Pure Fish Oils - Help to maintain a healthy heart

Medical science has confirmed that diet is a key factor in keeping fit and healthy at every lifestage. Your body needs a varied diet to ensure it gets a sufficient supply of all the different nutrients essential to healthy growth and to the maintenance of a strong and efficient immune system. Research has also proved that diet can affect the health of your heart. Studies into the eating habits of different nations have shown that a few simple adjustments can help you eat your way to heart health.

Eat More...

A diet for a healthy heart should be based on staple carbohydrates like potatoes, pasta, rice, bread and pulses. Add at least five portions of fruit or vegetables daily and two oily fish meals every week.

Eat Less...

Try to cut right down on salt in cooking and at the table and reduce your consumption of saturated fat contained in full fat butter and margarine and cheese, fatty meats and processed foods like cakes, pastries and biscuits. Study the labels on prepared foods to check the saturated fat content.

Why Fruit and Vegetables?

Fruit and vegetables, fresh or frozen, contain little fat. They also contain high levels of fibre, essential vitamins and minerals. Some of the vitamins and minerals they contain have antioxidant properties to combat the rogue molecules known as free radicals which cause cell damage if left unchecked. Antioxidants therefore protect long term good health.

Why Oily Fish?

Studies of populations which include high levels of oily fish in their diet - the Japanese and the Inuit peoples of Canada and Greenland for example - led to the discovery that oily fish like mackerel, herring, pilchards, sardines, salmon and trout are a particularly rich source of the rare eicosapentaenoic and docasahexaenoic acids (EPA and DHA) which make up the important Omega 3 essential fatty acids.

Scientific research has now accumulated sufficient evidence to support EPA's important role in maintaining healthy blood and circulation.

Government Recognition

As a result, the Government in its November 1994 COMA Report on Nutritional Aspects of Cariovascular Disease recommended that the nation's fish consumption should double to at least two fish meals a week.

Good Intentions

Unfortunately not everyone, however well intentioned, is in a position to eat as well as they would like or as well as they should.

For those who fall into this category, food supplements are available to help you keep fit, stay healthy, and enjoy life to the full.

If you have any reason to be concerned about your health, you are advised to consult your doctor.

The pulse range

Pure fish oils are extracted from the flesh, not the liver, of the fish and so do not contain vitamins A and D. Vitamin E, an antioxidant vitamin, is included in the formulation to protect the oils from oxidation.
