What is Sinusitis?: Natural Cures for Sinusitis
April 16, 2011 by Aneron Kepasil
Filed under Health & Fitness
Located behind the bones of the face are hollow spaces filled with air. These hollow spaces are the sinuses and they act as a passage between the nasal cavity and the nostrils. So what is sinusitis? Sinusitis is an inflammation or swelling of the sinuses. Common symptoms include pain or pressure in the face, nasal obstruction or blockage, and a thick post-nasal drip. Those suffering from sinusitis may also experience headaches, a fever, or feel fatigued.
There are also over the counter nasal sprays and saline sprays. Saline sprays are non-medicated and simply contain salt water. Using nasal sprays involve holding one nostril closed while inserting the cone applicator into the other nostril and breathing in sharply while squeezing the bottle.
Usually, Sinusitis results from an infection, be it as a common cold or that of the upper respiratory system, one that spreads to the sinuses starting from the nose and leading to the mucus passageways. Allergies to pollen, dust, smoke, and similar air pollutants can also trigger it as well. Another contributing factor is a hot indoor environment with dry-air heating or a room with excessive dryness.
Besides the tender nose, pressure in the forehead there is also the constant feeling that one’s ears are stuffed or that something is pushing in the ear canal. Sinus sufferers often hear a crackling noise in their ears that must be from the mucus or the irritation in the sinus cavities. The ears don’t usually hurt but the constant clearing and crackling noise is irritating and often leads to what could become a dangerous habit of inserting cotton swabs in the ear canal to try and clear out the obstruction.
Treating Sinusitis and treating the pain that can be a symptom of sinusitis can be two different matters. Sinus pain can be severe and in some cases even temporarily debilitating. Methods of treating this pain include over-the-counter pain relievers (especially NSAIDS, as they act as an anti inflammatory as well as a pain reliever), heat applied to the area, steam and facial massage.
Treating Sinusitis naturally may be possible with a new product called SINUVIL. SINUVIL is a natural remedy, made from a medicinal plant native to South Africa, called the Pelargonium. SINUVIL claims to have the ability to naturally drain your sinuses, relieving pressure and pain, boost your immune system, enabling you to better fight off infections in the future, prevent the growth of bacteria, fungi, and viruses in your sinus cavities, preventing infection, and soothe inflamed and swollen tissues. SINUVIL is also recommended for those with weakened immune systems, such as people suffering from a chronic disease, as well as the elderly.

Using Essential Oils for Massage

Creating your own aromatic massage blends is simple to do, and can be highly rewarding. The power of touch and scent together can be a superior combination, with significant benefits over simple massage in general. If you are interested, then you might want to look at some different blends that can be useful in a variety of different contexts (for relaxing, stimulating, uplifting, etc).
Massage has been a healing technique for practically the entire history of mankind. There are many, many schools and techniques, from deep tissue, to gentle energy work, and everything in between. The use of essential oils in these practices is becoming more popular, as more therapists understand the both energetic and biochemical activities oils can add to the practice.
One of the key reasons people choose a treatment of this nature is to relax and relieve stress. There is a range of different blends you can use for this specific purpose. Use a base oil of apricot kernel and add frankincense, lavender and ylang ylang. The most common concentrations of essential oils in these formulas is about 1 to 3% of the overall volume. You can adjust the amount of each individual essential oil so their harmonious aromas suit your tastes.
When a balance of aromatic compounds in the base oil is achieved, the relaxation results can be profound. This is useful after you’ve experienced a hard day at work, or at one of those times when your mind refuses to switch off. The olfactory system gets triggered by scents and particular combinations, where actual changes in brain activity can be measured from inhalation of the oils’ relaxing aromas.
There are ways you can do the exact opposite, and utilize other oils in order to energize the body. This can be particularly useful to make the muscles more supple and increase blood flow — which is appreciated by athletes. You can blend rosemary, lemongrass and black pepper and this gives you an intoxicating mixture of spice and herb that helps stimulate energy in the body.
You can blend this with grape seed or hazelnut as your base. Invigorating massages can take one of two forms: simply a light rub-down to bring a little blood flow to the muscles (excellent for the pre-race massage for an athlete) — or deeper tissue work for after workouts and competition. This type of massage will still encourage blood flow, but will also aid in ridding the muscles of lactic acid and other metabolic wastes.
If you are a romantic person, then you will know the power of sensual touch. You can enhance a particular mood by utilizing scents that embrace the sweet smells of flowers. A carrier oil of sweet almond works well when mixing rose and jasmine. Make this more enticing by using something interesting such as clary sage or sandalwood. These aromas can create an atmosphere that is the perfect accompaniment to an evening of romance.
Aromatic massage oils have a great variety of applications. The trick is simply finding the essential oils to add that give the desired effect. If you have any doubts then try to experiment with them. You can mix small amounts in trial and error, and do further research as to what oils will create the sensations you’re attempting to achieve. Finding a blend that works for you, your partners or your clients can be especially rewarding, and is certainly worth your creative efforts.

Treatment for Urinary Tract Infections
April 13, 2011 by Aneron Kepasil
Filed under Health & Fitness
A UTI is an infection of the urinary tract. While it is painful, it is usually not overly serious and is easily treated. The urinary tract becomes infected when bacteria is introduced into the tract. The most common cause of a urinary tract infection is from bacteria that lives in your digestive tract and is tranferred to your urethra. Once this bacteria enters the urethra, it travels upwards and can cause infection in the urinary tract or bladder. Sexual intercourse is a common cause of UTI’s because during sexual activity, bacteria is moved from the vaginal area into the urethra. Another cause of UTI’s is waiting too long to urinate. This causes your bladder to weaken, in which case it may not empty completely and some urine will be left in the bladder. This will increase your chance of a urinary tract infection.
Urinary tract infections are often treated by antibiotics (which can have side effects such as nausea, diarrhea or allergic reactions) or the home remedies listed above. Home remedies may help decrease the number of bacteria or provide UTI relief, but rarely can completely eliminate the infection itself.
There are many natural solutions you can use to try and resolve a UTI. The most popular one is cranberry juice. Cranberry juice flushes out your urinary tract without allowing the bacteria to cling to the walls of the urinary tract. You can either drink pure cranberry juice, or take cranberry tablets. If you do use the juice, make sure its it is pure cranberry juice and not cranberry juice “cocktail”.
If you are unable to visit your doctor after symptoms appear, there are several natural remedies to bring relief.
1)At the first sign of infection, mix teaspoon of baking soda into a eight-ounce glass of water. Baking soda increases the acid-base balance in your system, bringing down the acidity in your urine.
2)Stay hydrated. Though it may feel as if you need to urinate every few minutes, your body is still craving fluids. Cleansing your body with water will move along any unwanted bacteria.
3)Known for its power of fighting the common cold, Echinacea can be helpful in battling your UTI. Taking two capsules three times a day can start you on the path back to wellness.
4)Possibly the most well known natural form of relief is cranberry juice. It works by not allowing bacteria to cling to cells lining the urinary tract and offers quick relief. While tart in flavor, cranberry juice is often one of the fastest and most effective ways to eliminate an infection.
The most common solution to a urinary tract infection is to take doctor prescribed antibiotics, but there are some natural alternatives for those who do not wish to go that route. One common way to treat a bladder infection naturally is cranberry juice. Cranberry juice is high in acidity, which can help restore the natural pH balance found in the bladder and help fight off those nasty germs that caused the problem in the first place. You need to be careful though when using cranberry juice for a bladder infection because the high acidity of the juice can in some cases cause more irritation and inflammation.
If you suffer from a chronic UTI then you should consider going to a pharmacy or retail store and purchasing URIZOL. URIZOL is an over the counter medication that is used to treat this infection. The medication is an all natural remedy for the infection. It eases abdominal pressure, stops burning during urination, and reduces the urge to constantly have to urinate. URIZOL works as a type of diuretic due to the fact that it contains asparagus. Asparagus works to clean out the urinary system so that patients do not feel such a strong urge to urinate. It also contains cranberry which contains antioxidants that work to cleanse the body. The mediation also contains Echinacea, Buchu, Juniper, and Marshmallow mucilage. These ingredients work to reduce urinary irritation, fight infection, and cleanse the urinary tract system. With about a weeks worth of usage, the patient can reduce the symptoms of chronic UTI.

Chiropractic Care to Stop Your Back Pain
April 13, 2011 by Nickolas Temkin
Filed under Health & Fitness
You may still find many myths and misconceptions regarding chiropractic care, even though huge numbers of people worldwide are actually given a brand new lease on life because of these doctors. Essentially the most common myths is that chiropractors aren’t real doctors, so it may come as a surprise to some that chiropractors truly are real doctors. The truth is, a chiropractic doctor spends more time in the classroom than a regular doctor.
One more misconception is always that chiropractic treatment solutions are extremely painful, and yet this couldn’t be any more from the truth. Chiropractic care is quite gentle, along with is practically 100% free from risk, especially when compared with surgery. A lot of people also often believe that chiropractors are only experienced to be effective on one’s back. While they can simply treat back pain, they are able to also treat all the other areas of the body within their field of experience.
Chiropractors and Back Pain
Back pain may be a result of many things, but in the vast majority of cases, it’s triggered by a misaligned spine. In either case, if you decide to go to a chiropractor Sydney, you’d probably first undergo a comprehensive examination. This will for instance involve you submitting a questionnaire created to give your physician a total view of your physical health, and if there may be an understandable reason for your back pain. A chiropractor Sydney would then provide you with a physical examination, and based on his or her finding, you might be necessary to select X-rays or a scan.
At this stage, the chiropractic doctor will make a decision regardless of whether your condition may be treatable by means of chiropractic correction, and if it can be, she or he will make several unique treatments depending on your own personal particular situation. Ultimately, any type of treatment you have is determined by your personal decision. In other words, a chiropractor Sydney will still only offer advice at this stage.
But if your back pain is severe, your chiropractor may begin treatment immediately, even though in most cases chiropractors would rather allow their patients some time to consider their possible choices.
You need to bear in mind that chiropractic care will depend on the thought of the body becoming in a position to heal itself, therefore, a chiropractic doctor merely aims to help one’s body strategy for musculoskeletal manipulations, also known as corrections. Even though a back pain affected person may experience immediate relief, a chiropractor Sydney will generally advise a number of consultations, as well as periodical “maintenance” sessions to be able to take care of the corrections which has been made. Quite often patients predicted treatment being completed in just one session, but you have to consider the spine is a intricate area of the body, and for that reason, the doctor needs to proceed with caution.
Chiropractic care is never painful; whatever you could have heard somewhere else. Finally, a chiropractor Sydney won’t ever move forward with any plan for treatment before he or she has explained the complete process. They are going to also visit great lengths to guarantee all your questions and concerns are addressed in a straightforward, easy to understand manner.
For natural and safe pain relief in Sydney, go to Chiropractor Sydney. We provide specialist treatment for back, neck, leg, shoulder and wrist pain. We also offer advanced treatments to eliminate headaches. To learn more please click the following link : Chiropractic Sydney
Learn more about Occult Activities of the Jinn
April 12, 2011 by Adam Asar
Filed under Health & Fitness
Through their powers of flying and invisibility, the Jinn are the chief component in occult activities. Voodoo, Black magic, Poltergeists, Witchcraft and Mediums can all be explained through the world of the Jinn. Likewise, so can the illusions and feats of magicians. Because the Jinn can traverse huge distances over a matter of seconds, their value to magicians is great. In return for helping them in their magic, the Jinns often ask the magicians to worship them and Satan. Thus the magicians take the Jinn and Satan as lords besides God. In our day, some of the feats performed by magicians and entertainers are without doubt from the assistance of the Jinn. Making the Statue of Liberty disappear, flying across the Grand Canyon and retrieving a ship from the Bermuda Triangle, have all been done by the Jewish magician David Copperfield. There is NO way that a man could do such things without the assistance of the Jinn. It would not be surprising therefore, if David Copperfield had sold his soul to Satan himself.may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him
One of the most frequent activities associated with the Jinn, is fortune telling. Before the advent of the Prophet Muhammad, fortune-tellers and soothsayers were wide spread. These people would use their associates from the Jinn to find out about the future. The Jinns would go to the lowest heaven and listen to the Angels conversing amongst themselves about events of the Future which they heard from God. The Jinns would then inform the fortune-tellers. This is why before the time of the Prophet many fortune-tellers were very accurate in their predictions. However, upon the Prophet’s arrival the heavens were guarded intensely by the Angels, and any Jinn who tried to listen was attacked by meteors (shooting stars):
“And We have guarded it (the heavens) from every accursed devil, except one who is able to snatch a hearing and he is pursued by a brightly burning flame.” (Quran 15:17-18)
The Prophet also said: “They (the Jinn) would pass the information back down until it reaches the lips of a magician or forrtune-teller Sometimes a meteor would overtake them before they could pass it on. If they passed it on before being struck, they would add to it a hundred lies” (Saheeh Al-Bukhari). Thus, it is clear from this as to how fortune-tellers get predictions of the future sometimes right. It is also evident as to why they get so many wrong. Men like Nostradamus are an example, as some of his predictions of the future were correct whilst many were completely wrong. Unfortunately, the amount of fortune telling which occurs amongst the Muslims is also increasing. By visiting Muslim lands such as Morocco, one is able to see as to how much inter Jinn-fortune-teller activity there really is. If you look up at the sky on a clear night in Morocco, you will see the heavens ablaze with shooting stars! A clear display of the devils being chased away from the heavens.
Fortune-tellers also operate through the Qareen. The Qareen is the Jinn companion which is assigned to every human being. It is this Jinn which whispers to our base desires and constantly tries to divert us from righteousness. The Prophet said: “Every one of you has been assigned a companion from the Jinn. The companions asked: Even you O’ Messenger of God? And the Prophet replied: Even me, except that God has helped me against him and he has become a Muslim. Now he only tells me to do good” (Saheeh Muslim). Because the Qareen is with a person all his life, it knows all that has happened to the person from the cradle to the grave. By making contact with the Qareen, the fortune-teller is thus able to make out that it is he who knows about the person. He looks in his crystal ball or the palm of a person and proceeds to amaze him with knowledge which no one else knows. The severity of going to a fortune-teller is such that the Prophet said: “The prayer of one who approaches a fortune-teller and asks him about anything, will not be accepted for forty days or nights” (Saheeh Muslim) and: “Whosoever approaches a fortune-teller and believes in what he says, has disbelieved in what was revealed to Muhammed.”
The effects of the Jinn are not just limited to fortune-tellers. Other activities such as oujia boards and seances, which are used to contact the dead, are manipulated by the Jinn. ‘Are you there Charlie? Speak to us Charlie!!’ are the sort of words spoken by anxious relatives (names are obviously different!) seeking to make contact with their loved ones. And it is when the Jinn starts to talk and communicate as ‘Charlie’, that the people are truly fooled.
One of the biggest manipulations of the Jinn is through visions. Through these visions the Jinns are more likely to lead people away from the worship of God then any other way. When a person sees a vision in front of his eyes it is something which is very hard to explain away. Only by having knowledge of the world of the Jinn and conviction in God, can a person fight such a trial. The countless numbers of visions of Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary over the centuries has been a popular choice for the devils. It almost seems as if leading Christians astray is the most easiest trick for the Jinns! Not only are Christians fooled by these visions, but often the Jinns possess and begin to talk from their voices. To the Christians this is known as the tongues of the Angels and thus a proof for their faith. However, the amount of unintelligible nonsense and rubbish which is heard is a clear proof that this is in fact the tongues of the devils! For other people, visions of their parents or relatives are commonplace. By taking on the form of peoples parents, the Jinns can convince people that the souls of dead people still mix with the people of the earth. This is why so many people believe in ghosts.
The onslaught of satanic visions has also hit the Muslims. Many Muslims claim to have seen visions of the Prophet Muhammed and even God! By doing this, Satan is able to lead astray the weak Muslims. Through such visions, Muslims are often told that the commands of Islam are not applicable to them. The Jinns tell them that Prayer, Fasting, Hajj etc. are not obligatory for them. It is a great deception and unfortunately one which has been very effective. The extent of satanic visions still continues to this day. The recent death of Diana Princess of Wales sparked off great love and adoration for this woman. In fact the grief of the British people was such, that it was as if Diana was something divine. No sooner had the mourning of Diana reached its peak, that visions of her were already being seen at Hampton Court Palace! If these visions did occur, the desire of Satan and his army of Jinn to capitalise on this event, was evident. Such visions are clear attempts by Satan to lead mankind away from the path of God. Protection from the Jinn
Because the Jinn can see us while we cannot see them, the Prophet Muhammad taught us many ways to protect ourselves from their harm, such as seeking refuge in Allah (God) from the accursed Satan, reciting chapters 113 and 114 of the Holy Quran, and reciting the words taught by God in the Quran: “Say: ‘My Lord! I seek refuge with You from the whisperings (suggestions) of Satan (devils). And I seek refuge with You, my Lord, lest they may attend (or come near) me.’” (Quran 23:97-98)
Saying Bismillah (in the Name of Allah (God)) before entering one’s home, before eating or drinking, and before having intercourse will also keep Satan from entering the house or partaking with a person in his food, drink and sexual activity. Similarly, mentioning the name of Allah before entering the toilet or taking off one’s clothes will prevent the Jinn from seeing a person’s private parts or harming him, as the Prophet said. Strength of faith and religion in general will also prevent the Jinn from harming a person.
Reciting Al-Kursi verse in Arabic (Quran 2:255) provides also a strong protection against the Jinn, as we learned from the story of Abu Hurairah (one of Muhammad’s companions) with a devil.[1]
Also the Prophet Muhammad said: “Do not make your houses like graves, for Satan runs away from a house in which al-Baqarah chapter [chapter 2] is recited.”(Narrated by Saheeh Muslim)
These Arabic verses and prophetic sayings were some examples of how a Muslim would get protection from the Jinn. Islam teaches us how to deal with all of God’s creation – and not just the Jinn. A true Muslim should not fear Satan or the Jinn, because Islam taught us about them and how to get protection from their harm.
The world of the Jinn is one which is both sinister and intriguing. By knowing of this world we can explain many of the mysteries and issues which bother us. By doing this we can avoid the extremes which the people have gone to; nothing being more extreme then worshipping others besides God. By learning the monotheism of God, we defend ourselves from these hidden allies of Satan:
“Indeed he (Satan) and his tribe watch you from a position where you cannot see them.” (Quran 7:27)
Footnotes:
[1] Abu Hurairah (a companion of Muhammad) said: “The Prophet Muhammad put me in charge of guarding compulsory charity collected in the month of Ramadan. Somebody came and began to take away some food-stuff from it. I caught him and said, ‘I must take you to the Prophet of God.’ He replied, ‘I am a needy man with a large family, and so I have a pressing need.’ So I let him go. When I saw the Prophet next morning, he asked me, ‘O Abu Hurairah! What did your captive do last night?’ I said, ‘O Prophet of God! He complained of a pressing need and a big family. I felt pity for him and I let him go.’ The prophet said, ‘He told you a lie and he will return.’ I was sure according to the saying of the Prophet that he would return. I waited for him. He sneaked up again and began to steal food-stuff from the charity. I caught him and said, ‘I must take you to the Prophet.’ He replied, ‘Let go of me, I am a needy man. I have to bear the expenses of a big family. I will not come back.’ So I took pity on him and let him go. I went at dawn to the Prophet who asked me, ‘O Abu Hurairah! What did your captive do last night?’ I replied, ‘O Prophet of God! He complained of a pressing need and the burden of a big family. I took pity on him and so I let him go.’ The Prophet replied, ‘He told you a lie and he will return.’ (That man) came again to steal the food-stuff. I arrested him and said, ‘I must take you to the Prophet of God, and this is the last of three times. You promised that you would not come again but you did.’ He replied, ‘Let go of me, and I shall teach you some words with which God may benefit you.’ I asked, ‘what are those words?’ He replied, ‘When you go to bed, recite Al-Kursi verse (Quran 2:255), for there will be a guardian appointed over you from God, and no devil will be able to approach you till morning.’ So I let him go. Next morning the Prophet of God asked me, ‘What did your prisoner do last night.’ I answered, ‘He promised to teach me some words which he claimed will benefit me before God. So I let him go.’ The Prophet asked, ‘What are those words that he taught you?’ I said, ‘He told me: When you go to bed, recite Al-Kursi verse from the beginning to the end and that by reciting it, there will be a guardian appointed over you from God who will protect you during the night, and no devil will be able to come near you until morning.’ The Prophet said, ‘Verily, he has told you the truth though he is a liar. O Abu Hurairah! Do you know with whom you were speaking for the last three nights?’ I said, ‘No.’ The prophet replied, ‘That was a devil.’” (Narrated in Saheeh Al-Bukhari)

Treating Acne Scars
January 10, 2011 by Owen Jones
Filed under Diets
Acne scars are an awful reminder of the having suffered pimples or even acne before. They are unbearable because of their seeming permanence and their non-complimentary appearance. Normally speaking, acne scars are rather difficult to eradicate, but tissue regeneration is not unusual nowadays with all the amazing technological advancements.
Generally speaking, when referring to acne scars, we mean the healed lesions caused by an acne breakout. While most scarring is temporary and will probably disappear on its own over time, scarring from the more severe forms of acne can be permanent.
Acne scars can be prevented if the patient visits a doctor when it is in the incipient stage, especially if nodules or cysts accompany the red pustules on the skin’s surface. If the bouts of acne have marked your skin, you will have to approach the issue from a different perspective, which usually means surgery.
Laser resurfacing is one possibility of removing the damaged skin areas and stimulating the natural regeneration of the tissue beneath. This operation only requires local anaesthesia and can last between a few minutes and an hour depending on the extent of the problem.
Fractional laser therapy is one of the most recent methods of eliminating acne scars. It involves surgical intervention at deep skin layers. The therapy is better than both dermabrasion and laser resurfacing in terms of quality and involves a very reduced healing period. Nevertheless, fractional laser therapy is within the reach of only those few fortunate people, who can afford it, since it is the most expensive acne treatment available so far.
Sometimes, additional sessions are necessary to improve the condition of the superficial layers of skin, before they can tackle the deep level treatment of the acne scar. The doctor may inject collagen into the scarring in order to raise the normal skin level or she/he may suggest micro-dermabrasion for the very same purpose. Trying to perform chemical peels for acne treatment at home could be a bad idea given the risk of aggravating the condition by irritating the scars even further.
As for the forms of acne scars, they can be grouped by the way they look. Scarring can result because of an increase of tissue or due to a loss of tissue They both have an adverse impact on the way the face looks. Specialists’ evaluation of the nature of the scars is a very important factor in deciding on the adoption of one type of treatment or another.

Uncover The Long-Term Side Effects Of Sleeplessness
January 10, 2011 by Raphael Freeman
Filed under Fitness
Insomnia is an increasingly frequent disorder. Both the young and the old are known to be subject to it. Mild insomnia can be simply overcome with easy home-made remedies. But if one suffers from prolonged insomnia, especially in the long run, are there any side effects?
In one or two contemporary case studies, it is significant to notice that as many as 200,000 car accidents in America and 1,500 deaths stem from sleepiness or drowsiness. Sleepy driving is as perilous as drunk driving. One study strongly suggested it was habitual sleepiness , however, and not just being knackered at the time of an accident that places people at higher risk.
In terms of standard of living, surveys in 2001 and 2002 reported that people with protracted insomnia deemed their quality of life is as poor as people with significant prolonged conditions such as heart illnesses. Besides daytime sleepiness, insomniacs complained of more attention and memory issues. They are more short-tempered, make more mistakes at work and have poor relationship with the people around them.
Insomnia and sleep disorder will worsen human behaviours in the following tactics :
1. Sleep deprivation can reduce the facility to concentrate.
2. Missing as many as 2 to 3 hours can significantly harm work performance.
3. The effects of shortage of sleep on learning ability are unclear. Some studies have reported issues of memorization although there isn’t any difference of test scores between people with brief sleep loss and people who have sufficient sleep.
4. Lengthened insomnia could cause depression and emotional Problems. In a number of cases, even psychiatric afflictions.
There is no doubt that insomnia can cause many damages to the body. Lack of sleep may happen to any one of us and the effect is usually exhaustion. However, if insomnia gets beyond control, then this can end up in heavy health implications.

DHA Algae Supplements–A New Method to Eat Your Veggies
DHA supplements are something plenty of health conscious folks are taking. DHA, called docosahexaenoic acid, is among the most all important omega-3 fatty acids. You must have omega-3′s in what you eat for good health. Unfortunately, you can’t make omega-3 essential efas in your body from other chemicals. You must eat omega-3′s. Cold water fish and free-range fowl and other animals are a few good sources of DHA and of omega-3′s in general. But there’s a problem with eating all that fish and free-range game. In as much as the fish is concerned, there’s the condition with mercury. And free-range fowl and other animal proteins can very expensive. Also, there’s the problem of being a vegetarian. It would be great if you could possibly get to the source, if you could just eat whatever the fish eat to acquire your efas that way? Well, now there is.
You see our biggest source of omega-3 fatty acids is big, cold-water fish like tuna. The tuna get the omega-3′s from smaller fish they eat. Eventually, farther down the food chain, the original way to obtain omega-3 fatty acids is algae that grows in the sea. If you could just acquire the essential fatty acids directly from the algae, you could potentially skip the fish part. That works well for vegetarians. One more reason why this might be a really great idea is the big ocean fish often times have mercury and other toxins built up in their bodies.
There’s one special crowd that this all affects over others. That’s pregnant women. You see, DHA is recommended for brain health in fetuses and also in young kids. But women who are pregnant are not recommended to eat loads of seafood, or even to take omega-3 fatty acid supplements, because of the problem with toxins.
