The EPA in Krill Oil is good for YOUR heart.


The best food sources of EPA are grass-fed beef or fatty cold-water fish like salmon, lake trout, sardines, and pollock. But even these are now raised on an unnatural diet and don’t have the EPA they once did.
I used to recommend taking fish oil for EPA. But now I’ve found a much better source that’s far more bioavailable than any fish oil ever was. It’s krill oil. The EPA in krill oil is in the “phospholipid” form that penetrates directly into heart cells. I recommend taking at least 500 mg of krill oil EPA per day.
2. Lower this heart-stopping blood fat. Triglycerides are more important to track for your heart health than cholesterol. People with high levels of these fats in the blood have three times the risk of heart disease as people with high LDL levels.
One of the best ways to lower triglycerides is to cut out excess, processed sugar from your food. Research presented at a recent annual meeting of the American Heart Association found that women who drank only two sugary drinks a day were nearly four times as likely to have high triglycerides, the best predictor of heart risk for women.
High fructose corn syrup is just as bad. One animal study found that a diet high in HFCS resulted in elevated levels of triglycerides and LDL cholesterol.
Instead of sugar, load up on protein. High-quality protein will lower your triglycerides and raise your HDL. The best protein sources are nuts, eggs, free-range poultry, grass-fed beef and wild-caught salmon.
A pretty good source of protein that also has another triglyceride-lowering property is beans. Their soluble fiber absorbs fats and helps the body excrete them before they can turn into triglycerides. One study published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that when men with high triglycerides added canned beans to their diet every day they lowered their triglycerides by 18%.7
Eat one or two cups of beans every day. Try a variety like pintos, black beans, chickpeas, lentils, cannellini, and peas.
If you’re not a bean lover, you can take an extract of white kidney beans. In one double-blind placebo-controlled study, patients were assigned to take either a placebo or 1,000 grams of white bean extract twice a day before meals containing starches. After 24 weeks, the group taking the white bean extract lowered their triglycerides 330% more than the placebo group.8
Start with 500 mg of the extract twice a day. It’s important to take it about 20 minutes before you eat to get the triglyceride lowering effect.
To Your Good Health, Avoid statins.

Dear Reader,
Have you heard of NNT?
I wouldn’t be surprised if you hadn’t… it stands for "number needed to treat." The number of people who have to take a drug for just one person to benefit from it.
If a drug helps one person out of five it will be marketed as a “wonder drug.”
Which means for you, the person taking it, there’s an 80% chance it won’t do anything for you.
That’s why the pharmaceutical industry doesn’t want you to know what NNT is … and they completely ignore it when they advertise their drugs to you.
Statins are the perfect example. The commercials would have you think life is glorious on a statin drug. Now you can canoe and kiss your spouse and play with your grandkids.
