Are you one of those brave souls who enjoys sea-swimming in Spring, and do you struggle with poor circulation?
Fish Oils Can Help: Essential fatty acids, particularly DHA and EPA, help to keep blood flowing and make it less sticky. Oily fish do not freeze in frozen seas due to the "anti-freeze" effect of these essential fatty acids and the same mechanism helps to keep our blood from clotting too readily.
Our Omega 3 Fish Oil provides high potency DHA-EPA (omega 3) fatty acids that help maintain a healthy heart and circulation, and proper brain function. It is extracted from whole fish (sardine & anchovy) with the livers removed. Omega 3 is generally lower than desirable in the fatty acid balance of Omega 3 to Omega 6. Omega 3 is a ‘’good’’ fat which cannot be produced by the body and must therefore be obtained through diet or supplementation.
Cramp: Cramp can be linked to poor circulation and is often caused by a simple mineral deficiency.
Leg cramps can be painful and debilitating, and can often interrupt sleep with incidences more common at night-time
Magnesium deficiency is often the most likely cause
It is also associated with a deficiency of Zinc and Calcium
Vitamin B3 and Vitamin C can help cramps associated with poor circulation
Muscle cramps may respond to Vitamin E supplementation when associated with intense exercise
Dietary help: Freshly grated ginger root as an infusion and plenty of water because dehydration causes cramp
