There is no denying that Docosanoids have played a major role in the development of the mammalian brain, eyes, heart and organs. From the origin of time through today, animal life from the sea has nourished and nurtured land dwellers who depend on and benefit from the sea. Substantial evidence suggests that human access to Docosanoids, particularly DHA, is required for neuron function. Though seafood DHA has provided us competitive advantages as civilizations and people, each hardwired with the help of DHA, into our cultures and into our brain’s physical matter. 

 

All nerve cells need DHA for the most significant structural and functional roles these cells play. Looking at it through a clinical eye, scientist’s can now see models where the brain biology of DHA is making leaps forward as this molecule is destined to become known as the veritable Beluga Whale of Omega-3s, if you will, the heavyweight. Docosanoids are the frontier molecules of brain function.

    

Nordic, Meso-American, Mediteranean, Asian and European Histories all favor the sea for where to find the origins of life and health. Today, Omega-3 is one of the top 5 supplement products in terms of vitamin sales in the US. Traders of fish oil beware, the green movement and eco-friendly competition have a compelling argument for replacing fish oil. DHA Omega-3 is the only Omega-3 you need to supplement and DHA Omega-3 is produced in mass amounts, perpetually, in a few cultured algae strains.  Still, only a handful of countries around the world have such products. Because modern diets have drifted away from sustainable resources and natural harvesting, in addition to adding refrigerators to our lives and then food storage to the mix, our diet has drifted away from high cost fresh foods to lower quality, lower cost goods. Seafood is one of those high cost goods we are not getting of as societies. 

For example, household spending on food has decreased 50% in 30 years, meaning people are choosing lower quality, lower cost foods.  Because waistlines have not improved with less spending, we know calories were not trimmed.  S o what happened? Low cost is not healthier and dietary habits have drifted like wood, pounded by the imbalances of modern living.  With regards to health, thrift can be a poor supervisor.  That's the thinking that keeps people from making good choices and investing in preventative measures.   

In contrast, household health care costs have doubled.  Pharmaceuticals cannot treat well the conditions caused by unhealthy foods and obesity, leading to untreatable metabolic diseases.  On low budgets, families are trying to cut costs at the dinner table, still satisfied they have insurance to pay for the health care that does not exist for metabolic conditions.  The trends suggest people feel money invested in quality foods and supplements makes less sense than spending hundreds of dollars per month for Condition Insurance - it’s not Health Insurance anymore.  This whole fortressed health care system is held together by the insurance companies. If doctors had the means of caring for patients and making money without the insurance company incentives exclusively, then what would they do, focus on Health and Wellness programs too.  Some are marketing metabolism care because metabolism matters.
