Are you looking for a natural means to reduce inflammation?
Too much saturated fat leads to inflammation and insulin resistance.
Read food labels. Look at your favorite snack foods. Consuming lots of saturated fats per day and little to no omega-3 fats can produce inflammation. You can balance the body’s inflammatory response by reducing the over-consumption of inflammatory foods, and supplementing the diet with omega-3’s.
Omega-3 fats have the opposite effect of saturated fats.
When we hear the word “fat” we think of something bad for us or bad for our body. However, Omega-3 fats from fish have an opposite effect in the body. They help to deter inflammation, not cause it. Our diet does not deliver sufficient levels of omega-3. A pure source of omega-3 fats is healthiest. The omega-3’s found in omega-3 fortified foods and cooked fish is not enough to have a significant effect on inflammation. The best way to supplement the diet with omega-3’s is to take a purified, potent supplement derived from fish oil. Most over-the-counter fish oils do not provide enough omega-3 in one daily dose to have a significant effect.
Res-Q 1250 is a highly purified, potent and effective omega-3 supplement intended to help restore the proper balance of omega-3 fats back into your diet for a more balanced inflammatory response. For significant health benefits, Res-Q 1250 provides the right levels of omega-3 fats as shown effective in clinical studies. Beneficial results can be seen in just 4-6 weeks. Supplementing your daily diet with Res-Q 1250 can make a dramatic difference in how you feel.

INFLAMMATION
Large amount of inflammation in the body is reported to make existing tumors grow. Large amounts of inflammation in the body is linked to diabetes, and increased age, illness, cardiovascular and brain health problems. The harmful role that excess inflammation plays in the body is becoming more clear as more and more clinical studies are published.
Due to this information, it appears that balancing the body’s natural inflammatory response with supplements that encourage the body to produce less inflammation rather than more inflammation would be good for our health.
Can controlling the amount of inflammation in the body be good for us?
Diet can affect the body’s inflammatory response. The types and amounts of fats consumed, can make the body very inflammatory or less inflammatory. This may be one reason why omega-3 fatty acid intake has been found in clinical studies to be so good for such a diverse groups of people with various health concerns. This also may be why omega-3 fats are so important to the balance of fats in the diet. The good fats, called omega-3 fatty acids, help balance the body’s normal inflammatory response caused by some of the foods in the diet. Res-Q 1250 contains the proper balance of omega-3 fatty acids called EPA and DHA to promote good cardiovascular health. Res-Q 1250 may be used to help supplement the diet lacking omega-3 fatty acids in sufficient quantities to achieve the proper balance of fats.

Complete Heart Health: Part I
Healthy Arteries: it is more than just cholesterol, the role of inflammation in arterial health
The Res-Q product line offers a more complete approach to total cardiovascular health. We know that cardiovascular health is about more than just cholesterol. There are other areas that should not be ignored. These other areas of cardiovascular health are gaining more attention and should be inclusive of our cholesterol lowering regimen.
By examining multiple factors for good heart health, we can offer our customers more ways to help maintain healthy arteries and a strong heart, for a more complete, total look at cardiovascular health: the big picture. Cholesterol is only one piece of the puzzle.
You may be aware of the importance of having healthy cholesterol levels. You may even be aware of the role that cholesterol plays with regard to maintaining healthy arteries, but are you aware of the role of inflammation with regard to heart health?
Although there are many topics and many ways to help maintain healthy arteries, let’s look at the topic of inflammation. In 2005, medical news reported that C-Reactive protein may be comparable to LDL cholesterol as an indicator of recurrent coronary events. One report published in the New England Journal of Medicine, suggested maintaining “CRP levels less than 2mg/L” in addition to maintaining healthy LDL cholesterol numbers. The reduced rate of arterial build up was attributed to reductions of both inflammation (crp) and cholesterol (LDL).
According to the American Heart Association, “C-reactive protein (CRP) is one of the acute phase proteins that increase during systemic inflammation. It’s been suggested that testing CRP levels in the blood may be an additional way to assess cardiovascular disease risk.”

Omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to help balance out the inflammatory response produced by the body. A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, concluded that taking enough omega-3 from fish oil, decreased production of an inflammatory protein and compound involved in the inflammatory immune response. This means that supplementing with omega-3 can help correct and balance the body’s inflammatory response helping to balance out excess inflammation.
You may already realize the role that inflammation plays in our health, such as those everyday aches and pains, but do you know that inflammation is also a villain to healthy arteries?
It seems that more is involved in maintaining healthy arteries, than just maintaining a cholesterol level that is already within normal range. As mentioned in Time Magazine, Chronic inflammation can “destabilize cholesterol deposits in the coronary arteries.” The article also pointed out that people with normal cholesterol levels were having heart attacks.
The research shows us that anyone maintaining cholesterol levels already within a normal range, can improve their cardiovascular health by adding Res-Q 1250, our pure and potent source of the omega-3 fatty acids to their cholesterol regimen, and possibly add years to their life.
To help maintain healthy arteries, research suggests that maintaining a healthy inflammation level, is just as important as maintaining a healthy cholesterol level, especially in high risk populations and for those taking statin medications.
