In magazines, newspapers, on radio, television and the internet you hear there are real benefits of fish oil.
But have you ever wondered just what those are? Science has come to believe that the primary cause of all major disease is inflammation.
Be it Heart disease, Cancer, Alzheimer's, Arthritis or other chronic diseases.
The search is under way for a way to reduce inflammation in the human body as a means to prevent and treat these diseases.
Well the number one non-medical treatment for doing this is omega-3 fish oil.
So what are the fish oil benefits? Heart health - Omega-3 fish oil is known to reduce high levels of triglycerides in blood and reduce inflammation in arterial system and the heart muscle itself.
Brain health - a lack of these oils is linked to Depression, Alzheimer's and Dementia.
Arthritis - is severe inflammation of the joints - omega-3s are an outstanding anti-inflammatory and really help.
Bowel Disease - is a result of severe and prolonged inflammation and the oil from fish helps a great deal.
Pregnant Women - clinical testing has proven beyond a reasonable doubt (to quote and off cited legal term) the absolute necessity for omega-3 oils for a developing fetus.
Especially in regard to brain development! The most potent omega-3s come from fish.
It is the one that does the best job of reducing inflammation and improving brain function as well.
All this can sound a little scary -the idea of eating fish each and every day.
The fish oil part sounds great but what about all those warnings about eating too much fish, especially for pregnant women and small children? It is a reasonable and legitimate concern.
And what if you are one of those who really don't like eating fish at all? What about you? Did you know there is omega-3 fish oil available as a supplement? I know you do! But did you know that has been tested for foreign toxins and a system known as "Molecular distillation" is available to reduce any and all conceivable toxins to "Undetectable Levels".
This process absolutely ensures fish oil safety.
Here's the problem -not every fish oil maker uses this system to ensure the safety and quality of their product! Not every manufacturer is concerned with the source for their oil! Like where was the fish taken from--heavily polluted waters like the North Sea or the pristine waters near New Zealand? What part of the fish went to make up the oil - internal organs like the liver? (A real NO NO) or from the flesh and skin of the fish only? Finding a manufacturer that takes these steps and still presents omega-3 at a reasonable price can be challenge but they are out there! They do exist.
