<p>Fish oil supplements, if you purchase high quality ones,  have so many health benefits because of the Omega 3 essential fatty acids they contain.</p>
<p>But, as I already said, they have to be the right ones.</p>
<p>The quality of the oil capsules depends on the following:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>using fish that is known to have high quality fatty acids</strong></li>
<li><strong>the fish ideally should originate from the pristine waters south of New Zealand, where the risk of contamination is very low</strong></li>
<li><strong>The fish oil should be extracted using molecular distillation</strong></li>
<li><strong>the capsules need to contain a high percentage of DHA/EPA</strong></li>
<li><strong>the oil needs to be processed very fast to prevent oxidation and must not taste rancid but pure.<br />
</strong></li>
<li><strong>no matter where the fish came from it needs to go through a purifying process</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>Once you get the right <a href="http://www.xtend-life.com/product/Omega_3_DHA_Fish_Oil.aspx?id=1000150" target="_blank">fish oil supplements</a> it will be beneficial for :</p>
<ul>
<li>brain development and maintenance</li>
<li>eyesight</li>
<li>cardiovascular system</li>
<li>digestive system</li>
<li>arthritis</li>
<li>all disorders that have inflammation associated with them</li>
<li>IBD, IBS</li>
<li>immune system</li>
<li>cholesterol level</li>
<li>diabetes</li>
<li>acne, psoriasis and eczema</li>
</ul>
<p>It&#8217;s one of very few substances that has excited both the medical society and the alternative medical people.</p>
<p>Many tests are conducted and many of them prove promising, to say the least. Doctors hope to find prevention for, or the slowing down of <strong>Altzheimer disease</strong>.  Could pregnant mothers prevent their children from developing  <strong>ADD</strong> or  <strong>ADHD</strong> by taking fish oil supplements?</p>
<p>Studies and tests have been conducted and <strong>children with ADD and ADHD experienced considerable improvement </strong>after taking fish oil.</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-320" title="20903983.thb" src="http://health-is-natural.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/20903983.thb.jpg" alt="20903983.thb" width="220" height="251" /></p>
<p>It is a known fact that most people in the <strong>Western countries have a serious deficiency of  Omega 3 fatty acids. </strong> It&#8217;s possible to get AlA -alpha-linolenic -acid from our regular diet. ALA is one of the essential acids our body cannot manufacture and thus we have to get it from our diet. But the most important two will have to come from eating fatty fish or fish oil supplements</p>
<p>Before we started eating fast foods and processed food the ratio between Omega 3 and Omega 6 wavered between 1:1 and 1:3. Ideally it should be 1:1 but 1:3 is still acceptable. The ratio now is 1:20</p>
<p>All the processed foods and fast foods contain much Omega 6 and we practically do not get the Omega 3 we need.</p>
<p>This Omega 3 deficiency is believed to be the cause of  obesity, depression, dyslexia, hyper activity and even violence.</p>
<p>Quality fish oil supplements is the best solution for this problem. Unless you want to eat fatty fish three times a week. And that would have its drawback too because so much deep sea fish is contaminated. A good fish oil will not have contaminants in it</p>
<p>Would you not agree with me when I claim that it&#8217;s worth a mere $ 20.- per month&#8230;..actually it&#8217;s less than that&#8230;..to stay healthy or get your health and energy back?</p>
<p>Prevent<a href="http://www.xtend-life.com/product/Omega_3_DHA_Fish_Oil.aspx?id=1000150" target="_self"> Omega 3 deficiency.</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://health-is-natural.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/1079561thb.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-195" title="1079561thb" src="http://health-is-natural.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/1079561thb.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="222" /></a></p>
<p>Cure a pimple overnight? I hardly think so. You might think pimples just pop up out of nowhere but, in reality, it takes a process to develop them. And if they  need time to develop they will also need time to disappear.</p>
<p>I realize how unsightly they are and how embarrassed a person feels when they have pimples or zits.  And if you think teenagers are having the monopoly on pimples, think again. There are many people well past their adolescence that develop them. People in their twenties, thirties and even into their forties can develop acne.</p>
<p>When the sebaceous glands in your hair follicles secrete too much oil or sebum you can develop pimples. If the exit of the pores or hair follicles gets blocked the sebum will stay inside instead of getting on to the skin to lubricate it. This is the perfect place for bacteria to get lodged, grow and multiply.</p>
<p>Whatever you want to do to get rid of pimples, remember you cannot cure a pimple overnight. Popping a pimple is a real no-no. All you would achieve is to transfer the bacteria that are on your hands to your face. And where do you think those bacteria will end up?  Yep, right where you just poked the little hole by squeezing your pimple.</p>
<p>There are many tips for getting rid of pimples.<a href="http://www.squidoo.com/tips-for-getting-rid-of-pimples" target="_blank"><br />
</a></p>
<p>There are gels, lotions and creams you could use. They might not get rid of the pimples overnight but make them less visible.</p>
<p>You could get some salycilic acid in the pharmacy and carefully apply it to the affected area using a cotton swab. don&#8217;t use very much of it or your skin will dry out.</p>
<p>The best thing to help you get rid of pimples is really <a rel="nofollow" href='http://health-is-natural.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-affiliate-pro.php?id=4' onmouseover="top.window.status='Aloeride'; return true" onmouseout="top.window.status=''; return true" target="_blank">Aloeride</a>.<a href="http://www.aloeremedies.info" target="_blank">. </a></p>
<p>This product has been tested by over fifty independent laboratories and has been determined to be the ultimate Aloe Vera product. It achieves exactly what scientists expect Aloe Vera to achieve. It has the proper quality and quantity of  Aloe Vera in it, derived from the Aloe Barbadensis Miller plant.</p>
<p>Aloe Vera is known world wide for its medicinal qualities. It&#8217;s a powerful anti inflammatory.</p>
<p>Although you might not be able to cure a pimple overnight by using <a rel="nofollow" href='http://health-is-natural.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-affiliate-pro.php?id=4' onmouseover="top.window.status='Aloeride'; return true" onmouseout="top.window.status=''; return true" target="_blank">Aloeride</a> you will be able to get rid of you acne within a week to nine days.</p>

<p>Retrieving these mussels can be an arduous job of clambering and climbing along the coastal rocks.<br />
<strong>The amazing thing though is that tribesmen that are well into their 80s are climbing and clambering with as much agility as their younger fellow tribesmen.</strong> It does not appear that any of the octogenarians is afflicted with any sort of artritis.</p>
<p>Eventually this came to the attention of the medical and research community. They marveled at the fact of these elderly people being so nimble. And being doctors and researchers, of course they tried to figure out the reason for this.  As they pondered, they got to asking themselves and each other<strong> if the diet of the Maoris might have something to do with their agility.</strong></p>
<p>After conducting some studies it came to light that the<a href="http://www.squidoo.com/greenmusselsforarthritis" target="_blank"> green-lipped mussels</a> have tremendous medicinal qualities.<br />
The fatty acids in these mussels are highly <strong>anti-inflammatory and antioxidants.</strong> They prevent the joints from becoming stiff, swollen, red and inflamed. In other words they<strong> prevent Arthritis.</strong></p>
<p>If that was the only reason for eating this mussel on a regular basis a lot of people could be positively affected by this. But more and more benefits came to light.<br />
It had already been established that eating fatty fish such as salmon, mackerel, sardines etc. was good for a healthy heart, well developed brain and glowing skin. It also would boost the immune system, help people control weight and aid the digestive system.<br />
These mussels, it was discovered, have fatty acids that are more potent than that of ordinary fish. And any oil derived from <a href="http://www.greenmusselremedie.info" target="_blank">green-lipped mussels</a> is a superior oil.</p>

<p>So you like to know what Omega 3 is good for?</p>
<p><strong>Brain Development</strong></p>
<p>Young mothers to be who take Omega 3 on a regular basis might be giving their offspring a very good head start. After all, the DHA in the fatty acids of Omega 3 help brain development.<br />
Did I say help brain development? Actually it is crucial for brain development. Would you just like to leave that up to chance and/or the gene pool?</p>
<p>Doctors and researchers are very optimistic that DHA could make the lives of children, suffering from ADD and ADHD, a lot less stressful<br />
There are even whispers that these supplemental products might stall and/or prevent the development of Alzheimer Disease.</p>
<p><strong>Heart Health</strong></p>
<p><strong>DHA/EPA combined can prevent cardiovascular problems</strong>. They can break up abnormal formations of blood clots that cause strokes and heart attacks. They also can lower the risk factors for developing cardiovascular disease and also other chronic diseases.</p>
<p><strong><strong>Arthritis</strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Arthritis</strong>sufferers report great relief when they have been consuming Omega 3 in its natural form or in supplement form. DHA and EPA are greatly anti-inflammatory and will reduce the swelling, stiffness and inflammation of affected joints.</p>
<p><strong><strong>Skin</strong></strong><br />
Omega 3 is also good for your skin. It will give you a healthy looking, smooth skin.It will make you look younger.</p>
<p><strong><strong>Immune System</strong></strong></p>
<p>Omega 3 will boost your immune system. What would you think of going through a winter without getting the Flu, colds and sniffles</p>
<p><strong><strong>Weight loss</strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>It can even help you with losing weight</strong>. I&#8217;m not saying it&#8217;s a weight loss program. But taking the supplement makes you feel a bit fuller and you will have less cravings.<br />
Also, your digestive system  will be getting a boost and work better.</p>
<p><strong>Don&#8217;t you think it&#8217;s really time to investigate if you wonder <a href="http://health-is-natural.com/go/omegadaily" target="_blank"><strong>what is Omega 3 good for?</strong></a></strong></p>

<p><strong>What is Omega 3?</strong></p>
<p>Omega 3 is a special group of fatty acids. Our body needs them but has no way to manufacture them itself.<br />
The only way we can obtain these acids is through our diet. This is why <strong> they are called essential fatty acids.</strong>or EFAs</p>
<p>We can get some Omega 3 by eating flax seed, flax seed oil, canola oil, walnuts etc. The problem is that these foods only provide one of the EFAs. They only give us ALA -alpha-linolenic -acid.<br />
Our body can convert some of this into a very small amount of the other EFAs need. The only way we can get enough of  those essential fatty acids  is by <strong> eating oily fish such as salmon, mackerel, sardines, halibut, cod, etc.</strong></p>
<p>Many people don&#8217;t like eating fish. Some people just don&#8217;t like it, some are allergic to fish and others are concerned about the mercury and other impurities in the fish.</p>
<p>But we would have to eat fish three, maybe four, times a week in order to get all our EFAs  into our body</p>
<p>Fish contains two very important fatty acids, namely DHA-dacosahexaenoic acid and EPA-eicosapentaenoic acid. DHA is crucial <strong> for development of the brain</strong>. Is is also needed by the retina.</p>
<p>There are ongoing studies trying to determine how much help it can be in making life easier for children with ADD and ADHD. Can it slow down or stall Alzheimer Disease and Macular Degeneration?</p>
<p>DHA/EPA together can prevent heart trouble and strokes. They are strong antioxidants and are also extremely anti inflammatory. They can prevent thrombosis which is the abnormal formation of blood clots that can cause stroke or heart attack.</p>
<p><strong> How can we make sure we do get enough Omega 3? </strong></p>
<p>If we do not like fish, or for some reason can&#8217;t eat it there are products on the market we can use. Many people get Fish Oil. It usually comes in capsules and people take 2-4 a day. They start out with 2 in the morning and 2 in the evening.  Once they feel the positive effects of the Omega 3 they&#8217;re consuming they can often get down to taking only 2 capsules a day.</p>
<p>If you do decide to take fish oil make sure it has 60% DHA/EPA in  it. Actually there is  an oil which is derived from <a href="http://health-is-natural.com/go/omegadaily"> a mussel which lives in the waters South of New Zealand.</a> It has a very high quality of Omega 3.</p>
