The Value of Omega Fatty Acids

By Christian Goodman

Growing up in Iceland, I had to drink lysi. If you're not familiar with it, it is pure fat from fish liver. It was HORRIBLE. It is however, very healthy and is now available in capsules or pills.

All I knew is that it was somehow beneficial to me and my health. As an adult, I developed an insatiable curiosity about natural health remedies. So, in addition to my other research, I decided to research the benefits of the fish fat.

Our bodies require certain vitamins and nutrients. Our bodies are not capable of creating many of them so we have to ingest them. Omega Fatty Acids is one of these essential polyunsaturated fatty acids.

Fish can supply the omega fatty acids (tuna, herring, salmon). Two servings per week though is the suggested limit as they also contain mercury.

Other foods containing the omega fatty acids are soybeans, walnuts and flaxseed. Some things like cereals, orange juice and baby food are even manufactured with the fatty acids now.

Food is a great way to add omega fatty acids to your body. You might want to consult with your nutritionist to verify just how much is enough for you.

For those whose diets do not provide an adequate amount of the omega fatty acids, supplements may be a good alternative.

Why is all of this really that important? Research proves that developing babies require this.

Death, heart attacks and strokes can be reduced due to the omega fatty acids. They can also slow the progression of atherosclerosis, lower triglycerides, and can lower blood pressure.

Other health problems that can be positively affected by omega fatty acids are depression, rheumatoid artiritis and possibly even certain cancers.

While my Weight Loss Breeze program includes no special dietary requirements, it is very successful if a healthy weight is your goal.

Omega Fatty Acids and Your Health

By Christian Goodman

Let me start by telling you about lysi. In Iceland where I grew up, this is what I had to drink. It is the fat from the liver of fish. Fortunately, today it is not necessary to drink this to get the benefit.

All I knew is that it was somehow beneficial to me and my health. As an adult, I developed an insatiable curiosity about natural health remedies. So, in addition to my other research, I decided to research the benefits of the fish fat.

Our bodies require certain vitamins and nutrients. Our bodies are not capable of creating many of them so we have to ingest them. Omega Fatty Acids is one of these essential polyunsaturated fatty acids.

The best place to get this is in fish such as salmon, tuna or sardines. But, because of the mercury content and other toxins, this needs to be in limited quantities. Two servings per week at most.

Sunflower seeds, soybeans, olive oil and avacados also contain omega fatty acids. There are a number of foods that have the fatty acids added to them in manufacturing such as some cereals, orange juice and baby food.

Food is a great way to add omega fatty acids to your body. You might want to consult with your nutritionist to verify just how much is enough for you.

Supplements are another way to get the essential fatty acids if your diet does not currently supply you with an adequate amount.

Why is all of this really that important? Research proves that developing babies require this.

Death, heart attacks and strokes can be reduced due to the omega fatty acids. They can also slow the progression of atherosclerosis, lower triglycerides, and can lower blood pressure.

Rheumatoid arthritis, depression and anxiety disorders are problems that can be assisted with omega fatty acids.

While I always encourage a well balanced diet, if weight loss is your goal, I strongly recommend my Weight Loss Breeze Program.

The Shocking Truth About Prostate Vitamins

By Gerome Plunk

If you've ever had the faintest concern about your prostate and the possibility of cancer, you've probably turned to the internet to do some research. What you've immediately run into has been a confusing assortment of contradictory claims. Some articles maintain that Vitamin E will protect you. Others recommend multivitamins. Yet others, zinc or beta-carotene.

And then again, perhaps your eye will be caught by lurid headlines claiming studies have proven prostate vitamins actually cause cancer.

How can you tell which version to trust?

The media wants to capture your interest. Reporters are going to hit you with the most eye-popping headlines they can manufacture. If you take the time to check the actual data behind the stories, a simple truth emerges: a small percentage of men taking prostate vitamins did show increased incidence of prostate cancer, but there seems to be a very solid reason for the increase " one which you can easily avoid.

Beware Of Unexpected Side Effects

Karla Lawson, who submitted the paper showing the results, warns that the association between advanced cancer and extreme vitamin use is imprecise. Other experts not connected with the 2006-2007 study have put forth the theory that massive doses of vitamins and minerals actually nourish existing tumors, causing them to grow.

Its tempting to start treating yourself prophylactically if your family has a history of cancer of the prostate, especially if you are no longer young. Lawsons study seems to firmly caution against this.

The bottom line is, even if the males in your family are prone to cancer, going overboard on anything is never a good idea - particularly if a false sense of security stops you from getting the professional help you need.

* By all means take prostate vitamins, if your doctor agrees " but never, ever exceed the dosage on the bottle
