Be a Healthier you this Spring!

Over 26 years Cascade Gifts have been know for being a great provider in the tourist gifting market of souvenirs that will be sure to delight any gift loving person. What you may not be aware of is their exclusive line of healthy supplements of OMEGA-3. 

Cascade Gifts have been offering a wide range of supplements in the Salmon Oil supplementing for decades and are passionate on sharing the joy of living life well and to the fullest. 

This Spring we want to start the march on being healthy, living life full of purpose and enjoying little treats along the way. Most of us carry on our days knowing that there are benefits of OMEGA-3s to our livelihood but never really get around to giving our bodies this much needed pillar for its longevity. 



Now think of scenarios when you've had intense stresses in your day, pounding headaches, high blood pressure, blotchy skin, joint pains and the list is long. Did you know - with a regular intake of these Omega-3 Supplements and a healthy exercise regimen you can overcome these obstacles? Well that's a fact. Omega-3 fatty acids are essential fatty acids but unfortunately our bodies don't naturally produce them making it imperative that we find ways of nourishing our bodies of it.  

Omega-3 fatty acids can be found in fish, such as salmon, tuna, and halibut, other seafood including algae and krill, some plants, and nut oils. Also known as polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), omega-3 fatty acids play a crucial role in brain function, as well as normal growth and development. 

More recent studies have shown its popularity in reducing the risks of heart diseases among a high list of chronic illnesses that most of us are prone to after a certain age particularly if we haven't taken better care of ourselves in the younger stages. However, it really doesn't have to be that way if we make a stand to do right by our bodies today!

In recent reading I was astonished at how much these fatty acids contribute to our daily body functions and in the reduction of so many of life torments. A few that stood out for me were: -











High Cholesterol 
People who follow a Mediterranean style diet tend to have higher “good” cholesterol levels, which help promote heart health. Inuit Eskimos, who get high amounts of omega-3 fatty acids from eating fatty fish, also tend to have increased HDL or ''good'' cholesterol and decreased (fats in the blood).

Heart disease
The role of omega-3 fatty acids in cardiovascular disease is well established. One of the best ways to help prevent heart disease is to eat a diet low in saturated fat and to eat foods that are rich in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats (including omega-3 fatty acids). disease and dementia.

Cognitive decline
A number of studies show that reduced intake of omega-3 fatty acids is associated with increased risk of age related cognitive decline or dementia, including Alzheimer's disease. Scientists believe the omega-3 fatty acid DHA is protective against Alzheimer's 
Breast cancer
Although not all experts agree, women who eat foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids over many years may be less likely to develop breast cancer. More research is needed to understand the effect that omega-3 fatty acids may have on the prevention of breast cancer but its good to at-least have safer practices.

Our busy lifestyles and food tastes can sometimes pose a great barrier in what we reserve to have time for in our lives. But remember this, live well and choose to keep on living well with a by adding Omega-3, exercising and giving more time to the ones you love.
