5 Reasons To Take Fish Oil

Posted: August 24th, 2010 | Author: Dr. Bill Stillwell | No Comments »

There certainly are more than five reasons to take fish oil,
particularly my Powerhouse Omega Formula, but I realize you don’t
have time to read a book on the subject, so I’ll try and hit the
most important reasons.

1) Fish oil protects you from stroke and heart attack. In Europe,
where doctors are more interested in preventative medicine, almost
all cardiology patients are put on fish oil. We are just starting to
get this message.

When plaque builds up on the arterial walls and then ruptures, it
causes what’s known as thrombosis, which is a fancy way of saying a
blood clot. If that clot occurs in an artery in the brain, or if a
piece of clot breaks free and lodges in a brain artery, it causes a
stroke. When the clot plugs an artery in the heart, it causes a
heart attack. Research has shown that omega 3 fatty acids reduce
plaque formation and they make platelets less sticky, so they tend
to prevent clots before they can cause any damage.

2) Fish oil is believed to help reduce breast, colon and prostate
cancers. These are three of the most common forms of cancer and they
all kill. Is there anyone out there who doesn’t know someone who has
had one of these cancers? Science tells us that omega 3′s protect
normal, healthy cells and discourage their development into
cancerous cells, inhibit unwanted cellular growth and promote
apoptosis, which is the death of abnormal cancer cells.

3) Fish oil seems to reduce depression and psychosis. Fish oil
doesn’t just make you smarter. Psychiatric research in England has
found that fish oil alleviates the symptoms of depression, bipolar
disease and psychosis.

4) Fish oil sharpens memory and intelligence. DHA and EPA omega 3
fatty acids help to enhance memory, concentration and sharpen the
intellect. Studies among students show that fish oil supplementation
significantly improved attention span, memory recall, improved IQ
levels and provided better concentratration.

5) Fish oil reduces pain and inflammation. Omega 3′s are natural
anti-inflammatories. They help reduce pain, inflammation and improve
joint mobility in serious conditions, such as osteoarthritis,
rheumatoid arthritis and anything that ends in “itis.”

In addition, my Powerhouse Omega Formula is 100% natural and among
the purest and richest forms of omega 3 fats. You cannot get the
omega 3 fats you need by eating, unless you feel like eating a huge
amount of fish (and risk taking in a bunch of toxins you don’t want
or need).

Put what you now know to work for you. You’ll be making a wise
decision.

I’ll be back tomorrow with more.

With my best wishes for your optimum health,

Dr. Bill
