8 Benefits of Fish Oil

Research studies show the benefits of fish oil are incredible.  In fact, adding foods that are high in Omega 3 fatty acids and taking an Omega fish oil supplement is one of the simplest, most powerful things you can do for your health. Studies are published almost daily as the scientific community discovers more of the extraodinary omega 3 fish oil benefits.

 

Here are 8 proven benefits of fish oil you should know about:

  1. Cardiovascular Health.
    The benefits of fish oil and Omega 3 include reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease, reducing the risk of heart-related sudden death and lowering unhealthy triglyceride levels. In fact, the American Heart Association recommends two servings of fish a week for healthy persons and one serving per day of fish or fish oil supplement containing at least 900mg of fish oil for persons with heart disease.

  2. Protection from Stroke and Heart Attack.
    When plaque builds up on arterial walls and then breaks loose, it causes what's known as a thrombosis, which is a fancy way of saying clot. If a clot gets stuck in the brain, it causes a stroke and when it plugs an artery, it causes a heart attack. Research shows omega 3 fatty acids break up clots before they can cause any damage.

  3. Better Brain Function.
    DHA and fish oil have been proven to stimulate memory and the ability to learn.  Research has shown that mothers who take supplemental DHA during their pregnancy and lactation may increase their baby’s IQ.

  4. Reduction of Pain and Inflammation.
    Omega 3 fatty acids have a positive effect on your inflammatory response. Through several mechanisms, they regulate your body's inflammation cycle, which prevents and relieves painful conditions of rheumatoid arthritis.

  5. Improves Mood.
    Psychiatry department researchers at the University of Sheffield, along with many other research studies, found that omega 3 fish oil supplements help alleviate the symptoms of depression.

  6. Improves Skin and Hair Health.
    Fish oil helps protect the skin against damage from UV exposure, and skin disorders such as psoriasis.

  7. Reduces PMS Symptoms in Women.
    Omega 3 is converted into substances called 'prostaglandins type-3' that control contractions of the uterus, which cause the cramping.

  8. Lowers Cancer Risk.
    Studies on Omega 3 benefits have linked lowered risk of breast cancer and prostate cancer to the consumption of fish oil.

Omega 3 benefits are wide-ranging and proven by clinical studies. The positive effects are too good to ignore if you are interested in your health.  We suggest adding more cold water fish to your diet and taking a high quality pure fish oil supplement.

Healthy Choice Naturals Omega Naturals Fish Oil is excellent, highly concentrated fish oil that is 230% stronger than many other brands.   It's toxin free and non-farmed, so you know you are getting healthy, clean fish oil harvested from fully sustainable open waters. 

Cholesterol Readings - What’s Healthy and What’s Not?

cholesterol readingHave you checked your cholesterol level in the past 5 years?  Have you ever checked your cholesterol level at all?  It is recommended that every individual above the age of 20 check(test) their cholesterol levels at least once every five years.

Cholesterol is necessary for the growth of the human body.  However, in today's society cholesterol is generally misunderstood and the impacts of it are underestimated.  If not controlled correctly, cholesterol can lead to disturbing health problems.

It is very important when selecting a diet or making lifestyle choices to distinguish between the various kinds of cholesterol. HDL cholesterol is generally thought to be the ”good” type of cholesterol. It is responsible for many significant physical functions as well as the preservation of cell walls.

LDL cholesterol, or low-density, is the “bad” type of cholesterol. Too much LDL cholesterol in the human body can bring about cardiovascular disease, heart attacks and even stroke. If your family has a history of heart problems, it is imperative not only to closely monitor your cholesterol intake, but to also have your cholesterol levels checked on a regular basis.

What is considered a “normal” cholesterol reading?

Cholesterol readings are usually comprised of an LDL cholesterol reading, an HDL cholesterol reading and a total cholesterol reading.

In general, you want your combined cholesterol to stay under 200. A borderline analysis may be as high as the 230s, but anything above 240 should be of concern.  LDL cholesterol should remain below 130. If it is 160 or higher, you may want to begin making some fairly major nutritional changes. Lastly, HDL cholesterol should stay above 50. Anything below 40 should be of concern.

There number of things that you can do yourself to keep bad cholesterol under control.  You should choose a balanced diet that includes a good amount of protein, in the form of fish and dark meat, and be sure to get four to six servings of fruits and vegetables every day. Keep away from foods that have a lot of fat, as they are inclined to raise blood cholesterol levels.

Healthy Food Choices That Won’t Break the Bank

Are you having a tough time making ends meet during these tough economic times?  Do you find your money isn’t stretching far enough at the grocery store?  One of the easiest traps to fall into when money is tight is to eat unhealthy foods.  But before you switch to a diet of macaroni and cheese, potatoes chips, and fast food burgers… STOP.  If you follow these guidelines, you can still buy healthy foods and stay within your budget.

The key is planning.   For most of us, life these days can be so hectic that it’s easier to call in for pizza or cook prepackaged convenience foods.  However, not only are they usually more expensive to buy, they are typically less healthy for you than foods you cook yourself.

Start by picking the recipes for the week that you would like to make.  Deciding what you are serving ahead of time can keep you from choosing something less healthy but easier to cook.

If you are short on time, you may want to select meals that can be prepared partially or fully in advance.  Some people do an entire weeks worth of cooking in one day, storing the meals in the refrigerator or freezer.  If you can’t prepare in advance, consider at least doing some of the prep work such as chopping vegetables and cleaning poultry ahead of time.

Planning meals in advance also saves you time and money at the grocery store.   Use your meal plans to create your shopping list.   When planning for the week, you can also see what is on special at the store and try to build meals around those items.  Buying items that are on special can save you quite a bit of money.

To save as much as possible, limit your shopping to what is on your list.   Try to avoid impulse buys.  This will most likely be the hardest change to make, but if you avoid buying on impulse, you will most likely avoid buying items that are unhealthy and add considerable costs to your grocery bill.

Fruits and Vegetables:

There seems to be a popular myth that fresh produce is expensive.  But if you buy fruits and vegetables that are in season, they are actually quite affordable.  Buying fruits and vegetables by the bag instead of individually also tends to be cheaper. 

Protein:

Protein can be a little more difficult to buy on a budget.  You will probably have to pass on the filet minion and lobster, but you can still find healthy sources of protein for a low price.

First off, look for unprepared sources of meat.  If you select cleaned and marinated chicken out of the butcher’s case, you will most likely pay more than if you clean and marinate it yourself.   Also, you will usually pay more for boneless skinless chicken breast, than if you buy bone in with skin.  Meats that require more preparation tend to be less expensive.

Also, meat isn’t your only option for protein.  Consider replacing meat with beans or eggs for a healthy, less expensive alternative.

Grains:

The same rules from protein also apply to grains.    Buying less processed grains is the least expensive and healthiest option.  For example, when buying rice, choose plain white or brown rice over the packaged mixes.   Buying in bulk is also a less expensive option.  Oatmeal in bulk is much cheaper than buying the individual packets.

Beverages:

One of the biggest cost savings in the beverage category is to stop buying bottled water.  Installing a filter on your tap water can give you clean drinking water for pennies. 

Also, for the coffee drinker who spends $3.00-$4.00 a day at the local coffee shop, start brewing your own at home.   Not only does it save you a bundle every week, you can control the amount of fat and sugar you are adding to your cup.  A cup at home with a low fat creamer can be much lower in fat than a latte or specialty coffee drink.

When cooking your food, pay attention to how you are preparing it.  You may not need as much oil as you’ve been using, for example.   Try to cook with as many vegetables as possible and be sure to drain the grease when you cook your meat and poultry. 

As you can see, hard economic times don’t mean you have to eat less well.  Following these steps does require a little more time and effort, but the payoff can be considerable. Not only will you be saving money at the checkout, you will be eating healthier too!

Improve Your Memory - Top 10 Tips

Memory is an important part of each of our lives.   We use it to process, encode and retrieve information throughout our daily lives.   As we age, our brain, just like or bodies is no longer in tip top shape.  But there are steps you can take to guard against memory loss and improve your retrieval capacity.

Isn’t it frustrating when you can’t remember a person’s name, an important date or something as simple as where you placed your car keys?  Have you ever wondered why you can’t remember these things?  There are a number of factors that can contribute to your memory recall.

Causes of forgetting:

  1. Interference by other information which may be learned earlier or later
  2. Anxiety
  3. Trauma to the head
  4. Emotional and physical stress
  5. Brain injury or disease
  6. Certain drugs like narcotics
  7. Psychological state -- such as not having any interest in the subject

Listed below are 10 methods we suggest  you try to improve your  memory recall and overall memory strengtheningThe more you practice and apply these methods, the better you will become. 

Top 10

  1. Being in the same mood when the information was processed is helpful.

  2. Try to place yourself in the same situation that this information was processed. The retrieval of information is more easily obtained in the same circumstance or place of input.

  3. It is easier for the brain to memorize images, so link the information you need to store to images.

  4. Avoid cigarette smoking and alcohol.

  5. Study for short periods with breaks in between.

  6. Repeat the information more than one time either through visualizations, auditory input, or through written word.

  7. Take a Vitamin B complex.

  8. Eat a healthy diet and include fresh vegetables during study hours.

  9. Meditation and hypnotherapy reduce stress and anxiety and these practices also help to improve your memory.

  10. Memory exercises: Practice with images, audio stimuli and writing to help you store information you need to retrieve later.

All of the items on this list can help to improve your memory. Taking a nutritional supplement may also be beneficial.

We suggest our Mind Matrix supplement which provides natural support to improve your memory and sharpen your focus.

Exercise – An Amazing Antidepressant Drug?

A recent study has discovered that exercise is as effective at combating depression as anti-depressant tablets.

ExerciseThe study, conducted by the American Medical Institute, tested 100 subjects, all of whom were clinically diagnosed as having ’severe depressive illness’. 25 of them were given a course of anti-depressant tablets, 25 were given an exercise routine to do in a group environment three times a week, 25 were given an exercise routine to do three times a week on their own at home, and a control group of 25 were given neither anti-depressant tablets, nor an exercise schedule.

After 16 weeks of testing, results found that the ‘tablets’ group and the two exercise groups were all improved to such a degree that they were all no longer classed as being clinically depressed; the only significant statistical difference came between the two exercise groups - it was found that the group who exercised in a group setting were slightly more improved than those who exercised on their own.

The evidence of this study strongly suggests that exercise is as effective in combating depression as anti-depressant tablets.

You certainly don’t have to be clinically depressed to experience the psychological benefits of regular exercise.  In another study which tested the psychological effects of exercise on a group of women who were ‘not depressed,’  the women who managed to stick to the prescribed exercise regime of  3 sessions a week, reported feeling ‘happier’ than they had been when they were not exercising. They commented specifically on things like having more energy, more confidence, a more positive body-image, and all reported that they felt less inclined to resort to ‘comfort-eating’ triggered by feelings of unhappiness.

Having a regular exercise routine is not only a great way to improve your mood; it provides various other beneficial effects to your health like safeguarding you against  heart disease, reducing blood pressure and enhancing your self confidence.   

8 Signs That You Might Have a Thyroid Condition

At least 27 million Americans have a thyroid problem, but don't know it yet. The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland located in the neck and it is the regulator of your metabolism. When your thyroid doesn't function properly, it can affect every aspect of your health including weight, depression and energy levels. Hypothyroidism -- an underactive thyroid -- is the most common thyroid condition, and is more common in women, affecting as many as one in five.

Undiagnosed hypothyroidism can significantly increase your risk of obesity, heart disease, and depression, so it is important to pay attention to the signs that may point to a thyroid condition. You don't need to have all of these symptoms in order to have a thyroid problem, but here are 8 of the most common signs to look for.

1. Difficulty Losing Weight or Weight Fluctuations.

You may be dieting and exercising, but are failing to lose any weight, or even gaining. Difficulty losing weight can be a sign of hypothyroidism.   Or are you gaining weight, but eating and working out the same as always, or losing weight, and eating the same amount of food as usual? Weight changes -- up or down -- can be signs of hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism.

2. Family History.

You are at higher risk of having a thyroid condition yourself if you have a family history of thyroid problems.

underactive thyroid3. Fatigue.

If you are tired when you wake up, feeling as if 8 or 10 hours of sleep a night isn’t enough, or if you can’t function a full day without a nap, these may all be signs of both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism.

4. Depression and Anxiety.

Depression or anxiety, including sudden onset of panic disorder, can be symptoms of thyroid disease. Hypothyroidism is most typically associated with depression, while hyperthyroidism is more commonly associated with anxiety or panic attacks. Depression that does not respond to anti-depressants may also be a sign of an undiagnosed thyroid disorder.

5. Neck Discomfort/Enlargement.

A feeling of swelling in the neck, discomfort with turtlenecks or neckties, a hoarse voice, or a visibly enlarged thyroid can all be symptoms of thyroid disease. To find out if the thyroid is enlarged, you can take a simple test at home. Hold a mirror so that you can see the area of your neck just below the Adam's apple and right above the collarbone. Tip your head back, while keeping this view of your neck and thyroid area in your mirror. Take a drink of water and swallow. As you swallow, look at your neck. Watch carefully for any bulges, enlargement, protrusions, or unusual appearances in this area when you swallow, and if you see anything unusual, see your doctor right away.

6. Hair / Skin Changes.

Hair and skin changes are noticeable signs of a possible thyroid problem. With hypothyroidism, hair frequently becomes coarse and dry, and falls out easily. Skin can become coarse, thick, dry, and scaly.  In hypothyroidism, it is common to lose hair in the outer edge of the eyebrow. With hyperthyroidism, severe hair loss can also occur, and skin can become fragile and thin.

7. Bowel Problems.

Severe constipation is frequently associated with hypothyroidism, while diarrhea or irritable bowel syndrome is associated with hyperthyroidism.

8. Menstrual Irregularities and Fertility Problems.

Heavier, and more frequent and painful periods are frequently associated with hypothyroidism, and shorter, lighter, or infrequent menstruation can be associated with hyperthyroidism. Infertility can also be associated with undiagnosed thyroid.

You don’t have to have all of these symptoms to have a thyroid problem.   If you believe you may have a thyroid condition, you should see your physician for treatment options.

In addition, there are alternative therapies for thyroid support.  Thyroid Essentials is a natural supplement formulated to provide relief for low thyroid conditions.  The ingredients naturally support the body’s ability to improve and normalize thyroid function.  Follow this link for information on Healthy Choice Naturals Thyroid Essentials

Co-Enzyme Q10 - A Vital Energy Nutrient

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a fat soluble compound best known for its vital function in the production of energy inside cells. It is concentrated in the part of the cell that churns out energy, the mitochondria. A lesser known function of CoQ10 may be its powerful antioxidant activity in cell membranes and in lipoproteins like LDL cholesterol.

Tissue with a big CoQ10 footprint

Cardiologist, congestive heart failure researcher and international CoQ10 expert, Peter H. Langsjoen, MD, FACC says that "The heart muscle uses more energy than any other organ in our bodies".

Skeletal muscle, the brain, the liver and gum tissue are also big energy consumers. These organs and tissues require optimal amounts of CoQ10 for optimal energy production for optimal health.

Cells use enzymes to break down chemical bonds in molecules to produce energy. Importantly, enzymes just can't perform without their supporting cast of coenzymes. According to Dr. Langsjoen, "CoQ10 is a coenzyme for three large enzyme systems that are essential for 90% of your cellular energy production".

CoQ10 as a powerful antioxidant.

Residing in cell mitochondria, membranes and in lipoproteins, CoQ10 functions to neutralize free radicals and reactive oxygen species - those damaging molecules that are formed simply by breathing and eating.

CoQ10 acts to regenerate or recycle alpha tocopherol (a form of vitamin E) for antioxidant activity. It also protects the lipoprotein LDL cholesterol from lipid peroxidation, a particularly cell damaging reactive oxygen species.

Where do we get CoQ10?

All plant and animal cells contain CoQ10. It is ubiquitous. That means it is found everywhere. And it is why various forms of CoQ10 are called ubiquinone.

Like cholesterol, your body makes its own CoQ10 which is a biochemical illustration of just how important this compound is to health. It is also found in food. Meat, fish and poultry are good dietary sources of CoQ10. It is especially concentrated in organ meat. A 3 ounce serving of beef contains about 2.6mg of CoQ10, an amount dwarfed by therapeutic doses used to treat disorders associated with CoQ10 deficiency.

Why Sweeteners Make You Fat

A major American controlled study on 80,000 women showed that those who regularly use artificial sweeteners put on more weight per year than those who do not use them. What is even more surprising is the finding that, with the widespread use of sweeteners, the consumption of ordinary sugar and sugary foods has increased, too. In other words, the more artificial sweeteners you consume, the more food urges you have, thereby fulfilling their patent as an "appetite enhancement".

There is overwhelming proof that these food poisons are making us fat. Research conducted at Purdue University shows that a group of test subjects fed artificial sweeteners subsequently consumed three times the calories of those given regular sugar. According to the study, it is far less fattening to eat sugar than artificial sweeteners, although eating this much regular sugar isn't good for anyone either.

Most mainstream doctors recommend that their overweight patients consume diet soda, Sweet-N-Low, etc. for weight loss, but in actual fact their advice causes the patients to crave calories and binge on unhealthy carbohydrates. The obesity epidemic is spreading like wildfire ever since diet foods and beverages gained popularity.

Best solution for sweeteners is Stevia. It's safe, calorie free and a natural plant extract. Get it at any health food store and places like Whole Foods and Trader Joes.

Is Vitamin D the "Nutrient of the Decade?"

tanning pillsVitamin D, also known as the “sunshine vitamin,” has been associated with so many health benefits that it may become the “nutrient of the decade.”

While federal officials have resisted increasing the daily recommended level of vitamin D out of fears of overdose toxicity, increasing evidence suggests that the currently recommended intake levels are not adequate to prevent the serious diseases linked to low vitamin D levels.

Vitamin D has been found to;

  • Strengthen bones
  • Reduce tumor growth
  • Lower your risk of cancer
  • Reduce your risk of multiple sclerosis
  • Lower your risk of diabetes

Through most of human history, sunlight was the primary source of vitamin D. Based on how much time you spend in the sun, you may also need additional sources, such as from foods (vitamin D is found in oily fish like salmon, mackerel, bluefish, catfish, sardines and tuna) or vitamin D3 supplements.

Fish Oil Supplements Beat Popular Cholesterol Treatment in Recent Study

Fish oil supplements may work slightly better than a popular cholesterol reducing drug in helping patients with chronic heart failure. 

This was according to a recent study published in the medical journal, The Lancet, in Munich Germany.

“With few effective options for heart failure patients, the findings could give patients a potential new treatment and could change the dietary recommendations for them, said Dr. Jose Gonzalez Juanatey, spokesman for the European Society of Cardiology, who was not connected to the research.  “This reinforces the idea that treating heart patients with heart failure takes more than just drugs,”  Juanatey said.  

Chronic Heart failure occurs when the heart becomes enlarged and cannot pump efficiently around the body.

In the study, 3,500 patients were given a daily omega 3 pill.  Roughly the same numbers of patients were given placebo pills.  Patients were then followed for an average of 4 years.

In the group of patients taking the fish oil pills,  1,981 died of heart failure or were admitted to the hospital with the problem.  In the patients taking placebo pills, 2,053 died or were admitted to the hospital for heart failure.

In a parallel study, Italian doctors gave 2,285 patients the drug rosuvastatin, also known as Crestor, and also gave roughly the same number of patient’s placebo pills.  These patients were also followed for about 4 years.  

Comparing the results from the 2 groups, doctors found little difference in the heart failure rates between the 2 groups; however the fish oil pill was slightly more effective than the drug because the oil performed better against the placebo than did Crestor.

Dr. Richard Bonow, chief cardiology at Northwestern University Hospital in Chicago said, “It’s a small benefit, but we should always be emphasizing to patients what they can do in terms of diet that might help.”

You can get these benefits from eating oily fish

Doctors said you can get the same benefits from taking fish oil supplements or eating oily fish, such as salmon or tuna. 

Both options contain the Omega 3 fatty acids which have long been proven to offer health benefits of protecting the heart and brain.

This study supports the reason we’ve been urging you to add omega 3 fats to your diet.

Can Sleep Really Make You Smarter?

If you’re like half of all adults, you may not be sleeping well or getting enough sleep. Today’s fast paced society can make sleep seem like more of a luxury than a need, but this is simply not true. Sleep is essential for good health. Sleep deprivation affects your entire body and mind.

While you sleep your brain is busy processing the information from your busy day. It takes the days recently formed memories, and then stabilizes, copies, and fills them in order to make them more useful for the next day.

A night of sleep can make memories resistant to interference from other information and can also allow you to recall the memories more effectively. It also allows your brain to sort through new memories and identify what is worth keeping and what to let go.

Your brain creates memories by altering the strength of connections of hundreds, thousands or possibly even millions of neurons which in turn make certain patterns of activity more likely to occur. When we reactivate these patterns of activity, it leads to the recall of a certain memory, such as where you parked your car or what day of the week it is.

It is believed that these changes come from a molecular process known as long term potentitation which strengthens the connections between the neurons in our brain, locking in the memory for future recall.

While sleeping, your brain reactivates the patterns of neural activity from the day, which in turn strengthens your memory recall by long term potentiation.

So How Much Sleep Do You Need?

The recommendations for adults is 7 to 8 hours per night, but also keep in mind that sleep requirements are highly individual and depend on many factors. A rule of thumb is to consider how you normally feel after sleep. Do you feel refreshed and alert, or groggy and exhausted? If you don’t feel refreshed, chances are you’re not sleeping enough. Sleep requirements are highly individual and depend on many factors:

  • Your age and genetic make-up
  • What you do during waking hours, including exercise
  • The quality of your sleep

In order to make sure you’re getting enough sleep, you need to set the stage for a good nights sleep on a daily basis. It is important to set a consistent bedtime routine which includes; creating a good sleep environment, avoiding foods and drink that might interfere with your sleep and improving your daytime habits.

So be sure to get you daily zzzzz’s. Not only will you look and feel better, you just might be a bit smarter too.

Lifestyle Changes Reduce Symptoms Associated with BPH

Prostate gland growth is regulated by sex hormones, including estrogen, testosterone, and dihydrotestosterone (DHT). In the body, testosterone is metabolized into DHT by the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase. Often, as men grow older, more DHT is produced. Drugs and nutrients that lower DHT by inhibiting 5-alpha-reductase have been shown to reduce the size of the prostate gland and therefore reduce the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

Herbs and nutrients are a very important and usually underutilized element of BPH therapy. Some of the most effective herbs that treat BPH operate along similar pathways as prescription drugs, which are much stronger, without the adverse effects. If you are in the watchful-waiting period of BPH, you should consider slowing the progression of your condition, and avoiding the unpleasant symptoms of more severe BPH, by using nutrient and supplemental therapy

  • Eat ample amounts of fresh fish, fruits, and vegetables. The high mineral and vitamin content (especially of vitamins E and D) of these foods are essential for general health and metabolism but can also reflect positively on prostate cells.
  • Reduce stress, both on and off the job.
  • Exercise regularly.
  • Keep your weight within normal limits.
  • Consider a prostate supplement

If you are suffering from lack of sleep, night urination problems and frequent trips to the bathroom ProstateCare is our highly recommended natural solution. Better than 94% success rate in eliminating symptoms and protecting against more severe problems.
