Omega-3

Recent investigation have found that the daily ingestion of a group of polyunsaturated fatty acids called Omega provides great health benefits, principally to the cardiovascular system. it helps prevent problems of the cardiac and circulatory systems like arteriosclerosis, high blood pressure, heart attacks and embolism. There are other combinations of oils in this Omega group named, Omega-3, and Omega-9.
One of the principal fatty acids is Omega-3 (liloleic acid) as well as Omega-9 (oleic acid), which along with Omega-3 have wonderful therapeutic properties.
The Greenland Eskimos and the Pacific Northwest groups, who consume large amounts of fish, rarely develop coronary artery disease and have a reduced risk of heart-attacks. The Eskimos have very low levels of LDL (Low Density Lipoprotien).
It has been found that Eskimos and fishermen who eat a large amount of fish have fewer heart problems, fewer problems with diabetes, high blood pressure and cases of cancer that people whose diet contains a high consumption of polyunsaturated fatty acids contained in cold water fish and other marine animals.

A mix of these fatty acids, Omega 3, and 9 gives us a highly efficient combination for the reduction of cholesterol and triglycerides, improving general health by helping to:
1. Reduce the risk of cardiovascular problems because it reduces cholesterol in the blood.
2. Avoid deposits of cholesterol on the arterial walls.
3. Reduce the level of triglycerides in the blood, (fats that are strongly implicated in obesity and heart attacks, strokes.)
4. Reduce the risk of thrombosis.
5. Helps to normalize blood pressure.
6. Eases symptoms of premenstrual syndrome.
7. Slows the advantage of multiple sclerosis.
8. Slows the effect from the consumption of alcoholic beverages.
9. Slows the growth of cancerous tumors.
10. Increases the mobility of blood cells.
11. Helps avoid blood clots, making platelets less sticky.
12. Prevents the development of rheumatoid arthritis.
13. Helps to combat skin disorders like Psoriasis and Eczema.
