The statistics are startling. Every 20 seconds, someone in the United States suffers a heart attack. Every 33 seconds, an American dies of cardiovascular disease.If you have a family history of heart disease, you owe it to yourself, your spouse and your kids to protect yourself from what according to the American Heart Association is the number one cause of death in this country.
In addition to getting regular health screenings, you should also follow your doctor's advice: avoid tobacco, maintain a healthy weight, exercise on a regular basis and eat plenty of heart-healthy foods. These include fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low-fat dairy products and especially Omega-3 fatty acids. Found naturally in such foods as salmon, flax seeds and walnuts, a growing body of scientific research indicates that these healthy fats help prevent a wide range of cardiovascular problems including heart attack, stroke, high blood pressure, arrhythmia and atherosclerosis.
The health benefits are widely known, yet recent statistics indicate nearly 99-percent of people in the United States do not get enough Omega-3. That's because it's too hard to get all you need from food alone. Even if you ate cooked salmon every day, you'd only be getting 1.2 grams of the essential fatty acid daily. Most of the groundbreaking clinical studies have achieved their spectacular reductions in heart problems with doses more than double that - at least 2 to 4 grams per day.
You may be thinking, "How in the world can I work that much Omega-3 into my diet?" With the help of supplements, of course. But Dr. Dwight Lundell, a cardio-thoracic surgeon from Arizona who has performed more than 5,000 open heart surgeries, recommends you avoid the typical fish oil capsules on the market.
"Most of the fish oil capsules available today only contain 30 percent of the Omega-3 you need. The other 70 percent of the capsule is made up of mystery ingredients that likely include unhealthy saturated fat," says Dr. Lundell.
When people ask him which omega-3 fish oil they should take, he recommends they take at least two PharmaOmega Cardio capsules a day. The all-natural, ultra-purified supplement has been specially formulated to protect the heart. Eighty-five percent of each Cardio capsule is pure, pharmaceutical grade super high concentrate Omega-3. The capsules also contain vitamin E, gelatin, glycerin, purified water and natural mint flavor.
"I recommend this supplement because I am convinced of its quality and the cost just can't be beat," says Dr. Lundell. "You can avoid all kinds of heart related problems if you're willing to invest just $1 a day on your health."
