An omega-3 powerhouse in its most natural form, Kori Krill Oil delivers essential omega-3s in the most natural phospholipid form your body likes better for superior absorption. Plus, it has many nutrients not found in fish oil or any other source—a truly heart healthy choice!
“Heart disease is the leading cause of death for men, women, and people of most racial and ethnic groups in the United States,” according to the CDC. This amounts to around 695,000 deaths a year from various forms of heart disease, or one in five deaths overall. Beyond the personal impact, heart disease costs the United States close to $250 billion each year. “This includes the cost of healthcare services and hospitalizations, medicines, and lost productivity,” the CDC notes.
Heart Healthy Habits: Kori Krill Oil as Part of Your Daily Supplement Regimen is an original (HealthXWire) article.
“Coronary heart disease is the most common type of heart disease, killing 375,476 people in 2021.” Plaque builds up in the coronary arteries that carry oxygenated blood to the heart, and over time, this buildup narrows the arteries, restricting blood flow. Plaque can break free, forming a clot that blocks the flow of blood. When this happens in a coronary artery, it results in a heart attack. If a clot reaches the brain and blocks or bursts an artery, it causes a stroke.
Two out of ten deaths from coronary artery disease occur among adults under 65.
Long-term, extensive research has identified the primary risk factors for developing heart disease, laying the foundation for preventative heart healthy habits:
High LDL (“bad”) cholesterol, elevated triglycerides, high blood pressure, and smoking top the list.
Lifestyle choices and medical conditions also increase the risk of developing heart disease: being overweight or obese, having type 2 diabetes, following an unhealthy diet, lacking regular exercise, and excessive alcohol consumption.
Protecting your heart with heart healthy habits
There are lifestyle changes to lower the risk of developing heart disease and to slow or stop its progression:
Stop smoking.
Limit alcohol consumption. In fact, many authorities now recommend avoiding alcohol altogether.
Exercise daily, even just a 15- or 20-minute brisk walk that gets your heart pumping.
Reduce stress and anxiety with meditation, yoga, or tai chi.
Diet plays a significant role in heart health, overall well-being, and longevity. Heart healthy habits include maintaining a normal weight and improving nutrition by following a medically-endorsed plan, such as the Mediterranean diet. Limit fried foods, meat, and dairy products high in saturated fats, as well as overly processed foods.
You can enhance the heart health benefits of your diet with natural nutrients that are proven to help reduce the risk of heart disease. Among these, omega-3s are particularly important.
What omega-3s are, and why we need them
“Omega-3’s are a type of unsaturated fatty acid that may reduce inflammation throughout the body. Inflammation in the body can damage the blood vessels and lead to heart disease and stroke,” advises the Mayo Clinic.
There are three primary omega-3 fatty acids: alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). “ALA is found mainly in plant oils such as flaxseed, soybean, and canola oils. DHA and EPA are found in fish and other seafood,” notes the NIH. Our bodies cannot produce these essential nutrients; they must come from foods and supplements.
Omega-3s are abundant in fatty fish, so “eating at least two servings of fish a week could reduce the risk of heart disease,” recommends the Mayo Clinic. Omega-3 fatty acids benefit heart healthy habits by reducing triglycerides, lowering high blood pressure, preventing blood clotting, and lowering harmful LDL cholesterol while raising beneficial HDL cholesterol.
The American Heart Association (AHA) confirms: “Omega-3 fatty acids and other nutrients in fish may benefit heart health and reduce the risk of dying from heart disease.”
Good sources of omega-3-rich fish include salmon, mackerel, cod, sardines, herring, and tuna. “Most adults should eat at least 8 ounces or two servings of omega-3-rich fish a week,” recommends the Mayo Clinic.
There are ALA omega-3 fatty acids (but not DHA and EPA) in flaxseed and flaxseed oil, chia seeds, walnuts, canola oil, soybeans and soybean oil, and green leafy vegetables.
The heart healthy powers of Kori Antarctic Krill Oil
If you are not able to incorporate fish into your diet several times a week and are uncertain about supplements, there is an excellent natural option: the oil extracted from krill, a tiny shrimp-like crustacean abundant in the icy cold waters of Antarctica, is a super source of concentrated, bioactive omega-3s. One brand, Kori Krill Oil, is gaining followers worldwide as it provides extensive health benefits while being harvested and processed responsibly and sustainably.
Kori Krill Oil contains high levels of omega-3 EPA and DHA, plus choline, which is needed by your brain and nervous system “to regulate memory, mood, muscle control, and to form the membranes that surround the body’s cells” (NIH). Kori Krill Oil also contains astaxanthin, a powerful antioxidant that defends your cells against oxidative stress from free radicals.
70% of Americans are deficient in omega-3
For omega-3 fatty acids to support our heart, brain, eyes, joints, skin, and immune health effectively, they need to come from the foods we ingest. Western diets tend to favor more meat and poultry as the protein choice but include little fish. As a result, 70% of Americans are deficient in their omega-3 levels. This is especially true for vegetarians and vegans, as well as those trying the popular Keto diet.
A mission to improve heart healthy habits
“When I realized how deficient in omega-3 Americans are, I made it my mission to create a brand that makes a difference in the health and wellness of Americans,” explains Nancy Chan, CEO of Kori Krill Oil.
Kori Krill Oil is “the ocean’s superior omega-3, distinctive from other sources of omega-3s.” It delivers omega-3s in their most natural form, making them more fully digestible and absorbable, with greater nutritional value, and without negative aftereffects (no fish burps!). “In our pure krill oil range,” Ms. Chan explains, “we made decision-making for our products easy by anchoring them to the U.S. Dietary Guidelines for the recommended amount of omega-3 EPA and DHA.”
Sustainability is the cornerstone of Kori Krill Oil
The company is 100% vertically integrated, from the sustainable harvesting of krill in the pure ocean waters of Antarctica, which includes setting voluntary catch limits, and through every step of production and distribution until the bottles of Kori Krill Oil arrive at retail for purchase.
Sustainability has been the cornerstone of how Kori Krill Oil operations were created. “We participate with The Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR), which is an international commission of 26 member countries,” Ms. Chan is proud to announce.
