Nakita Vassallo talks about the benefits of including the combination of fish oil and lecithin soya in your diet to protect your cardiovascular health.

Going down memory lane, some of you may recall being forced to take a gulp of “what's good for you”. In the past, the fish oil was pretty crude; nothing similar to what is being offered today in terms of quality and especially taste. Not to mention also, that back then, the benefits of the product was based on unfounded information. Today, science has shown that what was once a folk remedy is very much a reality now. The introduction of the in-depth research on fish and other omega-3 oils has generated a lot of interest regarding the health benefits they have to offer.

Studies have shown that Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA+DHA) help fight and prevent cardiovascular disease and many other chronic diseases. In addition, it increases one’s energy level and ability to concentrate, while providing a greater resistance to common illnesses such as cold and flu. Moreover, it is said to help pregnant women avoid premature births, low birth weight and other complications.

These essential fatty acids are therefore vital to one’s health. However, the body does not produce omega-3 fatty acids, thus they must be provided in our daily diet. Fish oil has to be an essential element in everyone’s nutritional regime. Unfortunately, most people start taking health precautions when it is already too late. Ideally, to prevent future ailments we should start at an early stage in life and continue for the rest of our lives.

When deciding on which product to take, remember that there is a distinction between cod liver oil and other beneficial cold water fish oil. Cod liver oil is the most commonly known; however salmon oil and clupeidae oil have been proven to contain superior benefits. Salmon and clupeidae oil is a natural food supplement that helps cardiovascular well being and lowers levels of bad cholesterol. This is due to the omega-3 fatty acids, which are an excellent source for boosting the HDL (the good cholesterol) in your blood. Omega-3 fatty acids in salmon and clupeidae oil, is a type of polyunsaturated fatty acids that is only found in food sources.

If your have difficulty in digesting the fish oil or you just cannot tolerate the taste, there’s no need to worry because now there is the perfect solution. Alta Care Laboratoires – Paris, have launched the Cardiosterol Syrup, which is easily digested and has a very pleasant taste of blueberry. Yes, you read well, blueberry! The nasty taste of fish oil is masked by sugar free blueberry juice and sugar free honey.

Another product on the market offering the above-mentioned benefits is Liposterol by Laboratoires TEV (France). Liposterol are gelules which promote a natural cholesterol treatment.

The active ingredients of Alta Care’s Cardiosterol Syrup are in their fresh form. They are therefore more effective than capsules, since the chemical constituents are not altered during processing, compression, storage and distribution. Capsules lose most of their efficacy due to the drying and compressing of the ingredients.

Every time you eat a tasty meal full of fat and cholesterol don’t forget your dose of Cardiosterol Syrup, available from all pharmacies.
