What’s the normal dose of EPA or DHA? That’s a question that has been difficult to answer, but cardiology researchers are trying to shed some light on the subject, because they are now sure that we can reduce our risk of primary and secondary heart disease, by increasing our intake of those specific omega-3 fatty acids.
Over the years, there have been dozens of studies concerning the benefit of omega-3s and fish oil, specifically, for heart health. Researchers have been cautious about making broad statements. No one wants the public to think that they can eat whatever they want; fail to get enough exercise and then take a fish oil supplement to make everything all better. It doesn’t work that way.
What people can do is take a break from work or television time and go for a walk. They can eat more fruits, vegetables and whole grains. They can choose fish and lean poultry, instead of beef and pork.
If they make those kinds of efforts and they take an adequate or normal dose of EPA or DHA fish oil every day, then they should reduce their risks of heart attack, heart failure and atherosclerosis. They should have a lower risk of circulatory problems and type II diabetes, if they also make an effort to avoid junk food, which is devoid of nutrients and full of calories.
Drinking alcohol in moderation (no more than one or two drinks per day) is fine. There may be particular health benefits related to the daily consumption of a glass of red wine, for the heart, the prostate and the prevention of various age-related diseases.
More and more, researchers are saying that eating simple carbohydrates is not okay, in even moderate amounts, regardless of whether or not a person takes the normal dose of EPA or DHA. Simple carbs, which include breads, pastries, potatoes and polished grains like white rice, cause a spike in blood sugar and insulin levels, which sets of a chain reaction that ends with the production of Advance Glycation End-products or AGEs.
AGEs are dangerous to the brain and all of the cells of the body. They are a major cause of cellular aging and despite all of the good things that a nutritional supplement like fish oil can do for you; it does not interfere with the production of AGEs. You must cut the supply line by avoiding the simple carbs.
A normal dose of EPA or DHA should reduce inflammation in your body and inflammation is another major cause of cellular aging. But, what is the correct dosage, anyway.
According to cardiologists, a person with no heart disease should have a daily goal of 500mg per day. A person with heart disease or at risk for developing it should strive for 800-1000mg per day.

The Jen Fe Fat Loss Patch is a product being sold by the MLM Company Nexagen USA. Right now about 67% of americans are overweight. This includes me. Basically if you aren’t working out at the gym regularly or on a low-carb diet or just on the Standard American Diet (SAD Diet), then you will more than likely be over weight.
It would be nice to think that in this modern world you could eat what you want, drink what you want and just go about your day and everything will be just fine. But unfortunately in these times that’s not the case. Most of the foods you in a grocery store, and especially foods you eat at Fast Food Restaurants are loaded with sodium and carbs. And most people can’t discipline themselves enough to eat low carb foods at home which would help big time with weight loss.
So the Jen Fe Fat Loss Patch came out as a solution for the rest of us. There are a plethora of products out there that are designed to help you lose weight, and almost none of them even hold up to FDA standards much less work. This weight loss patch had to go placebo controlled, double-blind clinical trial before it was publicly released so the product would be able to perform to its advertising claims.
The Jen Fe Fat Loss Patch isn’t a magic solution for weight loss. In fact, it’s just one aspect of it. You still should be on a low-carb diet if you are overweight, and you should still be in the gym working out at least 3-4 days per week doing at a minimum circuit weight training with free weights or nautilus equipment, as well as cardiovascular workouts such as the cross trainer or exercise bicycles. Use this patch only for that extra push.
Some of the benefits of this patch is that it is 100% natural, so you won’t be taking anything artificial into your system. There is also no ephedra added. The Jen Fe Fat Loss Patch has been research tested and proven to actually perform on subjects before it was released. This patch can increase your bodies metabolism as well as lean muscle mass while simultaneously burning fat. Not only will this product work for weight loss but it will also help you maintain your current weight or goal weight once you reach it.
The downside of using the Jen Fe Fat Loss Patch is that it can be a problem to put this patch on certain areas of your body if you have sensitive skin or areas of your body that don’t respond well to this adhesive. Seeing results from this Weight Loss Patch can take 90 days or longer. This is not an overnight deal, it’s a real long-term solution for losing weight and is not a magic patch. You can start on this plan for as little as $199.00 dollars depending on what package you get.

Let’s get straight down to it: losing fat isn’t easy. You’ve spent hours in the gym slaving away on the treadmill. Your diet consists of bird seed and a few sprigs of alfalfa. You’ve bought every diet book and exercise gimmick on the market, yet nothing seems to work. Don’t despair! There is hope! Arm yourself with these science-based fat loss strategies and keep it off for life!
First off, throw away your bathroom scale. It’s not your friend. Don’t focus on losing weight. Focus on losing body fat. Your goal should be to maintain or build muscle tissue and burn away stored fat. Muscle is very metabolically active and pays a higher caloric “rent” in the body just to sustain itself. Fat is nothing more than a metabolic freeloader that burns very few calories to keep itself alive. If after four months your scale weight hasn’t changed but your clothes fit you magnificently, then chances are you changed your body composition for the better. THAT is your goal.
People trudge along on the treadmill or bike working in what they believe is their fatburning zone. Unfortunately, the so-called fatburning mode on the bike is the very mode that’s going to keep you fat. Here’s why.
While working at a lower intensity, your body burns more fat as a fuel source for the moment, BUT the cumulative calories burned are actually lower than if you’d opted for the higher intensity “cardio” mode. While in the cardio mode, you will burn less fat and more sugar as fuel sources, BUT your overall calories burned will be much greater. In the long-term, you are served much better by exercising at higher intensities and maximizing the calorie burn than focusing on which metabolic fuel source you’re using. Again, the overall CUMULATIVE calorie deficit is what matters and that’s what’s going to have you looking good for summer!
Follow these 10 fat stripping tips
1. If you’re completely new to exercise, you must safely develop your fitness foundation then graduate to higher intensities. Doing too much too soon will leave you sore and discourage you from continuing. Start off with a leisurely pace on the bike or treadmill for no more than 20 minutes and do this 3 to 4 days per week. Each week, increase your duration by 5-10 minutes per session until you are up to 45-60 minutes of non-stop cardio exercise.
2. Now that your fitness foundation is in place, start cranking up the intensity a bit with intervals. Intervals are higher intensity sprints interspersed within your regular cardio routine which are designed to get your heart racing and crank up the calorie burning control knob. During your cardio exercise, start off with 1 to 2-minute high intensity bursts and then give yourself 3-4 minutes of active recovery at a lower intensity (keep walking or pedaling). Perform your intervals at an intensity high enough that you can barely speak to the person next to you, preferably an exercise partner who shares your same fat loss goals.
3. After your body adapts to the intervals, now start trying to maintain higher intensities on a continuous basis. The longer you can exercise at higher intensities, the more calories you burn, and consequently, the more fat you pull out of storage.
4. Increase your metabolism with resistance training. That’s right, start lifting weights. If you don’t like weights, try something like calisthenics or any other mode of resistance that will stress your muscles to a degree to which they’re not normally accustomed. The more muscle you have, the more calories you burn both with exercise and at rest.
5. Make small dietary changes you can live with. If you cut out a mere 250 dietary calories per day and burned 250 calories through exercise, this is a daily total of 500 calories. It is known that you must burn 3500 calories above and beyond your normal energy needs to lose one pound of stored body fat. So this 500 calorie deficit over seven days would be one pound of stored body fat burned.
6. Not convinced? One pound of fat loss per week over the course of one calendar year is 50 pounds of FAT LOSS. Notice my terminology did not include the words weight loss. Who cares about losing weight? I can put you on the pigs feet and mayonnaise diet and you will lose weight simply because it’s low calorie, but you won’t lose much in the way of fat. You’ll likely lose your valuable muscle as well as some water weight. Once you go back to eating normal food, you will gain back all the weight and then some. In the long-run the only thing that matters is body composition, and if you can strip fat and hold onto or build muscle, then you are reprogramming your body for life.
7. Waste as much energy as you can. Be as inefficient as humanly possible. In other words, take the long way through life and avoid shortcuts.Do not take elevators or moving walkways. Take the stairs. Walk up steep hills. Carry a heavy backpack. The more effort you spend on activities of daily living, the more fit and lean you will be for life. All calories burned are cumulative.
8. Misery loves company. Find out who your saboteurs and supporters are. Avoid those that will try to undermine and jeopardize your efforts out of jealousy. Surround yourself with positive, supportive people who encourage your efforts.
9. Make it fun. Frankly, it doesn’t matter what kind of exercise you like. Find the one you enjoy, the one you’ll stick with, and do it regularly. I used the bike and walking example above, but to the extend that you lead an active lifestyle with the calorie burning control knob cranked all the way up, you WILL lose fat and keep it off.
10. The media is NOT your friend. Cancel your cable TV subscription or at least stop watching it. Stop reading fluffy celebrity magazines. These are loaded with unrealistic body images that are merely airbrushed photos meant to provide false hope and sell copies.
