Who Needs Omega 3?

Posted inBlood Pressure, HealthNo Comments

Does everyone need an Omega 3 supplement? I will let you be the judge of that.

Here is my story—I have been health and weight conscious all my life. I had always maintained a reasonable (not perfect) weight–exercised regularly–ate healthy—never drank and never smoked. No one was more surprised that I was when I had a significant heart attack 8 years ago.

Following my hospital stay, my cardiologist put me on prescriptions that he said I would have to be on the rest of my life AND told me to always take Omega 3. In fact, my cardiologist has never had a heart problem and he takes Omega 3 regularly. He checks in every six months to be sure I am continuing to take my Omega 3.

Have You Checked Your Blood Pressure Lately?

Blood pressure is the measure of the force of blood pushing against blood vessel walls. The heart pumps blood into the arteries (blood vessels), which carry the blood throughout the body. High blood pressure, also called hypertension, is dangerous because it makes the heart work harder to pump blood out to the body and contributes to hardening of the arteries, or atherosclerosis, to stroke, kidney disease, and to the development of heart failure.

Seeing your health care professional regularly is essential. For many people, there are no signs that anything is wrong until the blood pressure levels get quite high…. and if you already know your blood pressure is high, monitoring the numbers is essential. Your personal doctor watches over you and monitors different levels—blood pressure, blood tests, xrays etc. Anything written here is not intended to replace advice or information given to you by your physician.
