Omega 3, A Medical Miracle
Leave your drugs in the chemist's pot if you can heal the
patient with food." Hippocrates. Lately we have all heard so
much about omega 3, and its many health benefits. When I turn my
radio on in the morning, there are at least 3 Omega 3
advertisements in a 1 hour period. Omega-3 fatty acids are
polyunsaturated fatty acids found in certain fish tissues, and
in vegetable sources. A number of years ago, I did not hear of
Omega 3. Well, not to any great extend anyways. Today, Omega 3
is mentioned on radio shows and television shows. It is written
about in newspapers and magazines. And as is so often quoted,
boy did our moms who fed us cod liver oil know what they were
doing; even if they did not recognize the exact scientific
reason behind it. I research this topic with great interest.
Here are some facts and figures to make you take note. Various
scientific studies have now linked omega-3 fatty acids with a
reduction in the risk of developing deadly diseases such as
cancer, heart disease, and most recently Alzheimer's. And, in
the anti inflammation fight, once again, Dr. Barry Sears leads
the way in the science of human nutrition with his new
breakthrough book, "The Anti-Inflammation Zone" in which he
uncovers a new way to define wellness. The absence of silent
inflammation. In this book, Dr. Sears answers critical
questions: What is Silent Inflammation What causes this offender
How do you know if you have it Why is it a curse to your health.
How you can reduce it. We often hear of people having heart
attacks out of the blue and dying instantly. Some of these heart
attacks may have been averted if certain health conditions were
known beforehand. Pro self help in health care is one of the
biggest advantages we can give ourselves.
But how do you know if you really need this important
supplement and how would you know what you are taking is
working? The Omega 3 Profile + blood test provides the answers.
The Omega 3 Profile + provides the data you need to: Reduce your
risk of dying of a heart attack by 70% Reduce your risk of
developing heart disease by 32% Control silent inflammation -
which can lead to deadly diseases such as Alzheimer's, Cancer,
ADD, and Arthritis if left uncontrolled Increase circulation
Show you if you are getting enough omega-3's from your diet The
Omega 3 Profile + (a complete Essential Fatty Acid panel) is a
specialized test offered exclusively by Your Future Health
(YFH). This is the same test featured in Dr. Barry Sears' book,
the Omega Rx Zone. The Omega 3 Profile + does not require a
physician's order and is strongly recommended for anyone who
takes a pro-active approach to wellness. More importantly, you
can positively change this bio-marker, and your future, in less
than 30 days. A pre-alert today could have a dramatic impact on
your future health and longevity. There is no doubt that the
omega-3 fatty acids are essential to health. They are
fundamental molecules in the structure and activity of the
membranes of all cells throughout the body. They also have
highly specialized functions in neurological tissues, especially
the brain and retina. Because of their role in cell membranes,
omgega-3 fatty acids are essential for the formation of new
tissue and are therefore important for development and growth.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids (EPA/DHA) are Among the Most Powerful
Nutrients Available to Help Reduce Silent Inflammation. History
has shown and scientists have found that the Eskimos of
Greenland suffered very little from coronary heart disease
despite a diet very high in fat. The primary source of fat in
their diet came from sea mammals, which contain high amounts of
long-chain omega-3 fatty acids. The American Heart Association
recommends healthy people eat omega-3 fatty acids from fish and
plant sources to protect their hearts. I came across this
information while researching Omega 3. "News release, American
College of Cardiology" The inflammation-fighting effects of
omega-3 fatty acids may be the key behind fish's heart-healthy
benefits, according to a new study. Dr. Barry Sears has been
writing about this very topic for years. Researchers found
inflammation markers, such as C-reactive protein and others,
were up to a third lower in people who ate at least 10 ounces of
fish per week compared with those didn't eat fish. The more fish
the people ate, especially fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids such
as salmon, mackerel, and tuna, the lower their level of markers
of inflammation in the bloodstream. The omega-3s have proven
physical health benefits, and now they are also demonstrating
impressive results in the treatment of mental imbalance leading
to anti-social behavior, learning difficulties, schizophrenia
and depression.
The human brain is unique within the animal world in that it
forms a greater proportion of body weight than in other species.
It is also unique in its composition. Of the solid (non-water)
matter in the brain 60% is fat, or lipid, and of that,
polyunsaturates form the biggest component. We are now learning
that diet can alter brain composition and brain function.
A fish-rich diet helps keep the mind sharp. Previous studies
found that people who ate fish lowered their risk of Alzheimer's
disease and stroke. Fish such as salmon and tuna that are rich
in omega-3 fatty acids also have been shown to prevent heart
disease.
