Omega-3 And High Blood Pressure

High Blood Pressure is the invisible disease. It gives you no outward signs, no shortness of breath or swollen fingers. No painful symptoms to let you know that there is something wrong. Nothing to warn you of high blood pressure.

Today only one third of us who have this problem are being treated. And half of them do not follow their doctor’s advice to make sure they bring their blood pressure down.

Why? Because it is essentially painless, until it is too late that is why.

High blood pressure is the silent killer

Sixty million Americans are 7 times more likely to have a stroke than their fellow citizens, because their blood pressure is too high.

Make sure you are not one of them.

Most doctors agree that high blood pressure is usually caused by one of the 3 “S`s”. That is: Do you smoke? Do you take too much salt, or are you under a bit of Stress (Who isn’t).

We`ll cure these problems One by One.  

Salt First: In order for your body to excrete the salt you will need more water in your system. The salt in your body must be diluted. By the time you you become to the pension age, (And there is no problem with that) you will need extra water to dilute the salt in your body.

But do not drink pint after pint of water to dilute the salt, eat more salads and water bearing foods. 

PS, cut down on the salt anyway.

Stop Smoking. Full Stop… Cop yourself on and stop smoking once and for all.

Stress. Now this is a different question altogether, no problem with cutting out the salt and never buy another cigarette, but how do you control your stress? That’s the million-dollar question. 

So where are we in the problem of reducing your blood pressure?: You are reducing your salt intake, you have stopped smoking, so all you have to do now is be less stressful.

Today the doctors call stress “Hypertension” and they will give you a pill to calm you down.

We, you and I do not believe in “PILLS” to calm us down, instead we believe in the natural way to alleviate our stress levels, and the way we do that is good nutrition, exercise and a daily supplement of Omega-3 fatty acids.

Omega-3 can help in your stress control, we all need a certain amount of stress, infact stress is good for you, you just need to control and understand it. 

However if you are going to control your stress with Omega-3 supplements make sure you do yourself justice.

Which Omega-3?  

Omega-3 essential fatty acids have long been recognised for their significant health benefits. Clinical studies have determined that the main benefits are derived from DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid) and to a lesser extent EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid).

Although you will receive various health benefits from Omega 3`s when taken from plant sources such as flax seed, you may miss out on the special benefits from DHA and EPA. This is because your body has to convert the Omega 3`s into DHA and EPA.

If your health is compromised in any way, or you are elderly this conversion process may not take place.

• Only fish oils provide DHA and EPA in a natural form that your body can easily assimilate. No conversion is required by the body. However, natural fish oils have a number of drawbacks

• High levels of contaminants in the form of PCB's, and heavy metals including mercury from contaminated waters.

• As most fish oil in capsules does not come from the same country where it is encapsulated it is subject to transport in tankers, additional handling and additives to prevent it from becoming rancid.

• Low levels of DHA which is the most beneficial component of fish oil.
