits

In studies that did show an effect, the baseline amount of omega-3 fat consumption was around 1.4 to 1.5 grams of DHA and EPA combined.

Enhance neuromuscular junction with omega-3s for better muscle activation

A well-accepted theory is that omega-3s improve the neuromuscular junction, which is how neurons activate muscle cells, rather than directly affecting the muscle cell itself.
