Omega-3 Level Is the Best Predictor of Mortality
Highlights:
-Omega-3 fats have once again been validated for their usefulness in predicting your risk for cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality
-Scientists suggest your omega-3 blood level actually is a better predictor of mortality than serum cholesterol
-Omega-6 fats also have been linked to mortality, giving me another opportunity to remind you of the importance of balancing your intake of these two essential fatty acids
-Nontoxic, wild fatty fish or a high-quality supplement are your best options for omega-3s; omega-6s are best obtained from eating nuts and seeds, not vegetable oils
-I highly recommend you take the omega-3 index blood test to accurately determine and begin to track your omega-3 percentage; GrassrootsHealth offers a convenient, cost-effective test to measure both your vitamin D and omega-3 levels
