[Daisy_Girl]

I know you should take them...but forget why. Someone remind me with the reasons why I should take them.

I take fish oil - here are some of the reasons (I didn't realize all of these - I just looked them up)
- improves skin
- reduces chance of stroke
- Helps Heart Disease
- Fish Oil in Pregnancy Can Prevent Diabetes
- Fish Oil Can Improve Lupus Symptoms
- Helps in eye health
- diminished risk for sudden cardiac death
- A Healthy Heart
- Healthy Joint Movement
- A Healthy Brain
- A Healthy Immune System
- Balanced Mood and Sense of Well Being
- Healthy Kidneys
- Strength and Stamina
- Helps Maintain Cholesterol Levels that are Already within the Normal Range

I cut & paste most of these, but you can read about fish oil by looking up the Zone diet by Dr. Sears. I also heard that it aids in memory loss, which is why I bought it in the first place. Didn't read that when I looked it up though. Haha

What they said. Even better than flax oil because of the greater coverage of good fats.

Yes it is. I heard that MANY times before. Sometimes hard to find around here. I have both the pharmaceutical & the omega 3 6 9. I'll go see what the difference is.

Pharmaceutical grade fish oil - contains EPA and DHA. Omega 3 6 9 contains borage oil, fish oil, flaxseed oil. I think it's the EPA & DHA that is important in the first place. Here are some other benefits I found when I was looking up EPA / DHA:
asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, high blood pressure, heart disease, arthritis, depression, hot flashes, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, Alzheimer's, attention deficit disorder (ADD), MS, Parkinson's disease, dyslexia, and many more.
