How Omega-3s Helps Us Stay Young.

How Omega-3s helps us stay young. Now, what we first have to understand is how we age. We age through the inability to heal quickly. So, the less we heal, the faster we age. And the main reason why people do not heal as efficiently as we did when we were younger. Well, actually two reasons. One would be hormonal level has dropped. But, the core of all of this, the real reason would be inflammation. Inflammation is being introduced to the body, weakening the cells and, in turn, making you very unhealthy. Now, I’ve been in the fitness industry since I was 13. I started when I was 13. That's almost 30 years ago and I started at the old school where people said, "Go heavy. Go heavy. Go heavy."

I did what I had to do to achieve the goal that was set in front of me.
