9 Benefits of Fish Oils
Here is a list of 9 benefits from taking Fish Oil (sometimes referred to as Omega-3’s):
1. Reduces Inflammation-Omega 3 fatty acids regulate your bodys inflammation cycle which in return can reduce pain that it caused by inflammation (any condition ending in “itis”-like tendonitis most commonly found in athletes). If you think about it, if you reduce inflammation then you will appear leaner;) I personally know quite a few people who swear that the only reason their joint pain has gone away or reduced is because they either started taking fish oil or they upped their dose. Use the fish oil calculator to help determine how much fish oil you should be taking daily. Figure it out and start TODAY!
**Fitness Expert Lindsey Love Gallucci takes roughly 10g/day of Carlesons lemon flavored fish oil in liquid form. Capsels also available.
2.Supports Better Brain Function (including ADD and ADHD) and Long-term Cognitive Health-Omega 3 improves memory, recall, reasoning and focus.
****FACT: The human brain is comprised of 60% fats, and approximately half of that fat is DHA omega 3.
The brain, referred to as our master organ is made up of a tremendous amount of fat by weight. Did you know thist? And a significant portion of this fat is the omega 3 fatty acid known as DHA (docosahexaenoic acid).
This means that our brain is primarily run by fats and if you don’t have enough it wont run properly. In easier terms for you car lovers, if your car doesn’t have fuel it wont run right? True. Well, your brain without its fuel (fat) will stop running as well but it will have a much longer, more painful, suffering process before it stops running, aka diseases.
3.Prevention from Stroke and Heart Attack
4.Reduction of Colon, Breast and Prostate Cancer
5. Reduces morning muscle stiffness
6.Enhances Skin and Hair Care-by keeping your skin smooth, soft and more vibrant. Acne is a form of inflammation and fish oil reduces inflammation so can help cure acne. Omega 3 has hair growing properties and will also help keep your hair silky, shinny and strong.
7.May help reduce PMS symptom
8.Ability to Improve Vision
9.Helps Prevent Pregnancy Deficiencies and Delivery Complications- such as low birth weight. It will help reduce allergy in the newborns, help in brain development and reduce risk of post partum depression.

2. High Blood Pressure / Hypertension (372,000 to 414,000 deaths)
3. Obesity (188,000 to 237,000 deaths)

Just a clarification: There are no hills in Palm Beach County. I grew up there, and my family has been there for generations. The ‘hills’ you ran on, were in fact landfill remnants turned into public parks.
