The meta-analysis concluded that the studies showed significant reductions in BP overall, and were even more significant among those with high blood pressure (HBP) with both lower systolic and diastolic numbers.

Consumption of omega-3 fatty acids could help to minimize the debilitating effects that high junk food consumption has on the brain, according to a new review of more then 180 research papers.

Fish oils. There are numerous theories as to what actually causes fibromyalgia, but it is generally recognized that the poorly understood condition often results in what appears to be systemic inflammation for many of the people that suffer from it. Because of this, it is important that fibromyalgia sufferers stick primarily to an anti-inflammatory diet that includes plenty of fish oils. Since one of the marked characteristics of fibromyalgia is intense muscle and joint pain, supplementing with high-grade salmon oil, skate liver oil, or a fermented cod liver and butter oil blend, for instance, can provide amazing relief for fibromyalgia sufferers, as these oils help lubricate the muscular system and fortify the body with necessary omega-3 fatty acids, which feed the brain and quell inflammation. Fibromyalgia is also marked by neurological damage in the brain, particularly as it involves the normal production of brain neurotransmitters such as serotonin. By regularly supplementing with therapeutic doses of high-grade fish oils, fibromyalgia sufferers may be able to help restore proper neural function and balance out their central nervous systems' response to pain and other sensations.

Did you know that there are natural ways to lower your blood pressure safely and effectively? Scientific studies have shown that both ordinary tomatoes and the naturally occurring substance CoQ10 can provide benefits to people with high blood pressure. A systemic review of four separate studies into lycopene's effect on blood pressure found that lycopene consumption consistently reduced systolic blood pressure, and also improved cholesterol levels when doses exceeded 25 mg per day. In a meta-analysis published in the Journal of Human Hypertension in 2007, researchers reviewed 12 separate clinical trials that tested the effects of CoQ10 on the blood pressure of a total of 362 patients. Three of the studies included were randomized and controlled. In every single study, CoQ10 was found to reduce blood pressure by between 11 and 17 points (mm Hg) for systolic blood pressure and eight to 10 points for diastolic blood pressure. This drop is equivalent to that from many blood pressure drugs

"With respect to thrombotic disease risk, men would likely benefit more from  supplementation of EPA, whereas women are more responsive to DHA."

Wet macular degeneration is generally more severe than another version, known as dry macular degeneration.

"We have shown, for the first time to our knowlege, that the consumption of black tea can lower rates of systolic and diastolic blood pressure variation at nighttime," wrote researchers in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

Frequent consumption of walnuts could help to slash the risk of type 2 diabetes by almost a quarter, according to new research.

Long chain omega-3 fatty acids may help to boost the immune system by enhancing the functioning of immune cells, according to new research.

Omega-3s have also been well established as potent anti-inflammatories, a benefit that earned another "A" from the Mayo Clinic. Even one or two daily capsules can apparently significantly reduce systemic inflammation. This may explain some of the more specific health benefits that omega-3 supplementation provides, such as relief of seasonal asthma (an inflammatory condition). Omega-3s have also been shown to provide some relief to the symptoms of lupus, and may reduce the severity of inflammatory bowel conditions such as Crohn's disease enough to allow patients to reduce their doses of anti-inflammatory drugs or even stop taking them altogether. The Mayo Clinic also gave a grade of "A" to studies showing that rheumatoid arthritis patients taking regular fish oil supplements experienced less stiffness and joint pain, to a degree comparable to that from over-the-counter anti-inflammatory drugs.

Researchers publishing in Neurology have found that a diet lacking in omega-3 fatty acids may cause your brain to age faster and lose some of its memory and cognitive capabilities. Regular fatty fish consumption or supplementing with a molecularly distilled form of fish oil is shown to improve memory and thought retention and may significantly lower the risk of cognitive decline associated with the progression of Alzheimer's disease.
