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.

Exercise Fights COVID, New Study Reveals
Did you know that even small amounts of exercise can help you fight against a COVID infection? Check out The Washington Post article that outlines this amazing study:
“Men and women who worked out at least 30 minutes most days were about four times more likely to survive covid-19 than inactive people, according to an eye-opening study of exercise and coronavirus outcomes among almost 200,000 adults in Southern California.
The study found that exercise, in almost any amount, reduced people’s risks for a severe coronavirus infection. Even people who worked out for as little as 11 minutes a week — yes, a week — experienced lower risks of hospitalization or death from covid than those who moved about less.”
