We have car insurance and home insurance… I think we need heart insurance. And there's no be er place to start than by boos ng our daily intake of omega-3s. If you consider the totality of studies – more than 2,000 – that review omega- 3s for heart health, you'll find there is nothing more well-studied and that these fish-derived fats offer many benefits for a healthy heart. Let's begin with three things we can measure at a check- up. First, triglycerides. They're fats that are measured along with cholesterol. Elevated triglycerides can increase our risk of heart a ack. To promote healthy triglycerides already within normal range, we can take the beneficial omega-3 EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid). Second, HDL (high-density lipoproteins). HDL sweeps LDL out of the body. The omega-3s EPA and DHA support healthy HDL levels. Third, in 2019, a new, qualified omega-3 health claim was approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administra on). The claim is in regards to blood pressure. Omega-3s promote arterial wall elas city. Omega-3s also support healthy inflamma on balance. The heart-protec ng proper es of EPA and DHA are so profound that the AHA (American Heart Associa on) summarizes them on their website. In simple terms, what this paper says is that EPA and DHA offer strong protec on for our heart. Receiving the full heart-health benefits of the omega-3s EPA and DHA requires a higher intake than the typical person achieves. To support the target level of 8 to 12% (easily measured with an Omega-3 Index Test), most adults need to average between 1,750 and 2,500 mg of EPA and DHA daily – which needs to be consistent over a period of 16 weeks. Two fish meals per week yields about 500 mg of daily EPA and DHA. We can make up the balance with a high-quality omega-3 supplement. Carlson Cod Liver Oil has received numerous awards for its taste and quality. A single teaspoonful provides 1,100 mg of omega- 3s, including EPA and DHA, which support heart, brain, vision, and joint health.
