I was invited to the Blue Water Day Spa event yesterday. I got this PR from them and this is something that y'all should know. This is kinda techie (in a medical perspective) but you'll understand the benefit of the new Cenovis Fish Oil to your heart. I will post my Blue Water Day Spa Foot Massage experience soon so stay tuned. In the meanwhile, enjoy reading the article below.

Today’s fast paced living exacts a heavy toll on the body. As we strive to keep up with life’s daily grind, we often do not have enough time to prepare healthy meals, which consequently causes our health to suffer.

To help stave off the effects of today’s frenetic living, we have learned to unlock the benefits offered by yoga, enjoy the soothing goodness of a relaxing massage or the revitalizing advantages of visiting a spa to make us feel and look good. Another beneficial option that is worth considering is taking fish oil, which has been proven to be effective in improving one’s overall health.

Fish oil helps improve blood flow to the heart (maintaining normal heart rhythm and slightly improving blood pressure), the joints (helping address the pain of arthritis), and the brain (maintaining memory function). Fish oil also aids in lowering blood cholesterol so the risk for a heart attack or stroke can be lowered.

Omega-3 DHA and EPA are essential fatty acids that need to be derived from one’s diet because the body cannot produce this on its own. DHA and EPA are essential components of cell membranes, which absorb essential nutrients and expel waste products. Without Omega-3, the cells cannot function at their best and this may lead to certain problems.

The combination of EPA and DHA help promote heart health by specifically keeping blood flowing, lowering the triglyceride level and slowing down the progression of fatty deposits in the blood levels. In fact, American Heart Association recommends a combined daily intake of Omega-3 DHA and EPA ranging from 500-1800 mg. Experts also suggest fish oil to be taken with food and for dosage to be gradually increased. (Source: http://www.americanheart.org)

EPA or elcosapentaenoic acid is a kind of Omega-3 fatty acid which helps decrease inflammation and pain in patients with arthritis, because of its potent anti-inflammatory properties. DHA or docosahexaenoic acid is another Omega-3 fatty acid that is found heavily in brain tissue. It maintains healthy brain function, help in brain development and improve memory in both children and adults.

Aside from ensuring heart, brain and joint health, fish oil has been proven to benefit the skin. Many skin experts are now prescribing a dose of fish oil for skin health each day, as the addition of fish oil to balanced diet can improve the appearance of skin, thanks to the Omega 3s found in fish oil.

The skin beauty benefits include balanced oil production, reduced acne, wrinkle prevention, greater resistance to sun damage, proper skin hydration, and stimulated collagen and elastin production, all of which provide a younger-looking and healthy appearance. Fish oil may also treat certain skin issues, such as eczema and psoriasis. (Source: http://vitamins-minerals.suite.101.com/article.cfm/the-health-and-beauty-benefits-of-fish-oil)

Moreover, fish oil offers anti-cancer benefits. Severall test tube (in vitro) and animal experiments done by Sweden’s Karolinska Institute have clearly shown that the long-chain Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) elcosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), the main components of fish oil, help restrict the promotion and progression of cancer. Their beneficial effect is particularly pronounced in hormone-dependent cancers such as breast and prostate cancer. (Source: http://www.oilofpisces.com/cancer.html)

Fortunately, the benefits of fish oil are easily made available with Cenovis Fish Oil, an all-natural fish oil supplement that is the leading dietary supplement brand in Australia. Manufactured by Sanofi-Aventis, each 1000 mg soft gel capsule contains Omega-3 essential fatty acids specifically, EPA and DHA that help keep the heart and functioning at its best level. Best of all, each soft gel capsule only costs less than P10, is odourless and has no fish-like after taste.

Moreover, by consuming Cenovis Fish Oil you help not just your health but also the environment. That’s because Cenovis Fish Oil comes from Peruvian waters, one of the world’s cleanest seas. Unlike other fish oil that come from shark, seals, cod and other big fish, Cenovis Fish Oil comes in three kinds of small fish: anchovies, mackerel and sardines. These are small deep sea fish that reproduce easily, thus, no worries of extinction.

Additionally, they have a shorter lifespan making them less exposed to pollutants and contamination in the seas. They are also fishes that are caught wild in open waters which feed on micro algae, the original source of their Omega-3 DHA and EPA essential fatty acids that farm raised fishes lack in their diet making them unsuitable candidates for fish oil extraction. Moreover, the fish oil extraction of Cenovis is done in a highly-advanced and sanitary process in Norway and each soft gel capsule is individually packed for freshness.
