DHA Omega-3 Needed To Save On Health Care Long-Term June 14, 2009

If household spending on food has decreased 50% in 30 years, then that means the choice is towards lower quality, lower cost foods.  Because waistlines have not improved with less spending, we know calories were not trimmed.  What happened? Low cost is not healthier.  Thrift can be a poor supervisor.  That's the thinking that keeps people from taking omega-3s DHA, EPA and vitamins.   

In contrast, health care costs have doubled.  Pharmaceuticals cannot treat well the conditions caused by unhealthy foods and metabolic diseases.  On low budgets, families are trying to cut costs at the dinner table perhaps because they still have insurance to pay for health care.  The trends suggest people feel money invested in quality foods and supplements makes less sense than hundreds of dollars per month for insurance.  This should be reconsidered.  For maximum nutritional benefit, start with omega-3 DHA sufficiency and high quality mutivitamins for 3 months.
