We are now including Omega-3 in our products as research has confirmed the health benefits. The benefits of Omega-3 were not known until the 80's. Today we're smarter. Omega-3 fatty acids are crucial for eye and brain development in children. They are a deterrent for cardiovascular heart disease. Initial research also shows that they are beneficial to adults with many other diseases such as depression, Alzheimer’s, psoriasis, cystic fibrosis, stroke, muscular dystrophy, cancer, diabetes, and obesity. A new study was just published in the Journal of the American Medical Association about its anti-aging benefits. Omega-3 fatty acids slow the aging process by slowing the rate that telomeres shorten.

Our immune system is extremely important to our health. It helps get rid of infections and helps us heal faster. For it to function properly we need a lot of nutrients and the older we get the more we need, but our body does not absorb nutrients as well as it did when we were younger; so what to do. I am not a believer in taking lots of pills. I prefer to get my nutrients from natural sources and healthy drinks in between meals can provide a big boost to your immune system.
