Why Omega 3/75 is a superior Omega 3 formula

Omega 3 Fatty Acids

In today’s fast-paced health conscious world, the word ‘fat’ has many negative connotations.  However, we tend to forget that there are good fats out there that are vital to life.  So what is a good fat?  Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) are the ‘good fats’ that are commonly deficient in the United States, particularly Omega 3’s.  Since the human body cannot make EFAs, we need to supplement our daily diet.

Your body needs high quality Omegas.  With more news every month about the benefits of Omega 3’s, it’s no longer one of those ‘optional’ supplements.


The Essential Facts

Omega 3 Fatty Acids are an essential unsaturated fat that can reduce clot formation and lower the ‘bad’ LDL cholesterol.  It may protect the body from heart disease and keep your arteries healthy. 
Omega 3 fish oil is quickly becoming as important to your overall health as a daily multivitamin.  The significant benefits for your health are far too numerous to ignore.  From heart health to better brain function, from reducing the risk of cancers to improving people’s moods, Omega 3’s just might be one of the most important supplements in your daily diet.

Longevity Components

In recent years, longevity (anti-aging) researchers have been able to identify the key mechanisms behind “cellular aging” and have isolated the factors that can slow or reverse those aging processes. The most important of these factors are actually determined by your environment, lifestyle and dietary choices. In other words, how “old” your body feels is largely determined by what you do to support your health on a daily basis.

LifeSource contains the following 4 longevity factors, each of which is briefly described below:

How to love your skin

http://goo.gl/2Ruhve

Have you ever seen your skin under a microscope? Take a magnifying glass and enter the magical world of ridges and valleys, of pores with hairs and without, of discolorations and dry spots. They are all hardly noticeable to the naked eye yet become intensified and almost a bit scary looking.  It’s hard to imagine you’re looking at the largest organ of your body and think, “Is that what I look like?  Nah, gross.”

Au contraire, my friends, it’s ultra cool, our beautiful shell, the mantle that covers our flesh, muscles, tendons, brain and bones.


The skin is not just a cover. As a live and vitally important part of our bodies, it’s also our largest eliminatory organ. We eliminate toxins and waste through our perspiration, through dead skin follicles and also through our breath. But the most evidence of a dirty inner terrain or a troubled immune system is often visible on the skin. This can take many forms:  acne, regular pimples, dry patches, areas that put out intense sebum, areas that are reddened and puffy, areas where you get lots of black heads or little pus eruptions, or skin discolorations in areas where we now know relate to specific organs.

How to go about changing this?

Not Losing Weight? Here's Why

 

Not losing weight?  Perhaps you're doing it all wrong...

Did you know you should drink more water - not drink less - when you are trying to lose weight?  Here's why:
Water isn't just "good for you" — water burns fat. Water suppresses hunger. Water renews your skin. Just drinking 12 ounces of pure water every day can take a few years off your face in a matter of weeks. You'll also drop fat, have more energy, and save your kidneys and liver from chronic overwork.

When your kidneys are taxed from too little water, your liver has to take over. Now, get this: Your liver is your number one fat-burning organ. Do you REALLY want it processing liquids and toxins rather than BURNING FAT? No way, right? Well, grab a glass of water, and watch the mirror. Within a few weeks, the change to your face and body will be noticeable. (Excerpt from http://oldschoolnewbody.com/5steps/)

Is STRESS stealing your energy and productivity?


According to a recent study conducted by the American Psychological Association(APA), one-third of Americans are living with extreme stress and nearly half of Americans (48 percent) report that their stress has increased substantially over the past five years. In this fast-paced, “multi-tasking” world we live in today, stress is taking a toll on all of us…contributing to health problems, lack of energy, and difficulty keeping mental focus and concentration.


As a result, tens of millions of people are turning to energy drinks and energy shots as a means to obtain that “get-up-and-go” mentality which is critical to keep up with today’s demands.

Unfortunately, the majority of these popular energy drinks are packed with sugar,artificial colors and flavors and unhealthy stimulants. They give youa temporary boost of energy only to leave you “crashing” a few hours later. When consumed regularly, these beverages can take a negative toll on our body.

The“Fab Four”:
There are several unique and powerful nutrients that improve brain function at every age. Here, you’ll learn about four nutritional ingredients you can use to improve your ability to meet each day’s multiple challenges. These are also the same ingredients that you’ll find inthe world’s first “pure energy think drink” by Xooma –FocusUP.

Acetyl-L-Carnitine: Pure Energy In A Bottle
Scientific studies have found that acetyl-L-carnitine improves memory, mental energy, and cognitive ability. It does so by promoting better function of mitochondria, the “engines” that create energy within brain cells.

The Mountain Dew Mind


It's so disturbing to think that as much proof that we have about the dangers of soda, the soda industry still makes billions of dollars around the world selling these harmful drinks to consumers.  What's sad is how so many people get addicted to them but won't liken the addiction to other harmful products (like tobacco, for instance).

Here's what happens within an hour of consuming soda:

Benefits of Carrots


Those of us who grew up watching Bugs Bunny cartoons should've paid attention to his eating habits and copied at least one habit - his fondness for carrots!  Carrots are high in beta carotene, carotenoids, Vitamin B2, B6, C, E, K, dietary fiber, potassium, manganese, folate, and phosphorus. 

All these nutrients help protect the body against free radicals, improve heart and dental health, cleanse the liver, strengthen the immune system, nourish the skin, and protect the eyes.

Top 10 Anti-Aging Foods


Aging isn't just about how you look.  It's also about how you feel.  When you feel like you did in your youth or in your younger years and can still keep up with the same amount of physical activity you did then, it shows in how you look, feel, and behave.

That's reason enough to "obsess" if you will, over trying to keep our bodies from aging.  We must protect our bodies from sustaining irreversible damage. Good nutrition and exercise are two ways we can try to do this.  But with so many different food choices out there, how do we know which ones work the best at anti-aging?

Superfoods


Shortcuts!  That's what we all like, especially in this ever-busy world.  We want shortcuts to make things easier.  But when it comes to health, are there any shortcuts we can take?  Sure there are!  We can take some shortcuts in our diet with superfoods. 

Drink Water Every Morning

This is a simple graphic reminds us of some important reasons to drink water every morning.  Even if you can't afford to add minerals (like Xooma Worldwide's X2O, which we highly recommend), it's still very vital to our health to hydrate every morning with water.

Benefits of Oranges


When we were children, we may have always thought of oranges as simply a source of Vitamin C.  In reality, oranges contain and provide more than just Vitamin C.  One medium size orange provides about 6% of the recommended Calcium which is important in building strong bones and teeth.  Aiding in the absorption of Calcium is Magnesium.

New Brain Support Formula


Just when we thought that there couldn't be anything better yet nonprescription for the brain, here comes a new, high-quality product made with clinically tested nutrients to support memory, concentration, and mental performance.  The product is called RevitalMind™.

Getting Rid of the "Happy" Pill


If based on personal experience alone, I wouldn't recommend anyone going on any kind of prescription antidepressants.  More than a decade ago, I had symptoms of depression that just didn't seem to go away.  A physician assistant I worked with prescribed some antidepressants for me to try and I ended up feeling "weirded out" - like my body and brain were completely separate from one another.  I could not stop rocking myself back and forth.  It was scary.  Of course, I discontinued taking the pills after that bout.  I was given another brand to try later and experienced just as bad of a reaction.  I decided "no more".  I'd just deal with it.

Hydrating at the Cellular Level


We  might not pay much attention to the water content in the vegetables we eat but we really ought to.  When we are born our bodies are made up of almost 78% water. As we age, the water content in our bodies start to decrease. This is something we don't always realize, particularly if we associate water with say, a glass of drinking water, or a body of water that we swim in.

Boosting Brain and Memory


We can joke around about an occasional bout of forgetfulness. Sometimes we can also find humor in it occurring more frequently as we age. But when this forgetfulness becomes a more regular occurrence, it affects our day-to-day living and affects people around us, especially the people we live and work with.

Stop Smoking Now


Last year the United States unveiled nine graphic health warning labels that must cover half the area of cigarette packages by this September.  In Australia, an Australian court upheld a law requiring "plain-packaged" cigarettes, with no corporate branding on the pack.

Why Bananas Are Good For You


Bananas are definitely not just for monkeys anymore...if you want to believe the stereotype.  If any of those uses do surprise you, check out the Care2 site to learn more about these suggestions and how bananas make these work.

There are also numerous health benefits we can get from bananas. 

Soda and Our Bodies


Did you know that there is plenty of truth to the "scary" stories you hear from natural health advocates about the dangers of sodas. That's right! It's not just some anti-soda company campaign that's going around. It's the truth and manufacturers with millions of dollars to spend on advertising try to convince you otherwise. And then they invest even more money getting fast food and other restaurants to carry their "brand" or "line" of sodas by offering substantial discounts.

Reasons to Eat Fruit

(Click to view larger image)

Many of us adults probably remember how much our parents used to tell us to eat our fruits and vegetables.  Of course, it likely was easier to follow through with eating fruits because they simply had more flavor to them than vegetables.  Plus there's a natural sweetness to them that made them so much more tasty.

Nowadays, with so many busy lifestyles and eating on the run, it's hard to eat fresh fruits and vegetables.  It's no wonder why fiber shakes, vitamin shakes, and similar "liquid food replacement" products fly off the store shelves as quickly as they do.
