Weight Lifting Supplements Information

Fish Oil Prevents Heart Attack and Stroke

Yale University published a study that discovered Omega-3 Fatty Acids increased the activity of Peroxi-, PPAR's (Proliferator-activated receptors) found in the control centers of the cells, aka cell nuclei.

These Cell Nuclei regulate fat cell growth and the action of insulin. Insulin is vital to the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins. Lack of exercise, poor eating habits and diet, obesity and genetics can slow the activity of PPAR's which thus cause Insulin Resistance. Next the body compensates by resleasing more more Insulin and  triggering higher blood pressure, abdominal obesity, high blood fats, blod clotting and inflammation which can lead to heard attack and stroke.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids from Fish, Fish Oil and Bodybuilding Supplements may reduce your risk of Heart Attack, Type 2 Diabetes and Stroke by actiavating PPAR activity which prevents Insulin Resistance.
