Omega 3: Ease Your Symptoms Of Menopause!
March 20, 2009
Omega 3 fatty acids — are an amazing anti-aging supplement!
Studies have shown that Omega 3 fatty acid supplements, which contain eicosapentaenoic* acid (EPA) from fish oil, are effective in treating the disruptive and irritating symptoms of perimenopause and menopause that you may be experiencing. These symptoms can range from psychological distress and depression, to mood swings, anxiety attacks, and hot flashes. This supplement has also been found to reduce the risk of heart attack, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol.
Recently, a study was conducted by Dr. Michael Lucas, where 120 women, ages 40-55 were divided into two groups. The first group was instructed to take three Omega 3 capsules containing EPA, totaling one gram per day, every day for 8 weeks. The other group followed the same rules, but instead ingested placebo capsules containing sunflower oil without the EPA.
THE RESULTS: The study indicated that after the eight-week period, the condition of women who were suffering symptoms of psychological distress and mild depression improved significantly after consuming Omega 3s. Also, women with hot flashes noted that their condition improved by an average of 1.5 occurrences per day.
*Eicosapentaenoic acid is typically available in a gel capsule combined with DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), another Omega 3 fatty acid. Omega 3 fatty acid supplements are readily available in pharmacies, health food stores, grocery stores, and online.
Here at the Best Program, Dr. Fisher also recommends 3 servings of Salmon weekly, as a great source of Omega 3s. And believe it or not, Lamb is the richest meat source of Omega 3s and has the richest source of carnitine!
It’s been proven that Omega 3s and other age management supplements, coupled with Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy, can help reduce the symptoms of menopause. To watch videos on menopause relief and to take a free online test, visit: http://www.thebestprogram.net/menopause.php
