4 Good Reasons to Discover DHA Supplements

November 28th, 2011 by libertees

Before you buy DHA supplements, take a little time to learn about the different ones on the market.  There might be better choices.  It really depends on why you are interested in supplementation.

For the Brain

In studies concerning depression, a combination of Docosahexaenoic acid and Eicosapentaenoic acid was shown to be more effective than either of the omega-3s, alone.  In the studies that focused on attention deficit disorders in children, fish oil was given.  Fish oil contains several different omega-3 fatty acids, as well as other fats.  The content varies.  So, it is important to read the label, carefully, before you buy.

DHA supplements derived from marine algae do not have the same complex nature that is found in natural fish oils.  There is reason to believe, as you’ll read about later in this article, that there is more to the health benefits of fish oil than the omega-3 content, alone.

For the Heart

DHA supplements have proven to be more effective in lowering total blood triglycerides and at improving the blood’s HDL (good) cholesterol concentration.  So, for that benefit, any of the supplements on the market will do.  But, in order to see a marked reduction in triglycerides, you would need to take about 3000mg per day.  The average supplement on the market contains only about 200mg.  The better fish oils contain about 280mg.  So, you can see that it is unfeasible to take 3000mg of DHA alone every day.

For the Baby

Pregnant and nursing women need more omega-3s than the average person.  Exactly how much has yet to be firmly established, but some doctors recommend a minimum of 500mg per day.

You would need a good fish oil supplement to get that much in two capsules.  Otherwise, you would need to take more and more might not be a good idea.  The safety of high doses of fish oil or high doses of other DHA supplements has yet to be verified.

For Your Joints

For your joints and for the rest of your body, the main benefit of the supplement is due to the anti-inflammatory activity.  There has been some debate about whether there is any “real” anti-inflammatory activity or if the benefits are due solely to modulating inflammation; preventing it from getting worse, you might say.

A recent study should put the debate to rest.  A regular fish oil supplement was shown to have about half the anti-inflammatory activity of aspirin.

A concentrated supplement was shown to have a little more anti-inflammatory activity, but surprisingly, to researchers, a supplement that contained a combination of the concentrated ester and the natural triglycerides had the most anti-inflammatory activity, even though the omega-3 content was lower.

Surprising Benefits of Fish Oil

November 25th, 2011 by libertees

Sure, you might have heard through the grapevine that fish oil is a revolutionary way to improve your health––but have you heard all of the surprising benefits of it? Unless you’ve deliberately studied it and all of its many positive effects, you’re sure to be caught by surprise by some of these truly amazing benefits that fish oil provides people just like you.

Depression and Anxiety

No, this oil doesn’t cause depression and anxiety; it actually helps it! As unusual as it might seem at first, your mood can actually be altered for the better if you take it. Honestly, this is a fairly recent development in the field of alternative treatments for depression, but there’s already strong evidence to suggest a correlation between better moods and fish oil.

This is likely because an essential fatty acid called DHA is found in fish oil, and DHA comprises 60% of your brain! Even without delving too deep into the physical and chemical minutiae, having more DHA could mean that your brain has more resources available to produce serotonin and other critical biochemicals in your brain. Studies have shown a distinct drop in depression and suicides (and even homocides) among those who consume a lot of fish rich in Omega-3 Essential Fatty Acids.

Cancer

Depending on the type of cancer you have or hare hoping to prevent, there are some surprising benefits of this oil in this regard as well. The main thing that scientists have noticed is that this oil actually acts as a fighter against and a deterrent to cancerous cells. It also helps against weight loss in cancer patients undergoing treatment.

Type II Diabetes

There are a number of complications that come with Type II diabetes. Some examples include stroke, heart attack, blindness, amputations, heart disease, etc. While there are different reasons for most of these symptoms, fish oil can actually treat almost all of them because of its unique properties. Blood thickness results from too much blood sugar, and fish oil acts as a blood thinner. It also lowers the risk of heart trouble by lowering triglycerides, improving cholesterol and breaking up clots.

Pregnancy and Fertility

Because fish oil has all of all those critical components that help you, think about the surprising benefits of fish oil that you might be able to give your child, both as a fetus and as a newborn who’s nursing. The DHA in fish oil can help babies with healthy eye and brain development. Pregnant women who are taking pharmaceutical-grade oil supplements also have a lower risk of premature births, miscarriages, etc. Plus, remember how it can help with depression? Pregnant women might avoid or decrease the severity of post-partum depression too.

Conclusion

Now you can see that there quite a few surprising benefits of fish oil. There might be a lot of things that this oil does that people aren’t even aware of yet. It truly is a promising new development in health, and as long as you get the pharmaceutical-grade variety (without all the toxins and contaminants often found in fish), you’ll really benefit your health.

Fish Oil For Women Can Be A Great Health Benefit

November 18th, 2011 by libertees

I would like to share with you a few of the many healthful advantages there are for taking fish oil for women. This great supplement consists of essential fatty acids that are necessary for good heart health, stabilizing heart rhythm, lowering artery-clogging triglycerides, and producing a slight drop in blood pressure. A Harvard study showed that eating fish five times a week reduced a woman’s risk of dying from a heart attack by 45%.

Many of us women have had slight problems with depression whether it has been from premenstrual syndrome, feeling blue after having a baby, or during menopause. Dr Joseph Hibbeln, MD, who studies the health benefits of fish at the National Institute of Health has stated that omega3 fatty acids found in fish elevate levels of dopamine and serotonin, which are two chemicals in the brain. His research finds that people who took adequate amounts of fish oil were less likely to have problems with depression and anxiety (Reader’s Digest Sept. ’09).

A manual that has much helpful health information including taking fish oil for women during pregnancy is the book What to Expect When You are Expecting by Heidi Murkoff and others. She states that along with many health benefits for fetal brain development and proper retinal growth, DHA (the omega3 polyunsaturated fatty acid found in this oil) has also been portrayed as a major factor in reducing mood swings in pregnant women as well as decreasing the risk of postpartum depression.

Increased moisture content of the skin, and better strength and texture of a person’s hair have also been attributed as benefits of fish oil. The hair and skin requires good polyunsaturated fats just like the heart does, and responds to an increase in the good fats in our diet by becoming more healthy and vibrant. Many women start taking fish oil for reasons unrelated to skin health and have been pleasantly surprised when they see positive results in more than one area of their body.

I have found it to be difficult to eat enough fish to get the adequate amounts of omega3 fatty acid we need to keep our bodies flourishing. There have been many cautions about high mercury levels in certain fish, and the FDA as well as the Environmental Protection Agency has issued warnings recommending that women of childbearing age and small children eat no more than 12 ounces of seafood per week. They stated that large doses of mercury could damage developing brains, causing learning difficulties and other problems. King mackerel, swordfish, shark, and tilefish are four fish that have been found to be extremely high in mercury levels and should be avoided entirely.

One way to get the health boost of fish without the threat of contaminants is to take this oil in the form of dietary supplements. Look for supplements that have been molecularly distilled guaranteeing you a pure product. I have only touched the surface of the many health benefits of fish oil for women. I hope you do more research on this vital nutrient as you seek to look and feel great.

Fish Oil and Postpartum Depression

November 17th, 2011 by libertees

One medication that has just received a great deal of attention lately is fish oil and its ability to prevent Postpartum Depression. But what is Postpartum Depression? Postpartum depression or PPD is also known as postnatal depression. This is a form of a clinical depression which may have an effect on women after she gives birth, and at times, also men are affected by this.

Postpartum depression happens in women after they give birth, usually in the first few months after giving birth. Warning signs include sadness, irritability, anxiety, fatigue, appetite changes, crying parts, insomnia and reduced libido. This condition is resplendently familiar.

There is some initial confirmation to suggest that the omega-3 fatty acids that can be found in fish and fish oil, including Eicosapentanoic acid or EPA and Docosahexanoic acid or DHA, have an antidepressant effect. It has been discovered that during pregnancy, mothers selectively transfer DHA to their baby and through the breast milk to support neurological development in the developing child. Studies show that Omega 3 fatty acid will also improve the growth of the brain and visual system of the fetus. Thus, child-bearing women may become depleted of DHA, and it has been assumed that DHA deficiency may make mothers more susceptible to depression during the postpartum period. So, eating more fish during pregnancy may reduce the risk of postpartum depression.

Consuming alpha-linolenic acid from flaxseed oil or other vegetable oils could not be as effective as taking fish oil, because the ability of the body to convert alpha-linolenic acid to docosahexaenoic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid is limited.

Obtaining appropriate rest, nutrition, and support are very significant, in view of the fact that being exhausted or sleep deprived or feeling stressed can add force to and fuel feelings of depression and sadness.

However, some experts also warned pregnant women about eating too much fish because of mercury contamination. Because of this, it is important for pregnant and those nursing women to use fish oil products that are not high in mercury, so as not to expose the fetus or infant to extreme amounts of this toxic metal. It can be hard to get what you need from your diet. It is better to consult your doctor first if the supplement is right for you. A doctor who is trained to diagnose, treat, and stop postpartum depression will be able to make a precise assessment of fish oil’s efficiency, particular to the needs of the mother or mother-to-be.

Five Fish Oil Supplement Benefits

November 17th, 2011 by libertees

Currently, there is a sudden increase in the demand of fish oil supplement. It gained its popularity from the numerous benefits it gives to its consumers. Furthermore, more of the fish oil supplement benefits are still being discovered but some are already in the news and magazines. If you have no knowledge about this, here are 5 tested and proven supplement benefits.

Fish oil supplements have sufficient amount of omega 3 fatty acids, mainly EPA. This fatty acid has the ability to relief pain and gives positive effect on the inflammatory reaction. Through complex mechanisms, it help regulate the body’s inflammation response. As a result, it relieves painful health complications such as arthritis, cystitis and prostatitis.

Fish oil in supplements is acquired naturally from fish like herring, tuna and salmon. Hence, it is safe for individual with health problems such as high cholesterol level, and heart diseases. It is not only safe but it can help alleviate symptoms of high blood pressure and heart disease. It lowers tryglicerides and LDL cholesterol in the body while improving the HDL cholesterol level.

In addition, these supplements prevent health diseases like stroke and heart attack. A person suffers from stroke or heart attack if there is a blood clot due to plaque on the arterial walls. When the clot moves to the brain area and gets stuck, the person will have a stroke. On the contrary, if the clot blocks the artery, the person will suffer from heart attack. With omega 3 fatty acids, these clots break up. This just means one of the supplement benefits is to let live longer and healthier.

Fish oil supplements also increase the potential of a baby. Pregnant or nursing women, who give it to their babies, can grow intelligent and happy babies free from childhood disorders. More so, adults will also have better brain functioning with these supplements. This includes improved memory and reasoning, and enhanced focus. Hence, everyone who uses these supplements is not only healthier but also feels younger and smarter.

Furthermore, fish oil supplements ease the signs of depression, psychosis and bipolar. This is very crucial because more and more Americans get depressed about their life. In extreme cases, these Americans give up their life and commit suicide. With these supplements, you can prevent depression from conquering your life.

Lastly, fish oil supplements can prevent cancer, including breast cancer, colon cancer and prostate cancer. To prevent cancer, omega 3 fatty acids stop the development of cancerous mass, slow down unwanted cellular growth and prevent the cells from dying.

As you can see there is no better way to live healthier, longer, younger and smarter at the same time free from health diseases than consuming these supplements. These are just some of the fish oil supplements benefits and there are more to come. So, how about taking advantages of the benefits of fish oil supplements now. There is no better and less expensive cure than prevention.

Omega3 Benefits – Discover 3 Important Health Benefits of Fish Oil Supplements

November 10th, 2011 by libertees

What if I told you omega3 benefits you more than you think. We all know that omega 3 supplements helps reduce high blood pressure, control cholesterol levels and aid in lowering the risk factors for heart disease. But, did you know there are even more health benefits of fish oil you should know about.

It is no wonder the omega3 supplement companies are a booming industry. Those essential fatty acids do more than keep your heart healthy, they also help your memory, increase energy and aid in weight loss to name a few.

It has been proven through research and science that by taking high-quality fish oil supplements, your health and wellness improves. Take a look at the other omega3 benefits important to you and your family:

Three Omega 3 Health Benefits

1. Inflammatory and Auto-Immune Conditions — research has shown that consuming adequate amounts of omega-3 EPA and DHA helps reduce the risk of inflammatory conditions, including: exercise-induced asthma, prostate cancer and children’s type 1 diabetes.

Additional research has also found that the consumption of an omega3 supplement may improve other inflammation-related conditions, like: chronic fatigue syndrome, inflammatory skin disorders such as psoriasis, multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis.

2. Pregnancy and Breastfeeding — omega3 benefits pregnant and breastfeeding women. It is very important that women eat plenty of foods rich EPA and DHA since they are required for the development of a healthy nervous system and vision.

Also, omega3 benefits women who have taken plenty of EPA and DHA because then they’re not as likely to experience a premature birth or postpartum depression.

3. Overall Physical Well-Being — your body does need EPA and DHA essential fatty acids, so it’s vital that these fats be consumed through your diet. Unfortunately, typical Western diets are deficient in EPA and DHA fatty acids that are found in cold-water oily fish.

And since they’re as important to your health as vitamins and minerals, it’s not surprising that omega3 EPA and DHA have been shown to support overall physical well-being.

So there you have it, health benefits important to you and your family. I suggest you do a bit of research and discover many more benefits of fish oil that can help you.

I encourage you to look into high-quality omega3 supplement products, because many companies today produce low-quality, impure and ineffective fish oils.

Some Medicine That Can Help Fight Bronchitis

May 24th, 2010 by libertees

There are basically two kinds of bronchitis, acute and chronic bronchitis. These two may have the same last names but they vary from their causative effects and treatment prescribed to control the diseases.

Acute bronchitis is a short-term illness that becomes rampant during the cold seasons. It is usually followed by a viral infection and can go together with a bacterial infection. Acute bronchitis is self-limiting which clears itself within fourteen days but the cough may continue. Like any other upper respiratory tract infections, having acute bronchitis can raise chance of developing pneumonia.

People who are at risk of getting acute bronchitis are infants, very young children, and the old adults. This is due to the fact that infants and very young children still have underdeveloped immune systems, while the old adults, on the other hand, have immune systems that have become weaker due to ageing. Other group populations who are at risk are smokers and those with preexisting lung and/or heart ailments. People who are often exposed to pollution are also at risk of being afflicted with acute bronchitis.

Chronic bronchitis is also an inflammation of the respiratory tract with an accompaniment of phlegm expectoration and coughing. But in chronic bronchitis, the signs ands symptoms are at hand for no less than 3 months for two successive years.

Chronic bronchitis may be caused by the inhalation of respiratory airway irritants. Airway irritants may be in the form of cigarette smoking or pollution or a combination of both. Because this disease advances gradually, middle aged individuals and the elderly are expected to be diagnosed with this malady.

The main objective for the treatment of both acute and chronic bronchitis is to alleviate the symptoms.

For acute bronchitis, treatment consists of lots of intake of fluids, quitting smoking, taking a break, humidifying the home environment, and medications (in case of fever and pain). Acetaminophen is the most prescribed medication to fight pain and fever. Another is aspirin, but this is contraindicated for children and pregnant women due to the fact that this drug is suspected to be the cause of Reye’s syndrome among children. For women, it may cause severe bleeding.

Anti-cough medicines are taken when the sufferer experiences dry cough (cough without phlegm). But if the individual is experiencing cough with phlegm, then it should be left as it is and let the phlegm come out naturally. This is because if cough is suppressed and the phlegm is contained within, then it will eventually accumulate in the air passages which will cause an obstruction and may become a hotbed for dangerous microorganisms.

Expectorants, on the other hand, are medications that help liquidify or thin out the thick mucus in the lungs to make it easier to cough out.

Moreover, if the physician has detected a bacterial infection then an antibiotic medication may be prescribed. Intake of antibiotic medications should be done religiously as the physician ordered because any lapse may only cause the return of the disease or worse, the bacteria may produce a strain that could become immune to the medication.

Antibiotic medications may include the following: ? azithromycin ? trimethoprim or sulfamethazole ? clarithromycin ? tetracycline or ampicillin ? amoxicillin (for children below eight years of age due to the fact that tetracycline causes discoloration on the teeth that have not come out)

As for chronic bronchitis, treatment is a bit more multifaceted than acute bronchitis. The physician would need to carefully evaluate the patient for other health problems before a treatment plan can be employed to control the disease. Including in the treatment plan are changes in lifestyle that will involve stoppage of smoking and keeping away from polluted environments. Regular exercise may also help in the control of the disease.

Medications for chronic bronchitis include anti-inflammatory medications and bronchodilators. Anti-inflammatory drugs decrease the inflammation in the respiratory tract tissues.

The following are commonly prescribed anti-inflammatory drugs: ? Corticosteroids (i.e. prednisone, can be taken either as an oral medication or through IV) ? Ipratropium (also reduces the amount of mucus produced)

Meanwhile, bronchodilators help loosen up the bronchial muscles which then permits increase air flow in the respiratory passages. These can be taken in orally or by inhalation through a nebulizer (an apparatus that transport medication to the respiratory tract). Bronchodilators may include the following: ? metaproterenol ? albuterol

With the advancement of chronic bronchitis, the individual afflicted may eventually require supplemental oxygen. And in the later stages of the disease, the patient may need to be in the hospital if he or she developed severe complications.

In addition to conventional medications, herbal medicines can be also included in the treatment plan. Herbal medicines may be inhaled (like eucalyptus) or taken as tea made from mullein or Verbascum thapsus, coltsfoot or Tussilago farfara, and anise seed or Pimpinella anisum.

There are numerous medications out there and it is best to consult the physician to know which drug can best help treat and/or control bronchitis.
