Fish Oil, if you're not supplementing with it, you should be. I'll give you the short list of reasons.

• Fish oil stimulates blood circulation, increases the breakdown of fibrin, a compound involved in clot and scar formation, and additionally has been shown to reduce blood pressure. That's good news if you have a circulation problem, like vericose veins.
• Can lower your cholesterol, and decreased risk in subsequent heart attacks, and improved survival rate of heart attacks.
  
• Recent studies have suggested that fish oil may reduce the risk of depression, and importantly, suicide risk.
• Omega-3 Fatty Acid exert neuroprotective action against Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease.Overall anti-inflammatory properties, good for recovering from our WODs.
