Nutrition Mission November 09 Newsletter (Amended Recipe)

Salmon is packed full of omega-3 fatty acids which are essential to your diet, meaning that it is essential that you get them in your diet as the body doesn't make them itself. Other oily fish that yield good amounts of omega-3 are mackerel, sardines and tuna. In order to receive the amazing benefits of fish oils, we need to eat fish that are low in contaminants; this can be achieved by eating wild fish and using fish oil that has guaranteed low levels of contaminants. These guarantees can only be made if the oil is tested efficiently. At Nutrition Mission, we will only recommend oils from companies that can provide us with certificates of purity.

Benefits Include: -

Less Pain and Inflammation. Omega-3 fatty acids, particularly EPA, have a very positive effect on your inflammatory response. Through several mechanisms, they regulate your body's inflammation cycle, which prevents and relieves painful conditions like arthritis, prostatitis, cystitis and anything else ending in "itis."
Cardiovascular Health. Omega-3 fatty acids have also been proven to work wonders for your heart and the miles and miles of arteries and veins that make up your cardiovascular system. They help to lower cholesterol, tryglicerides, LDLs and blood pressure, while at the same time increasing good HDL cholesterol. This adds years to your life expectancy.
Protection from Stroke and Heart Attack. When plaque builds up on arterial walls and then breaks loose, it causes what's known as a thrombosis, which is a fancy way of saying clot. If a clot gets stuck in the brain, it causes a stroke and when it plugs an artery, it causes a heart attack. Research shows omega-3 fatty acids break up clots before they can cause any damage.
Better Brain Function and Higher Intelligence. Pregnant and nursing mothers can have a great impact on the intelligence and happiness of their babies by supplementing with fish oil. For adults, omega-3 improves memory, recall, reasoning and focus. You'll swear you're getting younger and smarter.
Less Depression and Psychosis. Making you smarter is not all omega-3 does for your brain. Psychiatry department researchers at the University of Sheffield, along with many other research studies, found that omega-3 fish oil supplements "alleviate" the symptoms of depression, bipolar and psychosis (Journal of Affective Disorder Vol. 48(2-3);149-55).
Lower Incidence of Childhood Disorders. Just to show how fish oil fatty acids leave nobody out, studies show that children (and adults) with ADD and ADHD experience a greatly improved quality of life. And those with dyslexia, dyspraxia and compulsive disorders have gotten a new lease on life thanks to omega-3 oils.
Reduction of Breast, Colon and Prostate Cancer. And finally, omega-3 fish oil has been shown to help prevent three of the most common forms of cancer - breast, colon and prostate. Science tells us that omega-3s accomplish this in three ways. They stop the alteration from a normal healthy cell to a cancerous mass, they inhibit unwanted cellular growth and they cause apoptosis, or cellular death, of cancer cells.
