Why Use Omega Select Super Critical Fish Oil?

05.02.12

Our wonderful friends at Omega Select™ sent My Rays of Sunshine a sample of their new Omega Select™ Super Critical Fish Oil. I try to follow a clean diet to gain as much nutritional value from the foods I eat, but I use a fish oil supplement on a daily basis to replenish the necessary Omega 3′s (essential fatty acids that the body needs) that is often lacking in my diet. But, what are other reasons you should use a fish oil supplement? Less Risk of Heart Problems* More Youthful-Looking Skin* Normalized Blood Pressure* Protection from Free Radicals* Healthy Cholesterol Levels* An Energy Boost Like No Other* Triglycerides You Can Live With* Brain-Boosting Power* Healthy Blood Circulation* Excellent Eye Health* Balanced Homocysteine Levels* Healthy Lung Function Overall, I was very pleased with Omega Select™.

Everest Nutrition Krill Oil – More Antioxidant Power, No Fishy Aftertaste

02.08.12

I’ve been taking a fish oil supplement for several years now. When I was pregnant with my oldest a few years ago the prenatal pills I was prescribed contained DHA, an Omega-3 fatty acid that aided in the growth and development of my unborn child. Two babies later, I fully understand the importance of incorporating Omega 3s into my diet. Research shows that krill oil contains more Omega 3s and more antioxidant power than the highest grade fish oil. In fact Everest Nutrition Krill Oil offers 54x more antioxidant power than fish oil. When I was asked to review Krill Oil, I was thrilled! I took two Krill Oil capsules everyday for the past two weeks. Honestly, I was a little scared to take the capsules because you can see the oil swirling around inside of the capsules, but my fear was unwarranted. The capsules are not as large...

Seven Down 83 to Go

02.09.11

I finished my first seven days of P90X. Two days last week I didn’t participate in P90X. Super Bowl Sunday was a day off and my poor little man had a terrible sinus infection and earache.

The P90X yoga day was torture for me. It wasn’t because it was difficult, I found Yoga X to be so slow and boring. Yoga X is about ninety minutes long and I kept watching the time on the bottom half of the screen. It felt like three hours of unnecessary description of each and every move of the other people in the video. My husband said I could skip it, but I’m not a quitter. I caught...
