Omega 3 - What Do These Nutritional Oils Do?

One of the major reasons people take omega 3 oils is for their cardiovascular system.

Why? Well, omega 3 oils help to emulsify (break up) fats and plaques that build up in our arteries. If we keep these fats emulsified (or broken up into tiny pieces), it's easier for our bodies to get rid of them. And when the body gets rid of the fats in the arteries - blood pressure goes down.

Another way omega 3 fatty acids help lower and maintain healthy blood pressure is by improving the elasticity (the stretchiness) of the arterial walls and reducing the chances of hardening of the arteries.

Now this part is a little technical, but trust me, it's good news. Omega 3 oils react positively with your lipoproteins, they'll lower your total cholesterol, your LDLs (bad cholesterol) and your triglycerides while raising your HDLs (good cholesterol).

Those are all major health markers for a healthy heart and cardiovascular system.

The second major effect fish oils have on your health is by reducing all sorts of inflammation. You can see from the picture that TIME Magazine called inflammation the "Secret Killer".

And, whether your inflammation is acute or chronic,the omega 3 fatty acids from fish oil contain the nutrients you need to regulate your body's inflammatory response AND prevent it from getting out of control.

This means omega 3s can help reduce the pain and symptoms of things like arthritis, cystitis, bursitis, sinusitis, tendonitis, prostatitis, dermatitis or anything that ends in "itis."

And, because of their powerful anti-inflammatory properties, omega 3s can even reduce the frequency, intensity and duration of headaches and migraines.

The Omega 3 oils play a major role in reproduction for both men and women.

Researchers have found that infertile men have sperm cells that are deficient in DHA, one of the fatty acids in fish oils. By increasing their intake of omega 3s, some men have been able to overcome this problem.

For women, the omega 3 oils help to reduce the symptoms associated with PMS. They're also vitally important to the brain development of your baby when you're pregnant and they're a major component of breast milk when you're nursing.

Nutritional studies tell us that fish oils can make a big difference for people who suffer from depression. There are several ways they do this, but one of the main pathways is by increasing seratonin in the brain.

And besides keeping you happy, seratonin also helps you sleep at night.

It's recently been discovered that omega 3 oils will help you lose weight. Scientists point out that fatty acids found in omega 3 fish oils actually cause apoptosis, or cellular death, of pre-fat cells.

That's definitely not a bad side effect to taking omega 3 fish oils.

I've been researching and taking omega 3 oils for the past 15 years. And, as I'm sure you can imagine, I've looked at hundreds of different omega 3 supplements.

But, after all that, there's only one supplement that fits my strict requirements. It's the one I take personally and the only omega 3 supplement that I give to my family.

In fact, I'm so confident in the purity of Salmon Oil Plus, that my children started taking it (on a spoon) when they were just 6 months old.

Here's why I choose and recommend Salmon Oil Plus.

First off, they start with health screened fish that has been quality graded for human consumption. They test all of their sources (salmon, tuna, sardines and anchovies) for over 160 different contaminants BEFORE they're used and the detectable limit must be ZERO or the raw material is ditched.

They've also created an exclusive process called "molecular differentiation," which is nothing like the distillation process. This unique process allows them to distinguish and extract the nutritional components in fish oils while leaving the non-nutritional components, like taste, odor, cholesterol and saturated fats behind.

And the best part of all, it allows them to isolate all 8 members of the omega 3 fatty acid family that are important for human health and nutrition.

Concentrated omega 3s are all you get. No hidden oils, mystery oils, oxidized oils, impurities or toxins - just pure, healthy omega 3 fatty acids.
