The Health Benifits of EFA
The Benifits of EFA...
1.INCREASE ENERGY PERFORMANCE AND STAMINA: help build muscle and prevent muscle breakdown, and accelerate fatigue recovery.
2.STRENGTHEN BONES: help to prevent osteoporosis by aiding in the transport of minerals that keep bones and teeth strong.
3.PROMOTE HEALTHY IMMUNE SYSTEM FUNCTION: produce eicosanoids that regulate inflammatory and immune responses, lowering inflammation and slowing autoimmune damage (arthritis).
4.AID IN WEIGHT LOSS: enhance thermogenesis. Recent data also suggests EFAs have been found to block fat producing genes.
5.HELP MAINTAIN A HEALTHY HEART: lower high blood pressure, cholesterol, triglycerides, inflammation, and formation of clots.
6.SPEED THE HEALING PROCESS: form cell membranes and are essential for cell growth and division.
7.ENHANCE BRAIN FUNCTION: are necessary to make serotonin, the neurotransmitter essential to the entire nervous system. Mood and behavior disorders are linked to decreased levels of EFAs.
8.PRODUCE HEALTHY HAIR, SOFT SKIN, AND STRONG NAILS: insufficient amounts of EFAs result in dull hair, dry skin, and brittle nails.

Heart Health
Are you taking care of your Heart’s Health???
One of the greatest joys in life is being healthy and fit…Exercise and proper nutrition will improve the hearts health…and increase life expectancy…The health of your heart is the most important aspect of being healthy…As we age it is of the utmost importance to take care of the heart’s health…
This fact may surprise you …in 75% of all heart attacks…cholesterol levels are normal…Cholesterol is an outdated indicator for heart disease…
The theory that cholesterol causes heart disease…is an outdated, hypothesis, postulated by Ancel Keyes way back in the 1950’s… not to mention… the theory was flawed from the beginning… and was never really tested properly…
Today when you go to most physicians or cardiologists…statins are being prescribed and used to block the production of cholesterol… Statin drugs such as Lipitor, Crestor or any other statin medication…have severe, life threatening side effects...severe muscle cell damage, polyneuropathy, kidney failure, loss of energy and strength, pain and weakness in the muscles and joints, congestive heart failure, liver damage, impaired memory loss and confusion…
With continued use of statins…it is not a matter of if...it is a matter of when…will you go into heart failure…Basic Biochemistry…Statins block the production of Co-enzyme Q10…CoQ10 is critical for the function and health of the cellular mitochondria...as a result…skeletal and cardiac muscle begin to break down…resulting in pain, loss of strength and energy…eventually this breakdown leads to heart failure…
February is Heart Healthy Month and if you are taking statins…this just might be the time to find a good, open minded physician to help you get off of statins...Also you can get started on an exercise and nutrition plan that will help you build a healthy heart...From a heart healthy perspective…there are natural, and much safer ways to reduce inflammation and oxidative stress to our arteries…
