Interest in seal oil as a source of long-chain Omega-3 fatty acids began some thirty years ago. The remarkable studies on the dietary consumption of Greenland Eskimos by Danish scientists Bang and Dyer berg marked the beginning of long-chain Omega-3 fatty acids being studied for health benefits.
The Discovery
In the 1970s Bang and Dyer berg discovered that despite a diet high in fat, Greenland Eskimos had an astonishingly low risk of cardiac death, heart attack, coronary heart disease and cancer when compared to the Danish population. This discovery imitated a significant amount of research about long chain Omega-3 fatty acids as indicated by the several thousand papers that have emerged.

what is high blood pressure
What is Blood Pressure?
Blood pressure is the force created by the heart as it pushes blood into the arteries through the circulatory system. Each times the heart contracts or ¡°beats the blood is pumped out and creates a surge of pressure in the arteries. This is called the ¡°upper¡± or systolic blood pressure. When the heart relaxes between beats, the blood pressure goes down. This is called ¡°lower¡± or diastolic blood pressure. Blood pressure is recorded in two numbers. Both are important. The ¡°larger¡± (systolic) number is placed over the ¡°smaller¡± (diastolic number.) For example, a blood pressure reading of 120/80 is expressed as ¡°120 over 80 mm Hg.¡±
What Causes High Blood Pressure?
High blood pressure occurs when the arterioles contract (become narrowed) for some reasons, and the blood can¡¯t easily pass through them. When this happens the heart has to pump harder to force the blood through. When the pressure increases above normal and stays elevated, the result is high blood pressure.
The most common form of high blood pressure is primary (also known as essential) high blood pressure. The cause of primary high blood pressure is unknown. Several factors, such as heredity, race, obesity, lack of exercise and eating a large amount of salt on food, may contribute to this type of high blood pressure.
Who¡¯s most likely to Have High Blood Pressure?
Anyone can develop high blood pressure, but some people are more likely to develop it than others. If one or both of your parents have high blood pressure, you¡¯re more likely to develop it. Ask your parents about their blood pressure. Studies have also shown that high blood pressure is more common and more severe in blacks than in whites.
High blood pressure also can be caused by diseases such as kidney disease or hormone abnormalities. When this is the case, it¡¯s called secondary high blood pressure. Also, the use of certain drugs such as amphetamines, oral contraceptives, and diet pills, or pregnancy or heavy use of alcohol may cause secondary high blood pressure. In cases of secondary high blood pressure, the blood pressure usually returns to normal when the other disease or condition is successfully treated or when the drugs are stopped.
Most people think high blood pressure affects only adults. That¡¯s not the case, however. Teenagers and children, even very young children over the world, can have high blood pressure. Because a person¡¯s body changes rapidly during adolescence, only a doctor or other health advisor is qualified to determine if changes in blood pressure are normal for a person¡¯s age or if they show a problem or a developing problem.
