Fish Fatty Acids vs. AEDs

Fish Fatty Acids > Defibrillators

Those who follow my training know that while I maintain a great deal of respect for old-school principles, I generally practice new-school theories. The great thing about strength and conditioning is the current move for scientifically supported theories. This will explain why I will have the occasional article or literature review.

However, this article is one that I find interesting and does little to prove much. There are now private defibrillators for sale by prescription; I believe somewhere in the neighborhood of $3,000. Pretty funky when you consider that the top fish oil product will only put you out $25 per month.

There are many benefits when using the right fish oil product.

Decreased systemic inflammation (thus possibly warding of heart disease, asthma, arthritis, macular degeneration, and a host of other diseases or maladies).
Significant decreases in levels of body fat through increased insulin sensitivity and increased metabolism. (This increased insulin sensitivity may also prevent Type II diabetes.)
Decreased muscle soreness.
Decreased incidence of tendonitis.
The possible destruction of existing cancer cells, in addition to possibly thwarting metastasis.

I've even managed to completely remove myself from ADHD medications simply from regular use of fish oil products. The value of a proper intake of fats is highly underrated and skewed, but that is an entire blog by itself.
