A Fun & Tasty Way to Get Your Fish Oil

It's been a really busy and exciting week! I've enjoyed trying out Barlean's products and sharing them with all of you. It's been fun to come up with new and unique ways to use products that seem to only have a single utility, like making pudding from chai seeds, using an oil supplement to make a salad dressing, and using Barlean's Organic Greens to make fruit leather.

The product that I really felt was unique, besides Barlean's Olive Leaf Extract, was their Omega Swirl to go. They sent me the Key Lime flavored Omega Swirl To-Go Ultra-Potency Fish Oil. Fish oil supplements have been shown to help with depression, psychosis, attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), Alzheimer’s disease, and other thinking disorders. It's brain food. As we get older, our bodies begin to become more brittle and dry. Fish oil helps to moisturize joints and even the eyes. Studies have shown that fish oil lowers triglyercides 20-50%, which means it can be beneficial in preventing heart attacks. Finally, studies have also shown the supplementing with fish oil with B12 can help reduce menstrual cramps.

Many people have a hard time taking fish oil supplements because of the fishy taste, but the Omega Swirl To-Go tasted like desert. While it has a rich and creamy texture, the Omega Swirl To-Go is both dairy and gluten-free. I gave my daughter a little bit to try and she loved it. I'm definitely going to buy the Omega Swirl To-Go for kids. Research has shown that fish oil helps kids concentrate and can be extremely beneficial in helping dyslexia, A.D.D, A.D.H.D. They do so by increasing Acetycholine, Dopamine and Serotonin levels in the brain. Acetycholine is responsible for memory. According to Dr. Barry Sears: "dopamine spurs you to action, enhancing your brain’s ability to concentrate on the task at hand and allowing you to organize yourself more efficiently. Serotonin is your morality or “feel good” hormone. It gives you a sense of well-being and allows you to handle stress more easily." I'm excited to see if there is going to be a noticeable change with our daughter as we supplement with fish oil.
