Krill Oil – Omega 3 and the Killer Whale


Orca the fiercest and most beautiful mammal in the ocean.  I have never eaten its meat but it is high in omega 3 oils. 
Why? In a word, Krill.  A tiny little shrimp that hangs out in the northern hemisphere. Killer whales love krill. It’s like beans and rice to a Mexican.  (I can say that because I am Hispanic).  Krill is the source of Omega 3. Fish eat krill and hence are rich in omega 3. Cut the middle man and eat krill or at least ingest its oil. 

So Why omega 3 oils?  Let me be a teenager and text OMG!  Miracle comes to mind.  This oil will help with memory, heart disease, immunity, stroke, hypertension,  depression, joint pain and skin problems.  It is known to lower blood pressure and help with blood circulation.  (Amazing how obese people seem to suffer from all those ailments.  Sorry But I did not promise to be politically correct.) Omega 3 supplements are not cheap but not expensive either.  About $22 for 60 capsules.  That’s less than 40 cents a day.

Omega 3’s are fatty acids found in sea plants.  Krill are best at converting the fatty acids into usable omega 3.  Fish eat krill and also have omega 3 oil but the krill is step one so it is rated the best.  Make sure that the manufacturer performs high end filtering on the oil no matter the source.  Fish and shrimp are both susceptible to pollutions in the ocean.  Do not cook with  vegetable oils when taking omega 3 oil or supplements.  They compete with omega 3 and actually break down the compounds that are good for us.  Canola oil and olive oil do not do this. Salmon is the fish highest in omega 3 oils.

If you want to live a healthier lifestyle be sure to add omega 3 to your diet.  Please check out the following link for sources of healthy supplements  www.essanteorganics.com/wellnesswarrior
