Omega 3 and Alzheimers

In the News

Omega 3 and Alzheimers

A diet that is balanced and full of antioxidants is the best way to boost the immune system which in turn helps to ward off Alzheimers and cleanse potentially harmful plaques that could be building up in your brain.

Essential Fatty Acids are the number one immune system builder and Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids are necessary to promote optimal health. A fish oil supplement is the best source of fatty acids since most modern-day diets don't normally contain enough fish to provide these nutrients.

I give my 8yr old twins 1 capsule of MorEHA Junior capsules twice a day, it doesn't taste at all fishy and because it's a softgel capsule it goes down rather easier than the normal tablets - don't you just hate it when tablets start disolving in your mouth before you've swallowed them?

Omega 3 for Schoolchildren

Omega 3 Uses

According to the BBC Radio 2 program yesterday the government is thinking about proposing that schools administer fish oil supplements to all pupils. Now whilst the trials that have been done so far on Omega 3 have proved really positive with aiding children's concentration and an apparent increase in reading age and ability, is it really down to the government to decide whether children get a supplement or not? Surely it is the parents duty and choice to decide for themselves what they want to give their children?

However, if you are considering getting a supplement to give your child or perhaps to take yourself like I do if you click on the link above this post it will take you to a good nutrition page where there are 2 links for Omega 3 supplements, one for the UK and one for the USA. Both these companies sell a pharmaceutical grade fish oil. You have to be careful when buying fish oil, just because the label says 1000mg fish oil does not mean that it's 1000g Omega 3 fatty acids. Check for a high concentration of fish oils. The cheapest doesn't necessarily mean the best, all that will happen is you have to take more of the product and therefore buy more of the product in the first place. The company I recommend in the UK - Health and Essential Ltd has also been featured on "This Morning" and in "The Times".
