Description
Dr. Martin discusses a study from the Mayo Clinic that is showing the importance of omega-3 for those with metabolic syndrome. Since 88% of the North American population has some form of metabolic syndrome, the findings of this study apply to everyone. Dr. Martin shares 5 signs that you already have metabolic syndrome. In medicine, they wait for your blood sugar to come back as high to diagnose you with diabetes. Dr. Martin encourages patients to practice prevention now and not wait for a diagnosis! The study from the Mayo Clinic is showing how omega-3s, especially the longer chain fatty acids, DHA and EPA, decreases insulin resistance. Not only that, they can decrease the dangerous triglycerides in your bloodstream by 35%. This is a major finding and more evidence that we all need to be getting more omega-3!
