Omega-3s are polyunsaturated fatty acids that have long been linked to health benefits, especially heart health.  Omega-3 fatty acids have been scientifically proven to decrease triglyceride levels and the risks of arrhythmias, and thus the risks of sudden heart attacks.  Other benefits include slowing plaque buildup in the arteries and slightly lowering blood pressure.

Two of the most essential omega-3 fatty acids are eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).  The American Heart Association (AHA) recommends a daily intake of three grams of EPA and DPA to promote good heart health.  Both EPA and DPA support normal platelet activity, and work to maintain normal triglyceride and cholesterol levels, and normal blood flow and pressure.  Consumption of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids may also reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.

There are a number of foods that can provide you with omega-3 fatty acids; however, the best source is fatty fish, such as salmon, albacore tuna, sardines and lake trout.   The AHA recommends two servings of fatty fish per week.    Other sources of omega-3s include nuts and seeds,  oils, and spinach.  Help promote a healthy heart and get in the habit of adding omega-3-rich foods to your diet.  Join us on Facebook and Twitter to learn about more great sources of omega-3 fatty acids!

Alzheimer’s disease, the most common form of dementia, is the seventh leading cause of death in the United States.  There is not yet a cure for Alzheimer’s, nor is there an exact known cause.  What does exist, however, is continuous research on the risk factors and symptoms associated with the disease and potential ways to make life easier for Alzheimer’s patients and their caregivers.

Recently, antioxidants have been examined as a potential weapon in the fight against Alzheimer’s.  Antioxidants go to bat for your body’s cells every day and have already been considered as a means to improve skin and muscles.  In Alzheimer’s patients, antioxidants are now under review for their ability to lessen the presence of amino acids that are associated with illness.

Researchers at the Catholic University of San Antonio in Murcia, Spain recently conducted an eight-month long study on the effect of regular intake of antioxidant-rich beverages on homocysteine production levels.  Homocysteine is an amino acid that has been associated with inflammation and cardiovascular ailments, both of which are common in Alzheimer’s patients.  The study results concluded that, “patients that took [antioxidant-rich beverages] show lower increase in homocysteine concentrations (especially patients of the moderate phase Alzheimer’s Disease).” In other words, patients (especially those who had not yet reached advanced phases of the disease) did not produce as much of the sickness-causing amino acids when they regularly consumed the antioxidant-rich beverages as those who did not.

The controlled clinic trial consisted of 100 women who were randomly divided into two groups, one of which was given a polyphenol-rich antioxidant beverage and the other which was given a placebo.  The 100 women consisted of 48 patients (with varying degrees of Alzheimer’s disease) and 52 women without Alzheimer’s.  According to researchers, the results “suggest that [an] antioxidant drink diminishes cardiovascular risk associated to hyperhomocysteinemia in Alzheimer’s patients.” A previous study on the higher rates of cardiovascular disease in children with a genetic condition causing extreme elevation in homocysteine levels supports the results of the researchers.

Antioxidants have a known and established role of protecting cells; however, research continues to shed light on other potential health benefits that they may provide.

Market America’s Isotonix® complete line of vitamins and nutritional supplements consist of scientifically advanced isotonic formulas that provide the most rapid and efficient absorption of nutrients.

Isotonic nutrition is by far the fastest and most effective way to maximize the benefits of taking vitamins and nutritional supplements.

Unlike the usual daily vitamins or nutritional supplements in pill or tablet form which can take up to 4 hours to digest and absorb, thus increasing the likelihood of being unable to completely maximize absorption of nutrients, isotonic nutrition like the ones from Isotonix®, provides rapid, almost instant and maximum absorption. This enables the body to fully benefit from these nutrients and remain healthy.

Isotonix® vitamins and nutritional supplements use a scientifically advanced isotonic formula to speed nutrients to the body where they are needed most. The Isotonix® formula uses a great-tasting powder formula. When mixed with water, it minimizes the amount of digestion needed to deliver maximum benefit to the body. Because Isotonix® is in isotonic form and therefore, the same pressure as the body’s fluids, Isotonix® vitamins and nutritional supplements provide superior delivery, absorption and speeds nutrients to the body.
