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.

“I exercise almost every day and still can’t seem to lose weight!” We hear this comment in our office almost every day. But recent research has shown that exercise alone is only one component to weight loss. Nutrition plays an equal, if not greater, role in assisting clients to lose weight. The number of calories, as well as the quality of the food we eat plays a major role in how we lose weight. When designing a nutritional program to compliment a personal training program, the most important step is giving the client a lifestyle change that is manageable and easy. Too drastic a dietary change will never be adhered to and will most likely be unsuccessful resulting in the dreaded “yo-yo” effect to dieting.
