Do you eat fresh fish every week? Did you know your body can’t make DHA & EPA — you can’t get these particular fatty acids from your regular food, vegetables, fruits or nuts either.
So if you don’t eat fish or take fish oil supplements your missing out on helping your body and brain get what it needs every day to be healthy and maintain an optimal functioning level.
It seems lots of people are not very keen on eating fish and prefer red meats, unfortunately if you eat too much fatty meat and other foods high in saturated fats — “it is very bad” for your health and your likely to put on weight.
Fish oil fatty acid on the other hand is a polyunsaturated fat, which is “good for you” because it helps to lower your triglycerides and balance your cholesterol.
As you get older cholesterol can become one of your biggest enemies and issues that contributes to clogging up your arteries and reducing blood flow, which can cause clotting.
Now we all know what happens when you get clots! If they decide to move into a vital organ like your heart — you can have a heart attack, or into your brain — you will more than likely have a stroke. I don’t know about you but I think a stroke, paralysis and loss of capability would be a worse outcome than a heart attack. However I would rather avoid both.
The trouble with us humans is we always think it will “never happen to us” — of course until it’s too late and “it happens”. Then if we don’t die from the heart attack or stroke our lives change dramatically which can also have a detrimental effect on our loved ones.
Taking fish oil supplements every day is the easy lazy way to get some essential omega-3 DHA and EPA fatty acids into your system. If you don’t like or can’t be bothered eating fatty fish 3 times a week… fish oil supplementation is the simple answer.
Give your body all the help and nutrients it needs to maintain good health. Fish oil helps to balance your cholesterol, reduces triglycerides and helps increase good HDL.
Take it daily to help look after your arteries and fight inflammation the silent killer.
The longer you can keep off cholesterol lowering statin drugs like Zocor and Zimstat the better. Omega-3 fatty acids are also beneficial in controlling your blood pressure and many more vital body functions.
