Fish Oil Capsules Can Benefit Your Health

Have you thought about adding fish oil capsules to your health regimen?  Have you heard about the amazing health benefits of Omega 3s?

I used to take fish oil capsules for awhile - years ago - and then I stopped because I didn't like the side effect of fishy tasting burps.  Then Doctor Horney told me about the Lemon Flavored EPA-DHA Fish Oil Capsules from Metagenics. Check out http://www.metagenics.com/ for more info.  I tried a few of Doctor Horney's personal supply and was amazed that the Lemon Flavor completely masked the fishy flavor.  This made it easier to take care of myself without unwanted side-effects.

There are many health benefits associated with Omega 3 Fatty Acids found in Fish Oil:

1.  Great for your heart and Cardiovascular system:  Studies have proven that Omega 3 Fatty Acids (O3FA)  have helped patients to lower cholesterol, triglycerides and help to support the structure of arteries and veins.

2.  Great for your waistline:  Studies have shown that O3FA's help to break down the Omentum (the type of fat that exists under the layer of muscles - which is much more dangerous to your health than Subcutaneous - the type of fat just below the skin).  Omentum fat effects your organs negatively and can be partially reduced by lowering your bodies' Inflamation levels.  Guess what helps lower your bodies' Inflamation levels? - O3FAs!

A personal note on this:  I have a fight on my hands!  It is with my Omentum.  I have made some changes to my lifestyle to reduce Inflamation and reduce my belly fat.  I have tried to elimate sugar and high-glycemic foods from my lifestyle - which works most of the time.  I have taken supplements such as O3FA Fish Oil Capsules and have added healthy Omega 3 foods like salmon and walnuts.  My pants size has gone from a size 20 to a size 14 in the past 5 years or so.  I still have a ways to go but it is easier now that I have better knowledge on how to take care of myself.

3.  Great for Stroke and Heart Attack Prevention:  O3FAs help to break up blood clots before they can do damage.

4.  Great for your Brain: Studies show O3FAs improve memory, focus and brain function.

5.  Great for your blues:  Studies have shown that O3FAs help to relieve Depression and even Psycosis.

6.  And, recent studies have shown that O3FAs have helped build muscle mass in cancer patients!
