Fat seems to receive a lot of reprimand but the fact is we all need fat; fat helps nutrient absorption, nerve transmission, maintaining cell membrane integrity etc. However, when consumed in excess amount, fat contributes to weight gain, heart disease and certain types of cancer. But saturated and trans fatty acids are more responsible to the statement above; while other poly-unsaturated fats such as omega 3 fatty acids seem to offer a protective effect.Researchers started to focus on omega 3 fatty acid in early 80s when studies found that Eskimos had a lower rate of heart diseases despite consuming a higher-fat diet rich in fish.Studies show that diet rich in omega 3 fatty acid may help lower blood triglycerides. Omega 3 fatty acid may also act as an anticoagulant to prevent blood from clotting. Several other studies also suggest that these fatty acids may help lower blood pressure.Where to find Omega 3 fatty acids?all fish, but are higher in fatty fish such as mackerel, salmon sardines and herring. The American Heart Association recommends eating fish at least 2 times a week. green leafy vegetables.nuts and seeds such as almonds, pine nuts, peanuts and flax seedcooking oils such as Red Palm oil, flax seed oil, canola oilsome eggs such as omega-3 enhanced eggs many commercial food products such as bread and baked goods, pet food and infant formula are now fortified with omega 3 fatty acids Key: Eat a balanced diet with lots of green vegetables and include a variety of fish on your dish in your diet. Caution: Cod liver oil is not a good substitute. It may cause toxicity in excess amount due to its high levels of Vitamin A and Vitamin DNote: CNT Omega 3 IS NOT cod liver oil, but Pure Fish oil with probably the best EPA and DHA values on the market in South Africa.Why CNT Omega 3 is a Good ThingStudies have shown that getting enough omega-3 can significantly impact our chances of developing deadly diseases. Recent research has indicated that the intake of sufficient levels of omega-3 may reduce the risk of heart disease and some types of cancer. Additionally, according to FatsForHealth.com (a Web site devoted to news and resources about essential fatty acids), omega-3 can even help treat Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, depression, and immune system dysfunction, among other health issues.

Co Q10 is an important antioxidant component of the lipid (fatty) membranes that surround all cells, as well as the lipid membranes surrounding the various organelles ( little organs ), such as mitochondria and microsomes, inside cells.
