Mickey Schuett, founder and former president of NeuroNutrition, discusses the advantages of krill oil as a leading supplement for getting Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids.NKO (Neptune Krill Oil) was the first company to successfully extract the oil from krill. Krill is a crustacean, but it is not a bottom-feeder. It is the main food source of whales, dolphins and penguins. Since it is a cold, deep-water organism that eats algae krill oil has an advantage over regular fish oil in that it also provides a rich source of antioxidants.Krill oil gets accepted and absorbed into the blood stream more easily than other kinds of fish or flax seed oil. Benefits include helping brain and heart health, people over 40 years old, post pregnancy, PMS relief, children with attention deficit disorder (ADD) and improved cholesterol levels.Very low mercury is transmitted from Krill since they don t live long enough to get mercury build up (approximately 12 months). The most important thing about fatty acids is simple, that the body needs them.

On this week’s Healthy Diet Podcast we cover cholesterol and how it contributes to heart disease. We talk more about Dr Esselsten’s book, Prevent And Reverse Heart Disease. Show notes: February was American Heart Month. Did you wear red? The most significant factor in heart disease is your diet, period. However, the medical profession has no incentive to let people know this. Why, because they get most of their revenue from heart procedures. The national healthy plan could be very simple – Eat a plant based diet. Now if we could only get the politicians to work towards that. Heart disease in people with a cholesterol level lover than 150 is nearly non existent. Dr Esselstyn cut out all oils in his diet to get his cholesterol to go from 158 to below 150 because the evidence for health was so compelling. So why in the world does the American Heart Association still recommend a cholesterol level of 200 being okay? Cholesterol is found only animal products. Our body produces all we need and eating animal products add cholesterol to our blood and cause our body to produce even more cholesterol. A high fat meal injures the endothelium, the interior lining of our veins. Even a single high fat meal can injure the endothelium and possibly cause a heart attack. What if we ate low fat meals 365 days a year, how healthy could we be? Stay tuned for our contest where 5 of our listeners will have the chance to win Prevent And Reverse Heart Disease by Dr Esselstyn. Visit our healthy diet web site.

The Healthy Diet Podcast for this week covers what you can do to prevent heart disease. Yes, you really have control over this disease. Show notes: We were reminded of how important it is to take care of your health this week when Alan’s mom was taken to the hospital. We also share the number one secret for preventing heart disease after reading the book Prevent And Reverse Heart Disease by Dr Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr. Dr Esselstyn works and the Cleveland Clinic and became disillusioned when he and his colleagues weren’t doing anything to prevent the diseases they were operating on people for. Some of his colleagues weren’t interested in prevent heart disease. In Dr Esselstyn’s research he found that the United States was actually in the minority when it comes to heart disease. In other words, world wide heart disease is not common. People that live in countries that eat a plant based diet don’t have heart disease. The evidence for what may be causing most heart attacks has been changing. They are thought to be caused by a clot rather than blockage from cholesterol. However, they ultimately are cause by cholesterol, but in a different way. The good news is that you can do something about it by eating a plant based diet and keeping your cholesterol below 150, not 200. We reference the famous Framingham Heart Study. Getting your cholesterol below 150 will eliminate heart disease according to Dr Esselstyn’s research. We are going to give 5 of our listener’s the chance to win Prevent And Reverse Heart Disease by Dr Esselstyn.
