5 Surprising Benefits of Fish Oil - By: Dr Bill

I'm taking a short break from writing about super duper sizzling sex, which may last at least a few paragraphs, if you're lucky and I don't run out of things to say about the product that started it all, my Powerhouse Omega Formula, which has been in the marketplace for almost two years.

Today, I wanted to yack a bit about the proven, scientific benefits of my Powerhouse Omega Formula, which is a high potency, concentrated, pharmaceutical grade fish oil that comes in an enteric coated soft gel.

1) Fish oil can help you fight the blues, or beat depression.

Scientists at the University of Montreal just published the largest study yet on fish oil's effect on depression. They showed that when patients with moderate depression took 1,200 mg of a quality fish oil, their depression improved significantly. The scientists believe that the omega-3's in fish oil improve the function of some chemicals (neurotransmitters) in the brain.

2) Omega-3's reduce joint pain and inflammation.

If you take aspirin, or ibuprofen, to reduce joint pain, you should add fish oil to your regimen. The newest studies show that you can reduce pain meds, when you take fish oil. The genius lads at Harvard Medical School have shown that the body converts omega-3 fatty acids into joint protective compounds. These compounds are called resolvins, which become 10,000 times stronger than the original omega-3's.

3) Fish oil helps buffet molesters lose weight.

Having lost about 60 pounds last year, I know a bit about this, personally. There are two types of polyunsaturated fats, omega-3's and omega-6's. Both are essential, meaning the body can't
manufacture them, so you must ingest them in your diet. Omega-3 is not stored as body fat, because it gets put to work immediately...it's burned as energy, so no weight gains with omega-3's.

Omega-6 fatty acids are also essential fats, but are present in overwhelming amounts in the Western diet, especially in fast foods, which tend to hang around in fat deposits, all over your body. Look for omega-6 fatty acids on labels and don't use the stuff. The biggest offenders are corn oil, soy oil, sunflower oil, and safflower oil. Switch to olive oil instead, an omega-9, or
monosaturated oil.

4) Fish Oil Reduces Tryglycerides.

Heart health is at the top of the food chain, regarding fish oil. Most health practitioners focus on cholesterol, which we are finding out may not be the villain we have been led to believe. But high trigylcerides result in high cholesterol, so controlling the triglycerides also controls the levels of total cholesterol.

5) Fish Oil helps with blood pressure.

Not enough people take fish oil to help with blood pressure. Johns Hopkins School of Medicine reviewed 17 studies, 11 of which gave fish oil to folks with normal blood pressure and 7 of which gave fish oil to folks with high blood pressure. In both groups, they noticed a sharp decrease in systolic and diastolic blood pressures.
