Omega-3 Fatty Acids

By now we've probably all heard about how beneficial Omega-3 fatty acids are, some of you may already have increaesed your Omega-3's years ago. For those of you who haven't yet, or for those who would like to have another source of Omega-3's available, I have some great news!

The end of next week, Young Living is launcing one of many new products. The one I want to discuss now is a product called, "Omega Blue."

Omega Blue consists of a combination of Omega-3's and the highest quality essential oils for internal use. This is fantastic news for heart health! What Young Living has done that's absolutely brilliant is they've added organic therapeutic-grade essential oils to the high quality fish oils to help prevent rancidity. Be sure to read the labels on all fish oils because refrigeration is neccessary, even for unopened bottles.

Below is an article about a study published by NewsTarget...

Omega-3 Fatty Acids Outperform Automated External Defibrillators in Saving Lives From Heart Attacks

(NewsTarget) New research published in the October issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine indicates that consuming omega-3 fatty acids may be more effective at preventing sudden cardiac deaths than automated external defibrillators or implanted defibrillators.

Researchers from the Heart Center at Regions Hospital in St. Paul, Minn., used a computer-simulated study of 100,000 residents in Olmsted County, Minn., to determine that the residents consuming the highest levels of omega-3 fatty acids experienced a 6.4 percent lower overall death rate. The researchers found that automated external defibrillators (AEDs) reduced the death rate by only 0.8 percent, and implanted defibrillators lowered death rates by 3.3 percent.

In the population of 100,000 -- which was simulated to allow researchers to examine patient data under unrealistic conditions, such as full patient compliance with prescriptions -- the researchers found that increasing consumption of omega-3s could save 58 lives per year, while AEDs would only save seven lives, and implanted defibrillators would save 30.

"Once again, nutrition triumphs over complicated medical technology," explained Mike Adams, a holistic nutritionist and author of The Seven Laws of Nutrition. "When it comes to saving lives from heart attacks, simple, low-cost omega-3 oils are outperforming complex, expensive technology devices that have to be surgically implanted," he said. "As a bonus, these oils also reduce inflammation and joint pain, help regulate blood sugar, eliminate ADHD symptoms, protect the brain and nervous system from oxidative damage, boost skin elasticity and even help prevent cancer. No defibrillator can do that."

Sources of Omega-3's are: oily fish, cold water fish and flax seeds. Flax oil is good but do NOT cook with it as heat turns it into linseed oil, that's right, the linseed oil furniture finishers use to get that nice antique looking wood finish. Flax seed oil also requires refrigeration, even if unopened.

Stay tuned for more information coming out in the next few weeks on Omega Blue! And of course, you will be able to order it at my website as soon as it's available.
