How Essential Fatty Acids Improve Your Brain Power and Mental Health
By Rudy Silva

What is your brain made of

Over 50% of your brain is made of good fat. Twenty percent of this good fat comes from EPA and DHA. Remember EPA and DHA comes from,

* omega-3 fatty acids

* eating fish

* borage oil

* primrose oil

* parilla oil

* NOK oil

I have covered all these oils in other articles except NKO Krill Oil. This oil is the new kid on the block. It comes from Antarctic krill, a crustacean found in the Antarctic waters. It provides EPA and DHA like borage oil does, but its chemical structure is phospholipids. Phospholipids are easier for your cells to absorb than borage oil's EPA and DHA, which is in the form of tryglycerides.

The essential fatty acids provide the chemical molecules to make Phospholipids. These phospholipids gather together to form a protective barrier around each cell in your body.

If the fatty acids are in phospholipids form, your body is able to use them quicker and more efficiently.

This is what makes NOK oil a more bio-available advanced oil than borage or primrose oil.

If you are deficient in the essential fatty acids, you will be more susceptible to these conditions:

* Alzheimer's disease

* Anxiety and body stress

* Heart disease

* Attention deficit disorder

* Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder

* Bipolar disorder

* Chronic fatigue syndrome

* Depression

* Learning disorders

* Memory impairment

* Parkinson's disease

* Schizophrenia

Making Your Brain Work Like It Should

Your brain needs a good daily supply of the essential fatty acid omega-3. It also uses omega-6 and AA (Arachidonic acid). So this means taking a good dose of NKO oil is a necessary daily routine for keeping your brain from shrinking.

Alzheimer's disease

Doctors believe that if every one lived to be over 120 years, they would come down with Alzheimer's disease. It is a disease that once your have it, all you can do, at this time, is to slow its progression using certain drugs and nutrients.

Before your brain starts to deteriorated to where it contains nodules of toxins, excess oxidation due to free radicals, and weaken and narrowing blood vessels, it might be a good idea to start feeding it the food it needs.

DHA is in order for Alzheimer's disease. When DHA is deficient in your diet, you can expect to have memory loss and become depressed as you age.

Lecithin is also in order since it helps to provide choline, a precursor to the memory neurotransmitter acetylcholine. It also provide the chemicals to produce RNA.

Heart disease is closely related to Alzheimer's because the heart must be strong enough to pump plenty of blood into the brain and the arteries must open enough to circulate enough blood through the brain and throughout your body.

Even if you don't come down with Alzheimer's or your family history doesn't support it, most of us are in line for dementia. Dementia is also attributed to deterioration of brain cells and support tissue. One of the causes of dementia is a diet that has been deficient in the essential fatty acids.

Here are my recommendation for supplementing with the essential fatty acids:

* Eat more good fish, at least once a week and occasionally twice a week

* Eat less fat and particularly saturated fat. A good number for daily fat intake is 15-20% of your overall calories.

* Take daily, flax seed oil and olive oil for the omega-3 and omega-6 oils

* Take a daily supplement of NKO or Borage oil which supplies EPA and DHA

Krill Oil Reduces (bad) LDL and Increases (good) HDL Cholesterol
By Howard Simon

Neptune Technologies announced results from a clinical trial that reports a daily dose of Neptune Krill Oil lowered bad LDL cholesterol levels by 34 percent and boosted good HDL cholesterol by 44 percent. When Neptune Krill Oil (NKO) was used in combination with low-dose statins, the effects were even more pronounced.

“Current epidemiological studies have shown a strong association between high levels of LDL and low levels of HDL and premature coronary heart disease. According to industry reports 107 million patients suffer from high LDL; however, the number of patients with low HDL exceeds 107 million,” explained Dr. Tina Sampalis, vice president of R&D and business development at Neptune Bioresources & Technology.

According to the American Heart Association, 34.2 percent of Americans (70.1 million people) suffered from some form of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in 2002. The direct costs of CVD from hospital, doctors, home care, and medication in the US is a staggering $258 billion, with a further $145 billion as indirect costs from lost productivity.

The double-blind, randomized clinical trial compared the effects of Neptune Krill Oil, fish oil, or placebo, with or without statins - a total of six experimental groups. After 90 days of usage, the researchers, at McGill University and the University of Montreal, found that Neptune Krill Oil alone (1 to 1.5 grams per day) lowered LDL-cholesterol by 34 percent, and increased HDL cholesterol levels by 43.5 percent.

Active placebo fish oil supplements produced a decrease in LDL levels of only 4.6 percent, and increases in HDL levels of 4.2 percent. Participants taking the placebo experienced increases in LDL levels of 13 percent and decreases in HDL levels of four percent.

Statins alone (10 mg) were associated with a reduction in LDL levels of 29 percent and increases in HDL levels of 13 percent, showing that low dose krill oil performed better than low doses of the most commonly used statin drugs.

Interestingly, when statins and NKO were combined the effects were even more pronounced, resulting in LDL decreases of 37 percent and HDL increases of 51 percent.

“These results justify a future multicenter/multinational pivotal study of NKO versus statins to further evaluate the effects,” said Dr. Sampalis.

The effects observed were easy to explain, said Dr. Sampalis, since krill oil contains the phospholipids DHA and EPA which are substrates for apolipoprotein A1 (Apo-A1) which is required by the body to produce HDL-cholesterol.

Neptune krill oil is derived from the plankton family of crustacean and, unlike fish oil, it is also rich in phospholipids and antioxidants.

Acne Program - Step 2 - Using Acne Face Creams
By Rudy Silva

After you have washed your face with a chemical free soap, use an applicator to dip into Scotty's face cream or you favorite face cream. Place the cream on your face and spread it all around. Massage the cream into your face gently so the skin absorbs the oils in this cream.

These oils will seal the pores and hold the natural moisture of the skin and enhance the curing effects of the cream

You can use the cream 2-3 times a day. It is best to use it after you have cleaned your face in the morning and right before you go to bed. You can also use it during noontime.

You can use Scotty's' cream under your makeup or over your makeup. It will work either way. However, it will work better on a clean face.

You will notice that when you apply the cream it will tingle in areas without sores and may sting in areas of open sores. This will pass and as it does it should reduce the itchiness of any sores.

Scotty's cream has allantoin, which will help to clear acne sores. The oils, vitamin A and E, and minerals in Scotty's will help to feed, rebuild, and rejuvenate your skin. The minerals also help to neutralize the toxic acids that have contaminated and inflamed pores on your face.

During cleansing and fasting, more acid waste may come out of your pores. This is why Scotty's cream will help you to reduce the inflammation and spread your acne.

Tree Tea Oil

To make Scotty's cream or your own cream even more powerful, you can add 5-10 drops of pure tree tea oil to a two-ounce container. You can experiment with the amount to add. You may want to add more drops to provide more tea tree oil for your face. But, do not use more than 15 drops.

Tree tea oil has been found to be effective in various skin disorders. It acts as an antiseptic, antifungal, and antibacterial. This oil helps to bring oxygen to the skin cell, which kills bacteria and fungus and helps to repair damaged skin caused by acne.

Borage Oil

There is one more thing that you can add to Scotty's face cream or your favorite acne cream that will boost its acne clearing power. This is borage oil. Borage oil contains EPA and DHA, which helps to control excessive hormones that cause the over production of sebum.

It is the adrenal glands that produce streams of androgens during puberty. These large quantities of androgens help to activate bone growth and assist in bringing forth sexual maturity.

A side effect of these androgens is the release of excess oil from the oil glands near the hair follicle. This excess gives rise to

* black heads

* white heads

* pimples

* cysts

So here's what you can do to make your face cream even more effective,

* Mix one or two capsules of Borage oil into your cream

* Do this by cutting the tip off of the Borage oil softgel and squeeze the oil into the cream

There is a new form of EPA and DHA that is available in a product called Neptune Krill Oil (NKO)

Neptune Krill Oil (NKO)

NKO is the new EPA and DHA product, which maybe better to use than Borage Oil. NKO has the omega-3, EPA and DHA in the phospholipid form, which is easier for your cells to absorb compared with Borage oil. Borage oil contains the omega-3, EPA, and DHA in triglyceride form, which is more difficult for cells to absorb.

One other good property of NKO is that is does not have to be refrigerated like Borage. It can be kept in a cool place in your cabinets. However, it does cost more than Borage oil.

Word of Caution: As with all creams and oils, if you get any rash or skin reactions when using them, discontinue their use.

Use a good face cream to help clear your acne. You can boost the power of this cream by adding tree tea oil and borage or NKO oil.

NKO Neptune Krill Oil & Fat Loss
By Thomas Lee Nelson

Is the body you seen in the mirror the body you want? I ask this question to my current & potential clients very often & the answer is always no, unless of course they've completed my fitness program. However most people not only don't start a fitness program but have a very small chance of even finishing the program they do start. On top of that most people have no idea what to eat or even how eating healthy food will benefit them.

The most common myth in losing weight is to eat very little & have very little if any fat in your diet. Starving yourself is the worst thing you can do for any fitness goal & eating often is generally the key to boosting your metabolism so it's easy to see why the majority of people fail.

Now here's the "cut the fat" portion of the myth. Being obese or over-weight generally means having excess fat in your body which for most people is very uncomfortable physically, mentally, & emotionally. Controlling your fat intake is very important, but it depends on what kind of fatty acids you are taking in & where it comes from.

There's promising research being done that shows that essential fatty acids containing DHA can actually help STOP the conversion of pre-fat cells into fat cells by causing them to die before they mature. These essential fatty acids can be found in supplements containing NKO Neptune krill oil which has a excellent concentration and high quality DHA.

Studies in South Australia have shown that combined exercise with supplements containing essential fatty acid supplements containing DHA saw greater fat loss than the test group that only exercised and did not take the supplement. So along with a well balanced diet, a challenging & fun workout program plus supplements containing NKO Neptune krill oil results can be tremendous!

Just remember, NKO Neptune krill oil which contains this high quality essential fatty acid DHA is no miracle solution. Sound nutrition and an awesome workout program are key components. The research is there however & this supplement definitely has some powerful fat loss properties.

NKO Neptune Krill Oil - DHA & EPA
By Thomas Lee Nelson

Let's face it, in today's fast paced society it's extremely hard to find high quality foods that promote our health & vibrance. Poor quality diets & processed foods create deficiencies in two very important fats. Those fats are DHA and EPA. Research has shown that consuming sufficient quantities of these fats can help prevent cancer, heart disease, depression & a whole lot more.

So what's so great about NKO Neptune Krill Oil & why not just take regular fish oil? Well general fish oil is weak in anti-oxident content & generally does not allow for efficient venerability of the DHA and EPA to your cells. Studies have shown that Neptune Krill Oil contains 300 times the antioxidant power of Vitamin A & E, plus over 47 times the antioxidant power of fish oil and lutein.

Essential fatty acids (DHA & EFA) are essential for normal health and metabolism & cannot be manufactured in the body so we are required to get them through our diet. Most individuals diets contain too much Omega 6 fats and not nearly enough Omega 3 fats. It's generally ratio of 20:1 Omega 6 to Omega 3 fats which is really astounding considering to much Omega 6 fat can promote the production of inflammation causing chemicals in the body. Omega 3's on the other hand promote inflammation fighting chemicals in the body.

Whether it's working 40-60 hours a week or taking care of your family full time, it can be difficult to balance your diet with both Omega 6 & Omega 3 fats. Simply by balancing fatty acids with high quality effective supplements life can be greatly enhanced both on the work front and/or the in the home.

Challenging constant exercise along with a balanced diet can & will greatly enhance the quality of life in the short and long term. Whether you start with nutrition, weight training, or cardio make sure you have a flexible, effective, challenging game plan & as many tools as necessary to reach & maintain your desired physical & mental wants.
