Omega 3 fatty acids are gaining lots of momentum lately for a multitude of health reasons. One positive outcome associated with omega 3 fatty acid is the beneficial impact on the cardiovascular system. According to research, these fatty acids can reduce the incidence of myocardial infarction, sudden death and promote normal heart rate and coronary heart flow while having a positive impact on lipid panels and blood pressure. This fatty acid must be obtained through diet. Some common foods containing omega 3 fatty acids are salmon, walnuts, avocado, flaxseed and vegetable oils. If these foods are not a regular part of your diet, consider a supplement. At Joint Ventures, we are proud to supply our clients with premium omega 3 products. Products are available at our Kenmore and Kendall locations, but can be delivered to any of our other locations in 24 hours…or less! Orange Cream, Lemon Zest and Strawberry Banana Omega Swirl Products are $15/8 oz bottle. Check out our Coconut Oil! $15/16 oz bottle.
