Slash Stroke Risk Over 15% with ONE Nutrient

Every 40 seconds, a stroke strikes someone in the United States.

When it happens, lives change instantly. The ability to move, speak, and think can disappear in moments.

But what if simple nutrition… a minor dietary tweak… could slash your stroke risk?

Exciting new research reveals that could be the case. So, let’s take a closer look…

A groundbreaking new study published in the journal Stroke reveals that people with higher omega-3 blood levels have a significantly lower stroke risk.

In other words, simply increasing your body’s levels of this essential fatty acid could allow you to dodge this devastating neurological bullet.

Researchers analyzed data from over 183,000 people and found that the folks with the HIGHEST omega-3 levels had a 17 percent LOWER chance of stroke compared to those with the lowest.

It’s fantastic news because there are plenty of other reasons to boost your omega-3s, anyway.

Omega 3s…

  • fight inflammation, raise HDL (“good”) cholesterol levels, thin the blood, and lower blood pressure and triglycerides
  • support brain function, boost mental health, and may delay age-related cognitive decline
  • ease joint pain and stiffness by reducing swelling
  • fight the inflammatory symptoms of autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn’s, and psoriasis
  • improve dry skin, eczema, and dandruff symptoms, and encourage healthy hair and nail growth
  • support eye health and potentially reduce the risk of macular degeneration

If you’re a fish fan, you can boost your omega-3 levels by eating two to three servings of fatty fish (such as salmon or mackerel) weekly. If you don’t like fish, you can opt for a fish oil supplement instead.

When it comes to preventing stroke, an ounce of omega-3-prevention today is worth a pound of cure tomorrow.

P.S. According to the World Health Organization, stroke risk has skyrocketed a whopping 50 percent in the last 20 years. It’s a disturbing trend. But you can SLASH your risk with a few simple changes.
