| Omega-3 Fish Oil; Benefits and How to Get It.
Omega-3 fatty acids are derived from food. They can’t be manufactured in the body. Fish oil contains two omega-3s called docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). Dietary sources of DHA and EPA are fatty fish, such as salmon, mackerel and trout, and shellfish, such as mussels, oysters and crabs. Some nuts, seeds and vegetable oils contain another omega-3 called alpha-linolenic acid (ALA).
The American Heart Association (AHA) recommends that, beginning at age 20, you get your cholesterol checked every five years and more frequently for men over 45 and women over 50. The AHA also recommends for those with coronary heart disease a daily intake of one gram of omega-3 fish oil preferring fish over supplements. Fish with higher omega-3 oils include: mackerel, tuna, salmon, trout, anchovy, and sardines.
Omega-3 fish oil lowers high triglycerides and helps prevent heart disease. According to www.webmd.com it may help a number of other entities from high blood pressure and stroke to arthritis and weight loss. The amount of omega-3 suggested for each of these varies.
(Did You Know? Watch for high mercury content in mackerel, shark, and swordfish and limit intake to once a week.)
Most fish oil supplements contain about 300 mg of omega-3s. A Tufts University review of the literature found that daily intake of 250 mg of omega-3s is associated with a 35% lower risk of sudden cardiac death and 17% fewer fatal coronary events for those with no known coronary disease. An average of 3.5 ounces of fish may provide 1000 mgs of omega-3s. |

| NEW RF FRACTIONAL TREATMENTS FOR SKIN REJUVENATION |
|
| We now offer Endymed’s 3Deep RF fractional treatments to improve wrinkles and tighten loose skin. It is a combination of microneedling with RF (radio frequency) which warms the skin stimulating more collagen production than just microneedling. This “state of the art machine” causes less pain than similar machines and only requires one pass saving you time. This also results in no bleeding or bruising and minimal downtime. So this can easily be done during the summer while using a sunscreen after a treatment.
The areas recommended include face, neck, chest (or decolletage), hands, stretch marks, and other areas of loose skin. Three treatments one month apart are highly recommended over an individual treatment. Maintenance treatments can commence 6-12 months later.
(Did You Know? Over 40 independent studies have been done to show the clinical improvement of RF fractional treatments.)
From now until September 1st, packages of three treatments of one area saves $300, two areas, $400, and three areas $500! One or more areas include face, neck, chest and hands. Normally three treatments of one area are $2250, now $1950, now two areas, $2900 (normally $3300), and three areas $3750 (normally $4250). For example, three treatments of the face and neck would be $2900 saving $400! |

Bobby Flay embellishes egg salad by adding crab. Also, he recommends not using too much mayo. Remember it’s egg salad not mayo salad. Another reason to mix dry ingredients separate from wet ones. |
