Omega-3 Benefits: Reduce Inflammation!
Inflammation is a natural response to infections and damage in your body. But chronic inflammation, (persisting even without an infection or injury), can contribute to almost every chronic illness, including heart disease and cancer.
Studies have consistently observed a connection between omega-3 supplementation and reduced inflammation, reducing the production of inflammatory eicosanoids and cytokines and other molecules linked to inflammation.

⏱ BENEFITS OF INTERVAL TRAINING #3 ⏱
Increased Cardiovascular Endurance
Next time you’re slogging through your cardio, pick it up—just for 60 seconds. Just one minute of a high-intensity burst during a steady-state workout can boost your endurance and your overall health, according to measures like improved blood pressure and higher counts of mitochondria, (helping to fuel your body and brain). Better yet, that improved endurance will carry over to your more moderate-intensity runs, rides, and other workouts!
