| Cardiovascular Benefits
>> General
heart benefits: Heart disease is a widespread health problem
in modern society. Omega 3, rich in omega-3 fatty acids (DHA and
EPA) has been proven in many clinical studies to benefit heart health,
also supported by the American Heart Association guidelines
>> Lowers Triglycerides: The effectiveness of Omega 3 in lowering blood triglycerides (fats)
known to be a risk factor for cardiovascular disease has been well
established in multiple clinical studies. Additionally, research
>> Benefits Hypertension
(High blood pressure): Omega 3 has been shown to lower
mild hypertension when it is due to cardiovascular disease, specifically
high cholesterol and atherosclerosis (hardening of the artery walls).
>> Anti-clotting: Omega 3 helps avoid thrombosis (blood clots) as it prevents platelets
(smallest cells in the blood) to stick together and form blood clots.
>> Reduces Heart Irregularities: Omega 3... especially the DHA content of it has been shown to lower
heart rates and also prevent arrhythmias (disturbances of the normal
rhythm in the heart's beating), thus decreasing the chance of sudden
death by a heart attack.
>> Circulatory problems: Circulatory problems such as varicose veins and Raynaud's disease
benefit from Omega 3. Omega 3 stimulates blood circulation and increases
the breakdown of fibrin, a compound involved in clot and scar formation.
Brain Function Benefits
>> Depression: Persons with mood disorders such as
depression benefit from Omega 3 supplementation. Lack of omega-3
fatty acids and in particular DHA has been linked by researchers
to depression.
>> Aggression: A new study of teenagers has found that Omega 3 and DHA consumption
relates to lower hostility rates in teenagers. Hostility has been
shown to predict the development and manifestation of heart disease.
>> Attention
Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), dyslexia and dyspraxia: Like depression and other mood disorders, persons who suffer from
ADHD, dyslexia and dyspraxia (absence of ability to perform coordinated
skilled movements or clumsiness) benefit from Omega 3 supplementation.
>> Memory,
learning and Alzheimer's Disease: Studies have proven that
omega-3 fatty acids improve brain function and that intake of Omega
3 and DHA is linked to a lowered risk of developing Alzheimer's
disease. Studies suggest that Omega 3 and DHA may protect the nervous
system.
General Health Benefits
>> Allergies
Studies learn that omega-3 fatty acid-intake by mothers during pregnancy
may protect babies against the development of allergies. Omega 3
has been found to protect against symptoms of hay fever, sinus infections,
asthma, food allergies and allergic skin conditions such as hives
and eczema BUY CHIA
>> Skin
disorders and skin health
Skin disorders such as psoriasis have been shown to improve from
Omega 3s. In the skin of persons with psoriasis the amount of compounds
causing inflammation is many times greater than normal. Omega 3
inhibits the production of these inflammatory compounds. Omega 3
improves the health of skin, nails and hair.
>> Arthritis
and gout
Omega 3 supplements have been shown to benefit in rheumatoid arthritis
(RA), and other inflammatory forms of arthritis, such as occurs
in some persons with psoriasis and gout. EPA and DHA in Omega 3
reduce the amount of compounds causing inflammation.
>> Diabetes
Diabetics suffering from non-insulin dependent diabetes or type
II diabetes benefit from Omega 3 supplementation. Research show
that persons who consume 5-10 percent of their dietary energy consumption
in the form of Omega 3, have less insulin resistance.
>> Immune
system and cancer
The intake of Omega 3 has been proven to be beneficial for the body's
immune function. Research has linked intake of Omega 3 to a lowered
risk of breast cancer and prostate cancer.
>> Women's
benefits
The consumption of Omega 3 lowers the risk for cardiovascular disease
and osteoporosis in post-menopausal women. (Pre)Menstrual symptoms
such as menstrual pain are often alleviated from the use of Omega
3 supplementation. Omega-3 fatty acids are converted into pain relieving
substances (prostaglandins type-3) that control contractions of
the uterus, which cause the cramping.
>> Visual
function
Research has shown that consumption of Omega 3 is linked to lowered
risk of age related macular degeneration, an eye condition which
is the leading cause of severe visual loss in people over age 50.
>> Inflammatory
bowel disease
Omega 3 has been proven to be beneficial in intestinal health. Omega
3 has an anti-inflammatory effect in inflammatory bowel disease
(Ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease). |
