The health benefits of Krill Oil and it's medicinal uses.
Krill Oil is a nutrient dense liquid that is made from small shrimp-like animals found
in the Antarctic ocean.
This can be taken as a daily supplement to protect and heal the human body from many
different health problems.
In today's video we will explore 25 facts and benefits of krill oil, and explain how
it works in the body.
1. Joint Health Krill oil can help those suffering with all
forms of arthritis, as it is rich in omega 3 fatty acids. Omega 3's lower inflammation
in the joints and work as natural pain relief. Taking a daily supplement can help to reduce
stiffness and swelling in the joints.
2. Immunity If you suffer with cold or flu infections
often then taking a good quality Krill Oil supplement can help. It's omega 3-s support
your immune system in fighting off harmful viruses, bacteria and other pathogens from
the environment. DHA, one of the main types of omega 3 in Krill Oil enhances white blood
cell activity to protect the body from infections.
3. Absorption Compared to other fish oils, Krill Oil's nutrients
are much more easily absorbed and used by the body. The omega 3 fats in the oil are
bound to phospholipids, which helps them to be absorbed directly into your cells, especially
the brain.
4. Brain Health We highly recommend taking Krill oil if you
suffer with memory problems, poor concentration or brain fog. DHA found in Krill oil can rapidly
boost brain health, and may help prevent dementia with age. DHA is used as raw material to make
the brain structure and it's cells. This is extremely important in growing children and
pregnant women.
5. Anti-Aging The healthy omega 3 fats found in Krill Oil
help to reduce inflammation in the body and protect from oxidative damage. Krill oil also
contains a unique antioxidant called Astaxanthin, which is one of the most powerful antioxidants
found in nature. This can protect the internal organs and skin from free radical damage with
age.
6. Heart Health Fish oils are perhaps most well-known for
their ability to strengthen the heart and cardiovascular system. The deep red coloured
astaxanthin in Krill Oil can help to reduce high blood pressure and improve blood flow.
The omega 3 fats also reduce inflammation in the arteries and allow for normal blood
flow. This helps the heart to pump oxygen rich blood around the body to support your
billions of cells.
7. Eye Health We highly recommend taking a daily supplement
of Krill Oil if you suffer with dry eyes, blurred vision, eyestrain and fatigue. The
nutrients in Krill Oil reduce strain on the eyes by lowering inflammation. This is very
useful if you work on a computer all day, or spend a lot of time reading.
8. Exercise Performance It is very important to get enough omega 3
fatty acids into the diet, especially when exercising. Arctic Krill oil is a superior
source of omega 3-s which promote flexible movements during exercise and higher energy
levels. By lowering inflammation, Krill oil also helps the body to recover faster after
an intensive workout.
9. Energy Production Krill Oil can also help the body to produce
more energy at the cellular level. The omega 3-s and antioxidants help to strengthen the
mitochondria. These are the small energy factories within your cells that make cellular energy
called ATP. This can help you to feel less tired and more alert.
10. Liver Health Krill oil naturally contains choline, a nutrient
which is extremely important for healthy cells. Choline helps to strip away unwanted fat from
the liver, so that it can continue to purify your blood and reduce the risk of liver diseases.
11. Weight Loss By supporting liver function this oil can
also help you to lose weight and burn off those extra pounds. The insulin hormone must
be kept down in the body in order to burn fat quickly. The fat soluble nutrients found
in krill oil help to keep this hormone down so that you may tap into your own fat reserves
for energy and lose weight.
12. Menstrual Pain If you are a woman who suffers with heavy
periods and above average menstrual pain then you may consider Krill Oil or Cod Liver Oil.
The omega 3-s help to naturally alleviate pain and also help the blood to flow more
freely. We also recommend eating lots of cruciferous vegetables to balance female hormones.
13. Bone Health Omega 3 fatty acids in krill oil improve the
strength of the bones by boosting the amount of calcium that they store. This reduces the
risk of osteoporosis and bone fractures with age. We also recommend consuming foods rich
in vitamin D and vitamin K2 to further strengthen the bones.
14. Lung Function Studies show that astaxanthin and omega 3-s
found in krill oil can help to improve lung function in ex-smokers and overweight people.
Astaxanthin is an antioxidant which helps to protect the lungs from further damage and
improve oxygen levels in the blood.
15. Learning Disorders Parents could consider giving their children
a daily supplement of Krill Oil if they have learning disorders like dyslexia or ADHD.
Studies show that this oil can improve concentration levels by 60%, social skills by 49% and planning
skills by 50%. This works very well when used alongside movement therapy.
16. Improve Mood If you suffer with chronic depression or other
mood disorders then taking Krill Oil daily can help. Studies show that omega 3 fatty
acids and choline help to improve brain chemistry and nerve health by regulating serotonin and
other neurotransmitters in the brain.
17. Stress Studies show that taking omega 3 fatty acids
frequently reduces problems related to stress and anxiety. The EPA found in Krill oil helps
the brain to manage its stress response, in creating feelings of peace. It also helps
to balance brain chemistry and neurotransmitters to help you sleep better at night.
18. Skin Health The skin is the largest organ in the human
body and needs lots of omega 3's to make strong cell walls. Omega 3-s in Krill Oil help to
moisturise the skin and prevent red, dry or itchy skin disorders like dermatitis. They
have also been shown to protect it against sun damage and reduce inflammation to fight
pimples and acne.
19. Nutrients 1 krill oil capsule of 1000mg generally contains
240mg Omega 3-s, 100mg of Astaxanthin, 50mg of Choline and 430mg of Phospholipids.
20. Digesting Krill Oil The important nutrients found in Krill Oil
such as DHA, EPA, Choline and Astaxanthin are fat soluble. To absorb these properly
you will need a healthy digestive system and a working gallbladder. If you struggle with
digestion issues, you can take an ox bile supplement daily to help absorb fat soluble
nutrients and omega 3's.
21. Fish Oils vs Krill Oil Most fish oil supplements you see in stores
are highly processed and heated which destroys their delicate nutrients. Unfortunately these
can also go rancid very quickly as they are very fragile.
Krill Oil is a much better option because the phospholipids and astaxanthin within help
to protect the natural oils from turning rancid, and keeps them fresh for much longer.
Krill oil also contains less toxins and contaminants than fish oils as they are lower on the food
chain.
The only downside is that Krill oil does not contain Vitamin A and D like cod liver oil.
22. Dosage Krill oil usually comes in soft gel capsules
or hard capsules. Be sure to read the label for the correct daily dosage and consult your
health care professional if you are already taking any existing medications.
23. Sustainability Another added benefit of Krill Oil is that
fishing for Krill is very carefully regulated in order to protect the sea creatures and
balance of the oceans food chain. This is much more sustainable and eco-friendly than
regular fish oils and cod liver oil.
24. Storage Krill Oil stays fresh for much longer than
other forms of omega-3, and can be stored safely in dark cool place. You may also store
this in the refrigerator in the same way you would with raw fish.
25. Side Effects Those with seafood allergies may be allergic
to Krill Oil supplements as this is a marine oil, made from shellfish.
Krill oil can slow blood clotting which may increase the risk of bleeding during and after
surgery, so be sure to stop using this at least 2 weeks before a scheduled operation.
As you can see, krill oil has some fantastic health benefits for the human body, especially
when taken on a regular basis.
Supplements like these take time to begin healing the body, so be sure to continue with
your daily dose and you will begin to notice improvements in 1 month or less.
