Omega-3 News: Omega-3 Reduces Blood Pressure

Intake of omega-3 improved both weight loss and blood pressure. The new study just published in the Journal of Nutrition, reinforces once again, the amazing cardiovascular health potential of the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA. In fact, in this particular study, those obtaining a higher daily intake level of omega-3 fatty acids had better results with blood pressure than those obtaining their omega-3 fatty acids from the cod fish, which provides a lot less omega-3 per 150 grams. Although many studies have linked omega-3 with blood pressure, this population group was on an energy-restricted diet. Reductions occurred in both systolic and diastolic pressure. In other words, improvements were seen in both the top and bottom number. Since there can be many causes of high blood pressure, it is still important to continue to work with your doctor on a treatment plan.
Omega-3 supplements are now recommended by many doctors to improve heart and artery health. Made from omega-3 rich fish from the sardine and herring family, Res-Q 1250 is a potent, pure, and natural omega-3 dietary supplement that provides the proper balance of omega-3 fatty acids for cardiovascular health.
