Have you heard of omega-3s? Probably. Today you see them everywhere on all kinds of food products advertising 'rich in omega-3s'. What are omega-3s anyway, and do you really need them? The answer to the second part of that question is, ABOLUTELY. But why do we hear about omega-3s all the time? The answer to that is because most people today don't get enough. Before I get into why that is, let's look at what they do. Omega-3s are one type of polyunsaturated fat that are called 'essential fatty acids' that you must get from your diet or supplements because your body can not make them. Another type of essential fats are the omega-6s. What is very important is the ratio that you get between omega-3s and omega-6s. You really need to be eating these in about the same amounts for your body to function optimally. This is because these two types of fats have opposing functions and compete with each other in many physiological processes. For example omega-6s lead to infla...

Since Dr Basant Puri, a consultant psychiatrist and senior lecturer at London's Imperial College MRI unit, released his findings on Omega 3 and its effect on brain function and depression, many studies have been performed regarding the beneficial effects of this fatty acid. Studies over the past two years have consistently confirmed that Omega 3, a substance lacking in today's "diet" is a key component in the brain's development and proper functioning. The notion that Omega 3 was linked to depression and other mental illnesses came about based on studies conducted at Harvard University in 1999 on people with bipolar and a 1996 study by the Journal of the American Medical Association studying the prevalence of depression across ten countries. The Harvard study found that fish oil was an effective treatment for bipolar. The study conducted by the Journal of the American Medical Association was expanded upon in 1998 when it was discovered that depression was lower...

The world is pretty confusing. Some experts are saying you need a particular omega family in your diet, others are saying that it's dangerous. People are arguing over which fatty acids are better and what the best sources of omega 3 are. This article attempts to answer question as to whether or not you need an omega 3-6-9 supplement. Omega-3 There is little to deny here. 90% of the population are deficient in omega-3, despite it being very important to our health. DHA, an acid in omega-3, makes up 30% of our brain and contributes to its overall growth, development and function. Omega-3 also helps to reduce excess inflammation. So therefore we do need omega 3. Omega-6 The fact of the matter is that we tend to get too much omega-6 in our diet. This is due to the kinds of processed, meaty food we eat. We do need more omega-6 than omega-3, but we have too much more. This results in excess inflammation as omega-6 and omega-3 control inflammation together. Omega-9 There is no problem wit...

Visitors entering Christ Church expecting to see splendid representations of the evangelists and flamboyant illustrations of the Crucifixion are bound to be disappointed. Outwardly resembling a grand European synagogue more than a Christian house of worship, Christ Church was built from 1842-1849 by the London Society for the Promotion of Jews to Christianity for the specific purpose of drawing Jews into the Christian fold. Before that time simple proselytizing - and the promise of financial gain - had resulted in very few Jewish conversions, if any; the Protestant Bishopric in Jerusalem hoped that an attractive, accessible church might facilitate the cause. It wasn't easy to build a new church in Jerusalem during the 1840's. The Turks allowed existing churches to operate but didn't permit new construction. Thus it was necessary to employ a stratagem: Christ Church was billed as a chapel for the British consul, and the sanctuary was annexed to his residence. Living quarters...

Omega 3 oils have been called "the miracle food of the 21st century". Many health professionals and health organizations, including the American Heart Association, agree that there are many nutritional health benefits that can be gained by taking Omega 3 fats. Numerous research studies have shown that omega 3 oils can help prevent heart disease, maintain optimum blood pressure and cholesterol levels, and provide relief for joint pain, migraines, depression, autoimmune diseases and other conditions. Omega 3 fats are polyunsaturated fats that contain essential nutrients for our bodies. Omega 3 fatty acids cannot be manufactured by our bodies and therefore must be obtained through our diet in either our food or by taking supplements. There are many different kinds of omega 3 fats, but the most important ones are alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Flax seed and walnuts are excellent sources for ALA. Fish oils are an excellent s...

Based in Saint-Imier since 1832, Longines has a long and prestigious history. The story begins with Auguste Agassiz getting a job in Saint-Imier as a trader of watch parts. At that time it was common practice for blank components to be sent out to craftsmen who worked at home. He eventually took over the business, but it wasn't until his entrepreneur nephew Ernest Francillon joined the company that Longines really started. Ernest's big idea was to gather the makers of all these components together under one roof, and so in 1866 he purchased land at Les Longines, or 'long and narrow fields' in the local dialect. By 1867 he had convinced an assortment of piecemakers to work in the new factory, and their first in house movement was produced, along with the Longines name, and winged hourglass logo to defend against counterfeits. This logo would be registered as a trademark in 1880, the oldest watch brand logo in existence. From the start the Longines brand received commenda...

Longines is another Swiss-based watch company. Also founded in the 1830s, it holds the oldest registered watch company logo. Though currently owned by Swatch, it was founded by Auguste Agassiz in Saint-Imier, Switzerland. When Agassiz's son Ernest Francillon took over in 1862, he turned the company into a true business. The company's name comes from the tracts of land purchased by Francillon, near a place called Les Longines. The company's first watch debuted in 1867, and they continued successfully from there, creating their first wristwatches in the early 20th century. 1912 was a big year for Longines, as they began to move away from round watches and experimented with more daring shapes. They also premiered their creation of automatic timing at the Swiss Federal Gymnastics Meet in 1912. Another landmark for Longines was in 1927, when their timepieces were used in Charles Lindbergh's transatlantic flight. In 1952, their Photogines device was used in equestrian sports,...
