Back to School - DHA for the Eyes and Brain
Recent research continues to prove what has been known for many years, that DHA is a vital nutrient in the development of proper eyesight, cognitive function, and learning. It is especially important for a mother to consume DHA during pregnancy and while nursing. If a mother isn’t nursing then a DHA-fortified formula is mandatory. Molecularly distilled DHA is the preferred source as there is no mercury which may be present in fish that are the primary source of dietary DHA. The brain is one of the fattiest organs in the body and will build its structure out of whatever types of fat are in the diet. Imagine the ability of a brain made of French fries, potato chips, corn chips, and other junk food...Read More: DHA
Dietary Fat and Exercise Stimulate Fat Cell Metabolism
Contrary to much faulty dietary advice, new science shows that fat is required, along with exercise, to stimulate fat cells to break down stored fat in overweight individuals. It is quite true that eating too much fat, especially in combination with refined sugar, will lead to weight gain. However, this new information shows that a low-fat diet is not the best way for an overweight person to stimulate weight loss.Read More: DHA, Exercise, fat, fat cells, fatty acids, low fat diet, weight gain
Men Lose More Weight Taking Fish Oil
A study published in the International Journal of Obesity found that men taking fish oil lost the most weight while on a diet, an additional 3 pounds over 8 weeks (for a total of 10 pounds). Eating salmon was also helpful.Read More: DHA, fat metabolism, fish oil, metabolic fitness, metabolism
Dietary Supplements Improve Cognitive Development in Children
European researchers have demonstrated that a multiple vitamin and DHA (fish oil) given regularly to children significantly boosts their learning power and cognitive performance.Read More: children, DHA, Super B Complex
Obesity, Fatty Liver, and Nutrient Deficiency
The accumulation of fat in the liver is a significant health problem that clogs liver function, setting the stage for diabetes and other issues. It is typically occurring in direct relationship to one’s expanding waistline. Researchers just showed that stimulating the metabolism of fat significantly helped mice clear up this problem.Read More: Acetyl-L-Carnitine, Activator Plus™, Choline, DHA, fat metabolism, fatty liver, liver function, Methionine, Pantethine
Skin Integrity is Vital to Natural Immune Defense
The healthy structure of the skin is vital to maintaining the skin’s role as part of the immune system. New research showed that ongoing stress irritated the skin, as nerves are wired directly to the skin. This resulted in a decrease of the integrity of skin itself, an increase of immune-suppressing glucocorticoids in the skin, and a decrease of front line immune soldiers that are naturally part of the skin (antimicrobial peptides).Read More: DHA, glutocorticoids, healthy structure, Hyaluronic Acid, Immune Plus, Repair Plus, skin integrity, Skin Rejuvenator™, Squalene, Super Immune Booster™
FDA Fails Women on Birth Control Safety
A preliminary study shows that for every 10 years of birth control pills there is a 20 – 30 percent increase in peripheral artery small plaques. The study was presented at the yearly meeting of the American Heart Association, placing it in the national news spotlight. News stations have been carrying the story and the typical medical spokespeople are trying to allay the fears of millions of birth control pill users. There are two main issues here: the FDA “ineptitude issue” and the “what to do about it issue.”Read More: arteries, Birth Control, C-reactive protein, DHA, drug testing, FDA, Quercetin, Tocotrienols
DHA for Mental Skills – the Evidence Continues
DHA is the preferred essential fatty acid for the structure of healthy brain cells. A variety of new research clearly shows that the higher the level of omega 3 oils like DHA in the diet and in the blood, the better the brain works.Read More: blood, DHA, dietary supplements, essential fatty acids, fish oil, Leptinal®, molecular distillation, omega 3
DHA Protects Against Parkinson’s
A rather amazing mouse study has just shown that DHA, an important omega-3 essential fatty acid that is known to support healthy brain function, completely protected the brains of mice exposed to a known toxin that routinely produces Parkinson’s disease.Read More: DHA, essential fatty acids, Leptinal®, omega 3, Parkinson's, protective, Super EFA
Folic Acid and DHA for Cognitive Function and Alzheimer’s
New research is explaining the importance of folic acid and DHA for improved cognitive function and prevention of neuro-degeneration. Folic acid is found to lower the brain and cardiovascular irritant, homocysteine. It directly improves brain function and helps to raise the levels of DHA in the blood. DHA is known to help generate new nerve growth, improve nerve transmission and connectivity, enhance nerve-related memory factors, and reduce brain inflammation.Read More: Acetyl-L-Carnitine, Alzheimer's, Carnosine, cognitive function, dementia, DHA, essential fatty acids, Folic Acid, homocysteine, neurodegeneration, PhosphatidylSerine PS, Stress Helper®
