6 Reasons You Should be Taking Omega 3 Supplements

by | Nov 7, 2018 | Healthy Eating, Holistic Healing, Supplements

By Bruce Howe

There’s a reason- okay, there are many reasons- why omegas are the third most used supplement in the United States, and it all starts with you, and your body.

Omega supplements aren’t just for the overly health conscious, they are for everyone. In a world where none of us are easily getting the nutritional balance we need, supplements can literally be a lifesaver.

We’ve spoken about inflammation and some of the ways it could be affecting you, and this week we want to share the power of: Ωomega with you. Your body cannot manufacture its own omega-3 fatty acids. You need to learn how to incorporate them into your daily life, in order to reap the benefits.  Not sure why your body needs omega-3 fatty acids? Read on.

Here are six ways omega supplements can transform your life

Improves Fat Metabolism

Most people know that when they see salmon on a restaurant menu next to steak or casserole, for example,, the healthy option would be the salmon- but why is that? Salmon is rich in omegas, meaning it’s a powerful anti-inflammatory food choice that can aid in weight balance, among other health benefits. Countless studies indicate the powerful effects of omegas in the human body. Recently, researchers from Kyoto University in Japan discovered fish oil transforms fat-storage cells into fat-burning cells in mice. In their study, fish oil supplements stimulated receptors in the digestive tract, activated the sympathetic nervous system (responsible for fight or flight responses), and prompted storage cells to metabolize fat in mice; the ones who ate food with fish oil gained 5-10 percent less weight and 15-25 percent less fat than the control mice. The researchers believe in humans, fish oil supplements might help reduce weight gain later on in life.

Improves Moderate To Severe Acne  ~  Many people don’t realize that acne is a sign of inflammation and can be treated from the inside out with anti-inflammatories, like omega supplements. Internal and external skincare is highly popular these days as it’s becoming common knowledge that one can not effectively treat the skin solely on the dermal level.

In a 2012 study from California State Polytechnic University, Pomona evidence was found that “fish oil can improve the severity of acne. Participants supplemented their normal acne-fighting regimen and typical diets with 3 grams of fish oil per day. After 12 weeks, the acne symptoms had greatly improved for 60 percent of the volunteers.”

Boost Eye Health

There are many studies that have concluded macular degeneration and dry eye syndrome can be avoided or slowed down by high internal levels of omega-3 fatty acids. Likewise, essential fatty acids also help the proper drainage of the intraocular fluid from the eye, decreasing the risk of high eye pressure and glaucoma. The eyes, like all other body parts, naturally deteriorate over time as we age, but we now have the tools and information to slow the process down using diet and supplements.

Reduces Disease-Causing Inflammation  ~  A study from the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology found the omega-3 fatty acid DHA in fish oil enhances B cell activity (a white blood cell), believed to prevent disease by reducing inflammation.

Inflammation can seriously impact your body and its ability to function. What’s wonderful about omega-3 fatty acids is that they treat all forms of inflammation in some way, shape or form. Eating an anti-inflammatory diet and adding omega supplements is like getting on an escalator when you’ve been climbing the stairs towards a healthier life, it takes you to where you need to be faster.

Reduces the Impact of Air Pollution ~ Air pollution around the world is a rising factor impossible to ignore, and its effects on the human body are even more immediately alarming. Being linked to heart and lung disease, poor air quality can be a man-made killer that we need to fight against. The use of omegas internally to fight off damage from pollution has been studied more in recent years as we continue to search for sustainable solutions that can be implemented now (improving the air pollution crisis will take more time).

In a 2012 study, researchers gave 29 middle-aged adults three grams of fish oil or olive oil every day for four weeks. Then they exposed them to two consecutive hours of unclean air, after which their cardiac responses were measured. The participants who were given fish oil didn’t experience as negative an effect to their white blood cell activity. The fish oil protected the participants against the harmful cardiac effects associated with air pollution exposure.

Boosts Memory  ~  According to research published in the journal PLoS ONE, eighteen- to 25-year-olds who consumed fish oil pills every day for six months boosted their working memory by 23 percent. Imagine what a lifetime of taking these supplements could do for you by the time you hit eighty?

A sharper memory means a sharper mind, and a sharper mind means a more successful life.

Three Ingredients That May Save Your Life

by | Nov 7, 2018 | Herbs, Holistic Healing, Supplements

There are many ways to treat inflammation internally, and externally, but few are as effective as a changed diet and supplement regimen. Many people know this but aren’t sure where to begin. Looking through a natural food store vitamin aisle can be totally mind-boggling, leaving one with question marks floating around their mind as they proceed through the check-out lane.

At Nutragen, we believe in educating people to encourage improved health for all, and that all starts with a conversation about what we put inside our bodies.

Ingredients in our foods matter. Ingredients in our supplements really matter. And ingredients that fight inflammation matter even more.

As we learned over the last few weeks, inflammation can be one of the biggest aggressors to the human body and must be treated as quickly, and as thoroughly, as possible.

This week, we want to share three ingredients that we not only believe in, we take them ourselves (see the bottom of this post to find out how).

earn how these three ingredients can help you fight inflammation, improve your overall health, and possibly extend your lifetime.

TURMERIC

Turmeric, a member of the ginger plant family, is most commonly found in Asian and Indian foods. You’ve probably tasted it in a curry dish at some point in your life and can recall its distinct flavor. It contains a yellow-colored chemical called curcumin, which is often used to color foods and cosmetics. The ingredient itself holds very powerful anti-inflammatory properties, making it a wonderful addition to any meal or diet plan.

It is common knowledge that Turmeric is used for arthritis, heartburn, joint and stomach pain, Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, bypass surgery, hemorrhage, diarrhea, intestinal gas, stomach bloating, loss of appetite, jaundice, liver problems, Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection, stomach ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), gallbladder disorders, high cholesterol, a skin condition called lichen planus, skin inflammation from radiation treatment, and fatigue.

This powerful ingredient may also be useful for headaches, bronchitis, colds, lung infections, hay fever, fibromyalgia, leprosy, fever, menstrual problems, itchy skin, recovery after surgery, and even some forms of cancer. It can also be applied topically for inflammatory skin conditions.

Its uses are seemingly endless, so why wouldn’t you be taking it?

BOSWELLIA

Boswellia, also known as Indian frankincense, is an herbal extract taken from the Boswellia serrata tree. It’s been used as an incense for centuries, but it’s other uses are still being discovered by the masses.

Boswellia is a wonderful anti-inflammatory agent and can be an effective painkiller, while possibly preventing the loss of cartilage. Some studies have found that it may even be useful in treating certain cancers, such as leukemia and breast cancer.

Some research shows that boswellic acid can prevent the formation of leukotrienes in the body, which are molecules that have been identified as a cause of inflammation.  Studies show that boswellia could help treat the following conditions : 1) osteoarthritis, 2) rheumatoid arthritis, 3) asthma, 4) inflammatory bowel disease.

GINGER

Ginger originally comes from the warmer climate countries of Asia, like Japan and China, but can now be found being used by the masses all around the world. It’s powerful anti-inflammatory properties make it an effective add-on ingredient to any health and wellness plan. It has an easily likeable taste, as well, so it’s a great ingredient to have in the kitchen for tea, soup, etc.

Ginger contains chemicals that can reduce nausea and inflammation. Researchers believe the chemicals in the plant work primarily in the stomach and intestines, and there are certain studies that show effects in the brain and nervous system to control nausea.

Ginger is commonly used for various types of “stomach problems,” including motion sickness, morning sickness, colic, upset stomach, gas, diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), nausea, as well as loss of appetite.

You’ve probably seen ginger tea at the grocery store but picked up the classic green tea instead. Next time, think about adding ginger to your green tea to pack an extra anti-inflammatory punch. You’ll thank us later.

While each of these three ingredients is powerful on their own, you can probably imagine the strength of combining them into one.

FUN FACT: You can find all three ingredients in the InflaMedix™ inflammation capsules and cream.

We personally like to safeguard ourselves using supplements like InflaMedix™ which contains the three powerhouse anti-inflammatory ingredients: turmeric, boswellia, and ginger along with a proprietary delivery technology to ensure efficacy. Check out the product description below!

Electro Magnetic Frequency

by | Nov 4, 2018 | Holistic Healing, Uncategorized

What you need to know about 5G
Nationwide, communities are being told by wireless companies that it is necessary to build “small cell” wireless facilities in neighborhoods on streetlight and utility poles in order to offer 5G, a new technology that will connect the Internet of Things (IoT). At the local, state, and federal level, new legislation and new zoning aim to streamline the installation of these 5G “small cell” antennas in public rights-of-way.
1. 5G “small cell antennas are to be placed in neighborhoods everywhere.
• Street lights
• Trashcans
• Utility poles
• Bus stops
• Sides of buildings
2. The radiation from small cells is not small.
Wireless antennas emit microwaves — non-ionizing radiofrequency radiation — and essentially function as cell towers. Each installation can have over a thousand antennas that are transmitting simultaneously. Examples of how small cells are not small include:
• They increase electromagnetic radiation near homes.
• They have refrigerator-sized (and larger) equipment cabinets.
• Property values drop after a cell tower is built near homes.
• Taller and wider poles are needed for the antennas.
• Fixtures weigh hundreds of pounds.
3. Millions of small cells are to be built in front yards in the name of 5G.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) estimates and is supporting that millions of these wireless transmitters will be built in our rights-of-way, directly in front of our homes.
4. 5G will add an extra layer — not replace — our current wireless technology.
5G will utilize current 3G and 4G wireless frequencies already in use and also add even more radiation. Higher frequency — submillimeter and millimeter waves — will be used in 5G in order to transmit data at superfast speeds.
5. Community authority is being overruled at every level.
Communities are being stripped of their right to make decisions about this new technology. ”Streamlining” means almost automatic approval. Public notice and public hearings are being eliminated. Even if every homeowner on the block opposes the antennas on their street, the opposition will be disregarded with new regulations moving forward at the federal and state level. .
6. Cell phone companies have confirmed that 5G “small” cell towers do not need to be placed every hundred feet (despite industry statements that densely placed small cells are needed in close vicinity to homes).
Verizon’s CEO, Lowell McAdam stated on camera that 4G and 5G antennas will work from 3,000 feet away on Macro Towers. This statement proves that Verizon DOES NOT need to place 5G small cells in residential areas every 500 to 1,000 feet.
“When [Verizon] went out in these 11 [5G test] markets, we tested for well over a year, so we could see every part of foliage and every storm that went through. We have now busted the myth that [5G frequencies] have to be line-of-sight — they do not. We busted the myth that foliage will shut [5G] down . . . that does not happen. And the 200 feet from a home? We are now designing the network for over 2,000 feet from transmitter to receiver, which has a huge impact on our capital need going forward. Those myths have disappeared.”
-Lowell McAdam, CEO of Verizon
“[Verizon 5G] is really high frequency [28,000 MHz and 39,000 MHz], so everybody thinks it doesn’t go very far, but it’s a really big pipe and so that’s what allows you to gain the super fast speeds . . We’re 3,000 feet away from our radio node. the cool thing about this is that we did not move the radio node. . . here even 3,000 feet away, we’re still getting 1,000 [Megabits per second] speeds . . . So now we’ve driven about 1/3 of a mile away [1,760 feet] from the radio node. we are still getting very good speeds even though we have foliage in between [800 Megabits per second].”
-Jason L., Verizon Field Engineer
7. Scientists worldwide are calling for a halt to the 5G Roll-out.
Scientists from all over the world have issued a declaration calling for a moratorium on the increase of 5G cell antennas citing human health effects and impacts to wildlife.
“We recommend a moratorium on the roll-out of the fifth generation, 5G, for telecommunication until potential hazards for human health and the environment have been fully investigated by scientists independent from industry…RF-EMF has been proven to be harmful for humans and the environment.”
— The 5G Scientific Appeal (An Appeal signed by more than 250 scientists and doctors from 35 countries)
• Read the 2017 Scientific Appeal on 5G To the European Commission
• Read the EMF Scientist Appeal published in the International Journal of Oncology.
• Read Letters From Dozens of Scientists on Health Risks of 5G
8. Cumulative daily radiation exposure is associated with serious health effects.
“Effects include increased cancer risk, cellular stress, increase in harmful free radicals, genetic damages, structural and functional changes of the reproductive system, learning and memory deficits, neurological disorders, and negative impacts on general well-being.” – EMF Scientific Appeal
The public is unaware that peer reviewed, published science indicates that exposures to wireless radiation can increase cancer risk, alter brain

Being Judgemental

by | Nov 4, 2018 | GOD Speaks, Holistic Healing

              I was out on a Sunday afternoon with some friends at an outside bar, having conversation and drinks. A man close by started talking to me, and it was so long ago I don’t remember how the conversation was started.  But this is the thing I remember.   “You’re high maintenance” he said to me after a bit of chit chat.   “I am?”  I asked incredulously.  “Yes, I can tell because of how you are put together. You are high maintenance.”   I smiled.  “You are talking to someone who laid her own wood floors, tiled her own counter tops, who does all her own cleaning, and gardening. Yeah, I’m high maintenance lol” … He said something else about they way I was dressed, and how my shoes matched my handbag.   “Well, I am a bargain shopper. Shoes, $20. Handbag, $25. I shop at TJ Maxx!”    “Oh, so you’re ghetto!”   I looked at him and shook my head. “First I’m high maintenance, now I’m ghetto. You have no idea how to judge me, but you want to judge me.”   More friends showed up and we laughed and told jokes.  Later, this man says, “You know, I owe you an apology.”  “Why?” I asked.  “If I cared about what you thought of me, I might expect an apology.  But I don’t.  And I will never see you again anyway.”

I turned back to my friends.

The moral of the story is ~ Don’t ever let anyone blow out your candle.
