Eat more fat! Omega-3, that is.


Imagine going to your doctor and hearing: "You just aren’t eating enough fat. You need more". Would you think you were dreaming? Well, it may sound crazy — and you have about as much chance hearing it from your own doctor as you do of seeing pigs fly — but it’s true!


There is a catch:
If you want to stay healthy, live longer, and avoid diseases like depression, brain disorders, heart problems, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, even cancer — you have to eat the RIGHT KIND of fat.

But of course it isn’t the fat commonly found in doughnuts, french fries and fast food take-out.

This 'good' fat is known as Omega-3. It is the kind of fat that has been shown by scientific and medical studies to:
-Counteract your risk of stroke and heart disease (so you can kick back and enjoy your relaxed retirement years)…
-Slash your risk of cancer, particularly of the prostate, colon and breast…
-Outfight autoimmune and inflammatory diseases like rheumatoid, lupus, M.S. and psoriasis (and the pain and activity-limiting stiffness that accompany them)…
-Boost healthy insulin response and relieve neurological symptoms associated with insulin-dependent diabetes…
-Block the development of depression (and catastrophic brain diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s)…
-Combat behavioral problems like ADHD, autism, even angry and violent behavior…

So get yourself healthy and learn all about Omega-3!
