Reduce Your Risk of Heart Disease With Omega-3 Oils

The following is an excerpt from the Blaylock Wellness Report "Heart Saver: Protect Yourself From Heart Attacks and Strokes."

A tremendous number of studies performed on both animals and humans clearly demonstrate that a higher content of omega-3 fats in the diet significantly reduces the risk of atherosclerosis, heart attacks and strokes and lowers triglyceride levels. Triglyceride is a fat that causes the blood to easily form blood clots. Perhaps the sudden rise in blood triglycerides following a high-fat meal is why so many people suffer a sudden heart attack or stroke right after eating. Omega-3 oils also thin the blood, improve the strength of the heart muscle, improve blood flow through arteries, reduce inflammation and improve immunity.

One especially important effect is preventing arrhythmias, or irregular heart beats. This is a leading cause of death among heart attack victims. Magnesium, when combined with omega-3 oils, adds tremendous protection as well. One study shows that eating fish just once a week can reduce the incidence of sudden cardiac death by 52 percent, perhaps due to Omega-3 oils' anticoagulant properties and ability to prevent arrhythmias.

I would not recommend eating seafood because of the high content of mercury, especially in crustaceans like shrimp, crab and lobster. Rather, take high-quality Omega-3 supplements, but not in the form of gelatin capsules since they are high in fluoride and glutamate and considered a high-risk product for mad cow disease. (Isn’t it great that Arbonne is committed to using only vegetable gel caps?!) Another way to get your Omega-3 oils is by eating eggs from chickens fed a diet high in these oils.

Christopher Egg Company has the highest levels of EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). Other brands include Gold Circle Farms, Pilgrim's Pride and The Country Hen.

Two eggs a day will supply the full complement of Omega-3 oils for adults. In addition, eggs contain phospholipids that are essential for the brain. Ignore warnings about high cholesterol in eggs; the brain needs cholesterol for normal function.
