I'm preparing for another road trip back to Long Island. I'm hoping Spring isn't far away since these bones could use a little sunshine.
Today I read an article published in Sports Health: A Multi-Disciplinary Approach. It's a medical publication, and those always make for pretty dry reading ordinarily.
Just take a look at the title, which was "Evaluation of Lipid Profiles and the Use of Omega 3 Essential Fatty Acid in Professional Football Players." Most would find the box score of a Celtics game more fun, but I love this kind of stuff. So let my nerdish obsessions work in your favor.
To make it easier for you to understand, 36 members of the Steelers were given pharmaceutical grade fish oil, and then evaluated using what is called a VAP(R)Cholesterol Test. What they were looking for was emerging cardiovascular risk factors, and determining whether omega 3 EFAs (essential fatty acids), found in pharmaceutical grade fish oil can reduce these factors.
During the study each participant received 2560 mg of DHA/EPA omega 3 fatty acid supplements.
Dr. James Erlick, a partner in the study and Chief Medical Officer of Atherotech, has found professional football players have a statistically higher risk for future cardiovascular disease and sudden heart attack than average.
It isn't hard to figure out why, just by looking at the bodies when they line up to play. These guys are huge, and linemen often are considered "light" at 280 pounds. The 300 pound lineman, and up, is extremely common in professional football. When these guys stop playing, all this excess weight catches up with them fast.
The VAP Tests determined that pharmaceutical grade fish oil improved good cholesterol in Steeler players, and lowered damaging particles and triglycerides. Elevated levels of triglycerides (ie., animal fats) are associated with diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
The pharmaceutical grade fish oil taken by the Steelers may not have benefited them in the game against the Cardinals, but it surely benefits them in the much longer game of life. These guys are big, strong, tough, and a little crazy. You have to be to play professional sports.
And too many die too young, often from strokes or heart attacks. Giving these gridiron players pharmaceutical grade fish oil is a definite step in the right direction.
And pharmaceutical grade fish oil isn't just for 300 pounders, or professional athletes. It will help virtually everyone who chooses to take it, from assisting in the flushing of your arteries, to stopping migraines, to helping quell joint pain.
If you want to extend your reservation at this grand hotel, get some now, and keep taking it. - 15683
