Fishing for a Natural Cure to Lower Blood Pressure? Try Omega-3s

Studies support that a diet consisting of generous servings of fish, nuts and seeds rich in nutrients called omega-3 fatty acids can help lower a person’s blood pressure.    How so you ask?  Well, a recent study looked at diet and its relation to blood pressure in 4,680 men and woman, ages 40 to 59, who lived in Japan, China, Britain and the US.  They found that people who ate diets rich in omega-3 fatty acids had slightly lower blood pressure, on average, than people who ate less of  the nutrient.

The foods that contain the omega-3 essential fatty acids you need are fatty fish such as trout, salmon and mackerel.  Other food groups such as walnuts, flaxseed and canola oil are also good sources of omega-3 fatty acids.

However, because of our poor diets, it’s very difficult to eat the right amount of foods that contain omega-3 fatty acids…I mean, who can live on fish and nuts?  That’s why it’s important to supplement your diet with a good omega-3 dietary supplement such as Oceanic Naturals Deep Blue Omega - learn more at www.deepblueomega.com.  The Deep Blue Omega purified marine fish oil gives you a powerful dose of important pharmaceutical grade omega oils in just 2 softgel daily capsules.

Not only can Omega-3 fatty acids lower blood pressure, they have also been linked to better brain development and a lower overall risk of cancer and heart disease.

So, pull up a plate of yummy blackened trout or tasty grilled salmon with a delicious dill sauce plus 2 Deep Blue Omega fish oil capsules and be on your way to a healthier, happier you!

'Sea' an Improvement in your Skin

My first experience with sea-based beauty remedies was when I went to a spa for the weekend with my girlfriends.  I enjoyed a wonderful sea salt scrub and then I was gently wrapped in a velvet blanket of seaweed.   My skin practically glowed and was as smooth as glass!  I have since learned that seaweed stimulates and improves blood and lymph circulation, revitalizes and firms the skin while re-establishing your skins natural moisture….who knew! Since then, I have been developing sea-based products such as a multi-nutrient seaweed blend called Tidal Greens - learn more at www.tidalgreens.com.  

Seaweed is full of lipids, proteins, minerals and vitamins which are easy to absorb so your skin glows and looks dewy soft. 

My favorite seaweed is fucus vesiculosus (also known as Bladderwrack) which is one of the ingredients in the Tidal Greens formula.  This is a brown seaweed that is often used in cellulite reducing creams to eliminate excess fluid that in turn helps to diminish those unforgiving lumps and bumps on your thighs that can ruin a perfectly good pair of shorts!

So, the next time you’re at the beach, jump into the ocean - I know, I know, it’s cold - but enjoy the abundant minerals from the sea, let the sea salt heal and soften your skin and incorporate a healthy diet of sea-based nutrition and a superior seaweed supplement such as Tidal Greens.

Ice cream for breakfast?

Sure, why not?!

Omega 3's & You

Omega 3 essential fatty acids that originate from fish oil are a natural cure from the sea.  As scientists look at this humble oil, it seems there is no end to the things it helps support in your body. 

Omega 3 oils are essential nutrients for us, but we cannot make them, so we need to be sure that we are able to take in enough in supplement form to protect our bodies and keep us at our healthiest.  But you don’t want to swallow just any old pill.  You must be sure and get the purest form available because today’s fish can be loaded with heavy metals and toxins.  Deep Blue Omega is one of the purest forms of Omega 3 essential fatty acids available on the market today. 

Omega 3s are turning up in study after study as scientists find the many diseases in which they can play a role.  The FDA recognizes that there is a link between Omega 3 essential fatty acids and heart disease.  But that is just the beginning.  Here are just a few of the many topics that Omega 3 essential fatty acids have been published about in journals and studies:

  • Arthritis
  • Heart Health
  • Brain Health
  • Inflammation
  • Skin and Hair Health
  • Asthma
  • Allergies
  • Depression
  • Alzheimer’s
  • Infant Brain Development
  • Vision
  • Lower Risk of Cancer
  • Autism
  • Crohn’s Disease
  • Lupus
  • ADD/ADHD
  • Mood
  • Respiratory Health

And more studies are being added to the list daily. 

Getting your daily requirement of Omega 3 essential fatty acids would mean you’d have to eat a ton of fish.  More fish than the government recommends is safe to eat due to mercury and other contaminants, and, more fish than you’d even want to eat.  But we’ve made it easy for you by providing a highly purified marine fish oil that is free of that fishy aftertaste and provides all the crucial benefits you need from an Omega 3 supplement.
