What can high-omega-rich foods do for you?
- Reduce inflammation throughout your body
- Keep your blood from clotting excessively
- Maintain the fluidity of your cell membranes
- lower the amount of lipids (fats such as cholesterol and triglycerides) circulating in the bloodstream
- decrease platelet aggregation, preventing excessive blood clotting
- inhibit thickening of the arteries by decreasing endothelial cells' production of a platelet-derived growth factor (the lining of the arteries is composed of endothelial cells)
- increase the activity of another chemical derived from endothelial cells (endothelium-derived nitric oxide), which causes arteries to relax and dilate
- reduce the production of messenger chemicals called cytokines, which are involved in the inflammatory response associated with atherosclerosis
- reduce the risk of becoming obese and improve the body's ability to respond to insulin by stimulating the secretion of leptin, a hormone that helps regulate food intake, body weight and metabolism, and is expressed primarily by adipocytes (fat cells)
- help prevent cancer cell growth
What conditions or symptoms indicate a need for more high-omega-rich foods?
- Depression
- Cardiovascular Disease
- Type 2 Diabetes
- Fatigue
- Dry, itchy skin
- Brittle hair and nails
- Inability to concentrate

DID YOU KNOW that several of the Isagenix products contain your essential Omega Rich vitamins? It's true! The Isalean Shake is rich in flaxseed as is the slim cake and the Isacrunch. You can eat the delicious IsaCrunch directly from the container or you can add the hulled hempseed to salads, yogurts or soups. (Our hempseed is THC-free and is a highly digestible, complete protein packed full of omega-6 and omega-3 essential fatty acids.)
Have a Heart Healthy Day!
