Fish Oil- Japan's Secret to Longevity and Beauty Now Yours

For a long time, scientist wondered why people who live in Japan were generally healthier and lived longer than their Western counterparts.

One idea that was put forward was that people in Japan and Asia are generally had more active lifestyles than people in the West. However, scientists believed there was more to it than that.

After years of research, scientists found out that Japanese love of fish was a major contributor to their supreme health and longevity.

 

Fish contains omega 3 essential fatty acids which is fundamental to a strong heart, lower cholesterol and healthy skin. The problem is that we in the West are not getting enough of it.

Actually, Western diets are high in omega 6, the other essential fatty acid. Omega 6 though essential to cell proliferation, blood clotting and immune response, works against you if you consume too much of it.

Fried chicken, cookies and other processed foods all contain this nutrient but consuming too much of these foods is unhealthy.

This imbalance between omega 3 and 6 in Western diets has been partly responsible for the increases of cancer, obesity, hypertension, Alzheimer's and other diseases.

By making one dietary change, that is, to eat more fish, one could decrease the likelihood to getting these dangerous diseases.

However, herein lies another problem. A lot of the fish available contains dangerous contaminants like lead and mercury. These fishes are so affected because they live in polluted coastal waters.

Therefore, the best answer to getting more omega 3 fatty acids in one's diet is to go with fish oil supplementation.

However, be aware that not all fish oil brands are made equal. Actually, many drugs store brands like cod liver oil and shark oil contains hazardous contaminants as well.

That is why you get that horrible fishy taste and burp when you take them. They are rancid and put inside your body substances you do not need.

Therefore, if you are planning to buy a fish oil supplement, you'll need assurances that it is free of contaminants.

Once you take a quality fish oil pill, you couldpotentially experience the following:

• Increased sex drive and stamina

• Reduced risk of cancer and diabetes

• Reduced negative effects from smoking

• Reduces inflammation throughout your body

• Improved mood and reduced stress improved memory

• Enhanced focus and reduction in ADHD

• Protection against arthritis

• Improved quality of hair, skin and nails

• Decreased body fat

• Increased muscle strength

• Better sleep
