When it comes to reducing the risk of heart attacks the focus of our medical society is to prescribe you a drug to reduce your cholesterol levels. In my opinion these drugs are over prescribed, but that’s for another debate. The fact is that only a very small percentage of heart attacks are a result of high cholesterol.

I still recommend that you get your cholesterol checked, but at the same time you should have your doctor test your C-reactive protein (CRP) levels. This is a major indicator if you are at risk of a heart attack. If your heart is under stress you will have more CRP released into your blood stream and raise it’s levels.

When there is plaque build up within the walls of the heart, inflammation will occur. When the build up reaches the critical level it will and open up the wall of the heart. To protect itself your body will form a clot to try to fill the hole and it’s this blood clot that can lead to a heart attack.

Krill Oil For Heart Health

There has been a significant amount of research that has shown a remarkable decrease in CRP levels in as little as a week after consuming 300 mg of Krill oil each day. Even better news is that the CRP levels continued to decrease after 30 days of consuming Krill oil.

The decrease is a result of the anti-inflammatory properties of Krill oil. The most important factor is that Krill oil is a safe, natural, and effective alternative to many of the prescribed drugs on the market which usually have some side effects along with them.

Krill Oil To Relieve Arthritic Pain

Because of the anti-inflammatory properties of Krill oil, it also makes it a great supplement to reduce arthritic pain which is caused by inflammation in the joints. The most common form of relieving arthritic pain is to take an over the counter anti-inflammatory drug. Some studies are now showing that prolonged use of these drugs may increase your risks of cardiovascular disease.

Once again, a safe and natural alternative is Krill oil. In addition to reducing arthritic pain, Krill oil also relieves stiffness and functional impairment of the joints.

I have attached one of the studies that shows the positive effects of Krill oil on CRP levels and alleviating symptoms caused by osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. You can download the pdf report below.

I personally consume Krill oil in a capsule form every morning with my breakfast. I use the EFA-Icon supplement from Prograde. You can learn more about the Krill oil supplement that I use by visiting…

Recently I interviewed Jayson Hunter, the head of research and development for a very reputable supplement company called Prograde Nutrition. Jayson is also the creator of the Carb Rotation Diet. In this 23 minute interview, Jayson explains how consuming healthy fats like Krill oil can actually prevent you from storing fat and help you burn fat.

Jayson and I also discus how there are no other health benefits to taking the majority of fat burning supplements on the market and this is what makes consuming essential fatty acids a no brainer, because in addition to the fat burning benefits, there are almost an unlimited amount of health benefits to them. I know that I have my dad consume Krill oil for heart health and joint health.

We also talk about how difficult it is to convince people to consume essential fatty acids because of the amount of calories per serving. Jayson and I share how we have been able to persuade our clients into making essential fatty acids and essential part of their nutrition plan.

Jayson also shares the best ways to incorporate healthy fats into your nutrition plan as well as why Krill oil is becoming more popular than flax seed oil.

Enjoy this 23 minute 31 second audio and share your thoughts and questions on the benefits of Krill oil and other essential fatty acids.

Have an absolutely amazing day!
