"The Missing Link?" 
You should get more information about essential fatty acids!
"Omega-3 Fatty Acids - The Missing Link?"
The benefits of this nutrient are numerous and long-established. They
include
helping with premenstrual syndrome, hormone synthesis, healthy blood
pressure,
weight loss and joint function as well as improving the condition
of your hair,
skin and nails.
There is evidence that Omega-3s may help reduce the risk and symptoms of
many
disorders such as cancer,heart disease, arthritis, macular degeneration
(age
related blindness), all inflammatory disorders.
Research has shown that they:
The hottest area of research currently, and what I find absolutely
fascinating,
is the effect of essential fatty acids, including the Omega-3s,
depression,
bipolar disorder, and borderline personality disorder.
Successful trials of
treatment for people with these diagnoses have been
documented very recently.
The possibility that so many health issues could be alleviated and treated
with
naturally available fish oils, and that potentially harmful and
sometimes
ineffective drugs that have been used to treat these disorders
could be
replaced, is incredible!
I am just blown away!
Essential fatty acids can be found primarily in oily fish that live in
cold
water, especially salmon, mackerel, sardines, herring, and albacore
tuna.
Tofu and other forms of soybeans, canola, walnut and flaxseed, and
their oils
contain alpha-linolenic acid (LNA). This is a less potent kind of
omega-3
fatty acid.
The ideal amount to take isn’t clear. Evidence suggests that taking
EPA+DHA
ranging from 0.5 to 1.8 grams per day (either as fatty fish or
supplements)
significantly reduces deaths from heart disease and all causes.
For alpha-
linolenic acid, a total intake of 1.5-3 grams per day seems
beneficial.
American Heart Association (AHA) Dietary Guidelines recommends including
at
least two servings of fish (particularly fatty fish) per week.
Don't want to eat
that much fish???

You Don't Have To Hurt!
We have all been hearing about the benefits of glucosamine products.
According to a new research study, long-term treatment with glucosamine
sulfate
has been shown to slow down the progression of knee osteoarthritis.
Approximately
200 patients with the condition randomly received either 1500
mg of oral
glucosamine sulfate daily or a placebo over a period of three
years. Space within
the knee joints of the two groups was measured,and
results showed that the joint
space of the glucosamine group narrowed more
than the placebo group. Researchers
also noted that moderate improvements in
symptoms were experienced in the placebo
group while the glucosmine group
experienced a 20 to 25 percent improvement.
