Omega 3

I am a strong advocate of Omega 3 fats in addition to other supplementation. I was advised today of a concise refresher on Omega 3 fats on the South Beach Diet site the link is:

Omega-3s are essential fats that must be obtained through diet or supplementation. The human body does not have the ability to manufacture them. Two types are called EPA and DHA for short. and are found in cold water fish such as tuna and salmon. These fats are effective in reducing inflammation and preventing the formation of blood clots. There is a third type called ALA which is found in plant sources such as flaxseed, conola oil and dark leafy vegetables. ALA has been shown to lower the "bad" cholesterol and as such its thought that an ALA rich diet may lower the risk of heart attack.

The best way to increase your intake of omega 3s is by eating at least two servings of fish per week and to add leafy greens and flaxseed or canola oil to your diet. Dr Agatston also believes you should take fish oil supplementation daily. He recommends one to two grams of EPAnad DHA daily. People with high triglycerides may need more perhaps 4 grams daily.

Be aware though that some people with certain medical conditions such as those taking anticoagulants and those with bleeding disorders or uncontrolled hypertension should consult with their doctors before taking fish oil supplements. Also note certain fish , including swordfish, king mackerel, and tilefish contain high levels of mercury. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant and nursing mothers and children should avoid fish with high mercury.

Study Shows Supplementation Lowers Health Costs

A recent comprehensive review of exisitng scientific research found positive health effects associated with both omega-3 fatty acids and the carotenoids, luten and zeaxanthin. Researchers crittically reviewed the scintific evidence of the two supplements ability to reduce the risk of disease and developed estimates of potential health savings. With health care costs skyrocketing and the age of the populations increasing, helping seniors live independently for longer is becoming increasingly important.

The study looked at several hundreds studies dating back over thirty years and arrived at a potential savings of some 3.1 Billion dollars over the next five years with the daily use of omega 3 fatty acids. They estimated that the reduction in coronary disease in the elderly population would result in 384,303 fewer hospitalizations and physicians fees.

If you are alone and having a heart attack Do this!

My brother Gary forwarded an interesting computer video to me via email. I'd attach it if I knew how. But the gist of it was this. Imagine you are driving home from work and realize that you are having a Heart attack. You're alone and while you know how to give CPR, you don't know how to give it to yourself. Your best bet is to begin to begin a very serious bout of coughing. Coughing about every two seconds while taking a deep breath between each cough. Cough hard, as if you were trying to cough up gunk from the deepest part of your lungs. The deep breath helps draw in oxygen, the hard cough serves to squeeze your heart. Keep it up until you can find help. Not easy to do, but much better than panic...and it may save your own life. Share this with everyone you know.
