Read it here first. . .Dr. Hastings' updated research.
High levels of inflammation in the body make otherwise stable
cholesterol plaques in the heart or brain arteries become unstable and
rupture. This leads to blood clot formation and the result is a
heart attack or stroke. Think of a plumbing pipe in your house. Over many
years, "gunk" builds up on the sides. When pipe cleaner is poured
down the drain, it dislodges the "gunk". If this happens all at
once, the "gunk" clogs up the drain and water can't get through.
This is somewhat similar to what a heart attack or stroke is.
The cholesterol plaque that builds
up over time becomes "inflamed" and breaks off. The heart attack or stroke is actually caused
by the blood clot that forms after the plaque breaks off. This blood clot breaks off
(called an "embolus") and creates the heart attack or stroke. Omega-3 fatty
acids found in purified fish oil have been shown to significantly reduce
heart attack and stroke by actually STABILIZING the cholesterol plaque by reducing
the INFLAMMATION in the blood stream. The bottom line is the risk of heart attack and stroke is
SIGNIFICANTLY reduced. In some studies the risks have been cut by over 50%!
These benefits are ESPECIALLY increased in patients who are
currently taking fish oil AND medications to lower their
cholesterol.
Potential side effects are minimal and include gastric distress, loose stools, and
slightly increased bleeding, for example, if you were to cut your finger, you may bleed a little
longer than you normally would. Fish oil may slightly increase bleeding risk combined with
other medications including low dose aspirin and wafarin (coumadin). Buy Ultra Pure Omega-3 Now |
