In a study with over 11,000 patients who had suffered a heart attack within the previous three months, those who took fish oil supplements had a 41% decrease in the risk of sudden death, and a 45% decrease in the chance of dying from heart-related diseases. *
In another study with only women - 85,000 nurses monitored over 16 years - those who maintained high levels of Omega-3 also had a 45% lower risk of dying from heart disease!**
Sudden death quite often strikes those in their 40's, 50's and 60's who are unaware of their heart disease, and who have a fatal arrhythmic cardiac event.
It's alarming, but statistically the odds are that you may very well develop and suffer from heart disease. Consider the importance of taking Iceland Health Omega-3 as a part of your daily life extension program in light of the magnitude of heart disease.
Heart disease is the #1 killer of men and women - far greater than cancer!
70 million Americans currently suffer from heart disease whether they know it or not!
Half of all men, and one third of all women, are likely to develop heart disease as early as age 45.
1,600,000 people suffer a heart attack every year.
Many of these people passed physical exams, cholesterol and stress tests without any signs of heart disease before their heart attack.
500,000 of these people will die. (By comparison, the #1 cancer - lung cancer - which is greater than breast, colon and prostate cancers combined- results in an average of 157,000 deaths per year).
In fact, for 150,000, their fatal heart attack will be the first and only sign of heart disease.
No wonder so many leading national health advisors and nutritional experts recommend the importance of boosting Omega-3 intake. So, taking Iceland Health Omega-3 could be a life-saving decision for you too.
