The Omega-3 Effect by William Sears, MD

index.aspx.jpgAfter reading this book, I will definitely add more fish and omega-3's to my diet!  According to Dr. Sears (and many other experts whose research was used in this book), giving yourself an oil change means eating more omega-3 oils, less omega-6 oils, and very little hydrogenated oil.  The benefits of the oil change will be apparent by improvements all over the body.  It will improve cardiovascular function and help correct heart disease by preventing blood thickening and lowering blood pressure.  Omega-3's improve brain function and build better brain cells.  Omega-3's can even help prevent and improve neurological conditions such as Alzheimer's disease and learning disorders.  There is a long list of other ailments that can be helped by this oil change and I have to say that it made me think of my Granny and her wisdom in forcing my mother and her siblings to take cod liver oil every day. I definitely recommend this book for anyone who would like to improve their overall health and health knowledge!
