Did The Pittsburgh Steelers Have A Secret Weapon
I'm off for another trip to Long Island, where I'll be settling for a while. Hopefully the sunshine will be settling there too since these bones don't much like the cold anymore.
Today I found an interesting article published in the first issue of Sports Health: A Multi-Disciplinary Approach. It's a medical publication that probably wouldn't have much appeal for sports fans.
I mean the title alone proves my point: "Evaluation of Lipid Profiles and the Use of Omega 3 Essential Fatty Acid in Professional Football Players." Most people would run for the hills, but I eat this stuff up. And you get to benefit from my nerdy pursuits.
To make it easier for you to understand, 36 members of the Steelers were given pharmaceutical grade fish oil, and then evaluated using what is called a VAP(R)Cholesterol Test. What they were looking for was emerging cardiovascular risk factors, and determining whether omega 3 EFAs (essential fatty acids), found in pharmaceutical grade fish oil can reduce these factors.
Each participant was given 2560 mg per day during the period of study of EPA/DHA omega 3 fatty acid supplements.
A partner in the study, Dr. James Erlick (who is also Chief Medical Officer of Atherotech), has found professional football players have a higher risk statistically than normal for future cardiovascular disease and sudden heart attack.
Watching games these days, it's pretty easy to see why. These guys are gigantic. 280 is considered "light" for a lineman and 300 pounds is now commonplace. This weight will catch up to them sooner or later. Usually sooner.
In the study, the VAP Tests verified that pharmaceutical grade fish oil improved the Steeler players' good cholesterol, and lowered damaging particles and triglycerides. Higher levels of triglycerides are associated with diabetes and cardiovascular disease, by the way.
Taking the pharmaceutical grade fish oil may not have helped much when they played against the Cardinals, but it will help them after the game's over, for the rest of their lives. These guys are tough, big, strong, and kind of crazy. After all, they play professional sports.
And the fact is, many of them die much too young, often from heart attack and stroke. Giving these Sunday warriors pharmaceutical grade fish oil is a big step in the right direction.
Pharmaceutical grade fish oil isn't just for professional athletes, big guys that weigh 300 pounds, or more. It helps virtually everyone who takes it some way, from stopping migraines to helping quell joint pain to assisting in the flushing of your arteries.
If you want a more pleasant stay at this grand hotel, get some and get some today. - 17273
