Seventy five percent of all Americans, including millions of children, have silent inflammation. Your current weight, state of health and chronic disease risk is determined by how well you control the inflammatory process. You can be at a normal weight, even a world class athlete, and silent inflammation can be raging out of control. You can also be overweight and control silent inflammation with long-chain omega-3 fatty acids that are found in fish oil. Scientists and researchers found that Eskimos in Greenland have very little coronary heart disease when eating their native diet which is very high in fat. Most of fat in their diet comes from sea mammals and contain large amounts of the same long-chain omega 3 fatty acids found in fish oil.

Regardless of your diet, your weight or fitness level, daily supplementation is important for everyone. Look for highly purified Omega-3 fish oil concentrates enriched with EPA and DHA. EPA and DHA are powerful regulators of the inflammatory process. EPA and DHA are essential Omega-3 fatty acids that can’t be produced by the diet and must be found in the foods we eat. The world’s richest natural source of EPA and DHA is fish, but their EPA and DHA concentrations are too low to affect silent inflammation. Highly purified high dose pharmaceutical grade fish oil is a more concentrated source of omega-3 fatty acids, free of dangerous toxins found in other oils, and has been tested clinically.
