The health benefits of taking fish oil have been known for decades. Most of us as children were not given multivitamins or calcium with Vitamin D, yet a teaspoon of cod liver oil was administered by diligent mothers to help develop healthy young bodies. Fish oil has since been found to lubricate joints, help support a healthy heart and reduce inflammation. In fact taking fish oil which is rich in Omega-3 fatty acids is beneficial to almost every part of the body and is known as the "building blocks of good health". Our bodies need omega-3 to survive and we cannot produce it ourselves; we must get it from our diet and the natural supplements we take.

Scientific research has more recently found a new and more concentrated source of these essential fatty acids – krill oil. Krill are tiny crustaceans which live in the cold Antarctic Ocean which has far less heavy metals and pollutants than other seas. This means that krill oil supplements are less likely to be contaminated with mercury whilst still giving the same benefits as fish oil.

Research published in 2009 showed that krill oil supplements substantially reduced the fat in the heart and liver compared to regular fish oil. Krill oil is also a good source of one of the most powerful antioxidants in nature, called astaxanthin.

The Omega-3 content of krill oil comes in the form of phospholipids, rather than triglycerides. Phospholipids are important for maintaining a healthy cell structure and are more easily absorbed. Krill oil also does not have the nasty aftertaste which fish oil has, another benefit over fish oil, and krill oil supplements have a longer shelf-life than regular fish oil.

For those who still remain unconvinced that krill oil supplements are better than fish oil, there is a strong ecological argument for switching to krill. Krill is sustainable and renewable. This means even if everyone switches to krill oil it will not deplete the supply of krill, unlike the seriously declining numbers of cod and menhaden, the two main sources of fish oil.

Most people today need to add more of the omega 3 oils to their diet. These are considered the healthy oils. Instead, most of us consume an overabundance of omega 6 oils which can cause an imbalance in our system. Getting enough omega 3 oils is important in prevention and improvement of different illness and health problems. They have been credited as being a significant help for the good health of our brain and our heart. Omega 3 oils help fight sleep disorders, depression, diabetes, ADHD, Alzheimers, arthritis, strokes and skin disorders.

Previously, eating fish at least twice a week was recommended as a good source of omega 3 oils.  Unfortunately, most of us don’t consume enough fish to meet this recommendation and concerns about the industrial pollutants and toxins like mercury in fish, keep many of us from consuming enough of the Omega 3’s that we need.

You might think that adding fish oil supplements to your diet would be an ideal solution. However, there is another option.  It is considered one of the most important supplemental sources available today. Healthy Choice Naturals is excited to offer you a more effective, highly absorbent source of Omega 3’s in our Double Potency Pure Antarctic Krill Oil.

Just what are Krill?

Krill are small, shrimp like creatures that are abundant in the waters of the arctic regions.  In many regions they are the primary feed for the great whales, seals, penguins, sea birds, squid and fish. An adult whale eats up to 8,000 pounds of krill each day during feeding season.

Krill have been harvested as a food source for both humans and domesticated animals since the 1800s. The oil derived from Krill is rich in phospholipids, the building blocks for cell membranes, and Essential Fatty Acids including Omega-3, 6 and 9.

Why take Krill instead of Fish Oil?

So why take krill instead of fish oil?  These two great reasons.  Krill is an extremely high source of antioxidants and your body can metabolize it more completely than fish oil.

Why is krill oil easier to absorb than fish oil? The omega 3 fatty acids in krill oil are bound together in a phospholipid chain instead of the less beneficial triglyceride form found in fish oil. It so happens that the fats in the cells of the human body are also in the form of phospholipids. These phospholipids are the building blocks of cell membranes and they protect your cells from free radical damage.  The special relationship between phospholipids and omega-3 fatty acids in krill enables antioxidants to get through your intestinal walls and into your cells.

Essential fatty acids (EFAs) include both omega-3 fats (high in the vital compounds EPA and DHA) and omega-6 fats. EFAs are called essential because your body cannot make them and therefore, EFAs must be obtained through your diet.  Krill oil is exceptionally high in DHA and EPA.

Breathe Easy With Omega-3 Fatty Acids

As a regular reader of the Healthy Choice Naturals, you already know about the many health benefits of omega-3 fatty acids. This essential fat – mostly found in fish – is critical for heart and brain health. But there is also evidence that omega-3s help with breathing and lung-related conditions like asthma and COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease).

Japanese researchers split COPD sufferers into two groups. One ate a diet rich in omega-3s, the other an “average” diet. After 15 months, the group that got the extra omega-3s not only showed dramatic improvement in their ability to exercise, their inflammation and shortness of breath dropped too.

For best results, an adult should consume about 3,200 mg of omega-3s per day.

Understanding the facts on fat is a confusing process.  You read terms such as trans fat, saturated fat, omega-3s and cholesterol.  One day the headlines tell you fat is a killer, but the next day they insist it is crucial to human existence. It’s so confusing?

Luckily, it’s not as baffling as it seems.  Fat is a vital part of all diets that, like anything else, needs to be consumed in moderation.  What’s important is understanding the good fats from the bad fats and knowing how to identify them in the food we eat.

The Good

Like carbohydrates, fat is fuel for the body and especially useful for long-term aerobic exercise. It helps with the digestion of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K and it promotes a feeling of fullness after eating.

It plays an important part in the production of prostaglandins, hormone-like compounds that regulate blood pressure, heart rate, blood vessel constriction, blood clotting and the nervous system.

Fat also provides essential fatty acids, in particular omega-3, which is found in several fats and oils, mainly fish, soy and flax seed.  Omega-3 fatty acids help us with brain development, nervous system function and eyesight. Many experts also believe they reduce the risk of arthritis,  high blood pressure, and heart disease.

The Bad

Just like proteins and carbohydrates, eating fat requires some self control. About 20-30% of your calories should be from fat.  Higher percentages can put you at increased risk for obesity, diabetes and heart problems. A gram of fat is 9 calories, as opposed to 4 calories in a gram of protein or carbohydrates so you should be eating about half as much.

The Ugly

Our bodies need cholesterol.  It is important in the creation and maintenance of cell membranes, the creation of sex hormones, and, combined with sunlight, it creates vitamin D. But our bodies create all the cholesterol we need. Therefore eating a lot of it clogs your arteries, increasing your risk of heart attack.  Cholesterol is controlled by maintaining a healthy diet, one that is low in fat.

Types of Fat

Monounsaturated Fats contain HDLs, which can help prevent heart disease by flushing out your system. Monounsaturated fats are also more resistant to oxidation, something that leads to cell and tissue damage. They can be found in olives and olive oils, peanuts, canola oil, avocados and many nuts.

Polyunsaturated Fat– Omega-3s are polyunsaturated fats which help with brain development, nervous function, eyesight and many other benefits. They’re also packed with HDLs. Many vegetable oils, including safflower, sunflower and soy, are polyunsaturated.  Fish is also an excellent source.

Saturated Fat – You want to limit the amount of situated fats you eat as this is considered a “bad” fat.  For the most part, these fats are loaded with LDLs, which means they can cause high cholesterol. Saturated fats can be found in red meat, whole dairy products and tropic oils such as coconut oil.

Trans Fat – These are the fats you want to avoid.  Processed food manufacturers discovered that if you hydrogenate polyunsaturated vegetable oils, they’d become more solid and spoil later which helps packaged food last longer. Today, they are used in most commercial baked goods — cookies, crackers, donuts, pie, cake, as well as shortenings, candy, and margarines. Tran’s fats will raise your cholesterol levels which can hurt your heart and health.

We all need to consume the “good fats” and the common eating patterns of most American’s  make the need to supplement a reality.  Healthy Choice Naturals offers several supplements containing the “good fats” you need to protect and maintain your healthy future.

Scientists at Sweden’s famed Karolinska Institute have discovered that eating fatty fish, even just a few times per month can significantly reduce the risk of kidney cancer. In the late 1980s, these researchers carefully surveyed 90,000 Swedish women – and then reviewed their health status 10 or more years later.

They found that the women who consumed at least one portion of fatty fish per week reduced their risk of kidney cancer by 74 percent compared to women who never ate fatty fish. That is a remarkable risk reduction – but here is the important part. The scientists found no risk reduction from consuming lean, white-fleshed fish.

So, what’s the difference? According to a recent article by Dr. Ralph Moss, a noted cancer researcher, “oily fish contains up to 30 times more omega-3 fatty acids and three to five times more vitamin D than lean fish.” Laboratory studies have shown that these two nutrients are strongly protective against a variety of cancers, in addition to their multiple cardiovascular benefits. (They can reduce LDL cholesterol and triglycerides and lower the risk of stroke and heart disease.)

Wild fish (known to be free of mercury) is an excellent source of protein. But if you want all the nutritional benefits of fish, be sure to include those with high fat content in your diet. Tuna, cod, and shellfish are poor choices in this regard. Wild salmon, sardines, and mackerel are best. All of these fish are available fresh, frozen or canned.
