I'm preparing for another road trip back to Long Island. I'm hoping Spring isn't far away since these bones could use a little sunshine.
Today I read an article published in Sports Health: A Multi-Disciplinary Approach. It's a medical publication, and those always make for pretty dry reading ordinarily.
To prove my point, what I read was titled "Evaluation of Lipid Profiles and the Use of Omega 3 Essential Fatty Acid in Professional Football Players." I am sure most of you would have opted for the box score of a Celtics game as more interesting, but this sort of stuff fascinates me. By now you might have guessed I'm slighty nerdish. But, it all works in your favor.
To make the information more digestible, 36 Steelers were given pharmaceutical grade fish oil, and then given a VAP(R)Cholesterol Test. They were searching for emerging cardiovascular risk factors, and researching whether omega 3 EFAs (essential fatty acids), the kind found in pharmaceutical grade fish oil, can reduce these factors.
During the period of the study each participant in the treatment group was given 2560 mg per day of mixed EPA/DHA omega 3 fatty acid supplements.
According to Dr. James Erlich, the Chief Medical Officer of Atherotech, a partner in the study, professional football players are statistically at higher than normal risk for future cardiovascular disease and sudden heart attack.
It isn't hard to figure out why, just by looking at the bodies when they line up to play. These guys are huge, and linemen often are considered "light" at 280 pounds. The 300 pound lineman, and up, is extremely common in professional football. When these guys stop playing, all this excess weight catches up with them fast.
The VAP Tests determined that pharmaceutical grade fish oil improved good cholesterol in Steeler players, and lowered damaging particles and triglycerides. Elevated levels of triglycerides (ie., animal fats) are associated with diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
Taking the pharmaceutical grade fish oil may not have helped much when they played against the Cardinals, but it will help them after the game's over, for the rest of their lives. These guys are tough, big, strong, and kind of crazy. After all, they play professional sports.
And they die, often from heart attacks and strokes, much too young. Taking pharmaceutical grade fish oil is a step in the right direction for them, and I hope they keep it up.
Keep in mind that fish oil is not just for professional athletes, or just 300 pounders. It can help virtually anyone, from helping to quell joint pain to assisting in the flushing of your arteries to stopping migraines.
If you want a more pleasant stay at this grand hotel, get some and get some today. - 16004
