Imagine going to your doctor and hearing : “You just aren’t eating enough fat. You need more”. Would you think you were dreaming?

Well, it may sound crazy and you have about as much chance hearing it from your own doctor as you do of seeing pigs fly, but it’s true!

If you want to stay healthy, live longer, and avoid diseases like depression, brain disorders, heart problems, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, even cancer you have to eat the RIGHT KIND of fat. Of course it isn’t the fat commonly found in doughnuts, french fries and fast food take-out.

Omega-3 is the kind of fat that has been shown by scientific and medical studies to:
-Counteract your risk of stroke and heart disease (so you can kick back and enjoy your relaxed retirement years)
-Slash your risk of cancer, particularly of the prostate, colon and breast
-Outfight autoimmune and inflammatory diseases like rheumatoid, lupus, M.S. and psoriasis (and the pain and activity-limiting stiffness that accompany them)
-Boost healthy insulin response and relieve neurological symptoms associated with insulin-dependent diabetes
-Block the development of depression (and catastrophic brain diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s
-Combat behavioral problems like ADHD, autism, even angry and violent.

So make sure to eat Omega-3, the right kind of fat.
