A Closer Look at Omega-3 Absorption — Fish Oil vs. Krill Oil

Fish Oil vs Krill Oil

A large review of 26 clinical trials compared how well your body absorbs omega-3 fats from fish oil versus krill oil.

Krill oil raised omega-3 levels in the blood more efficiently at lower doses, while fish oil needed much higher amounts to have the same effect.

Krill oil’s unique phospholipid structure allowed it to slip into cell membranes more easily, making it a safer and more effective option for many people.

Unlike most fish oils that spoil easily, krill oil contains astaxanthin, a natural antioxidant that keeps it stable and resistant to rancidity.

Clinical trials show krill oil helps reduce knee pain and stiffness in people with osteoarthritis, improves skin hydration, elasticity, and barrier strength, and lowers liver fat.

How Curcumin Can Help You Hack Your Genes And Avoid Disease

Turmeric and Black Peppercorns

Adding turmeric powder or fresh turmeric root to multiple things you eat throughout the day, such as sautéed veggies, curry dishes, smoothies, and “golden milk,” could be a great way to take advantage of curcumin’s health benefits. The challenge is that turmeric is only around 3% curcumin, and the bioavailability of curcumin is low – meaning our bodies aren’t able to absorb and use it very efficiently. But there are several things you can do to boost the bioavailability of the curcumin you eat.

Consuming turmeric in its whole food form (fresh or dried as a powder) can enhance the bioavailability of curcumin seven to eight times.
Adding black pepper has been found to boost curcumin’s bioavailability by 2,000%.
When consumed with fat (think eggs or flaxseeds), curcumin can bypass the liver and be directly absorbed into the lymphatic system.

Three best forms of exercise to ease insomnia and improve sleep

Yoga Pose

Insomnia affects about 22% of adults worldwide and raises the risk of depression, Alzheimer’s disease, and cardiovascular events, while also draining energy, focus, and overall health.

A review of 22 clinical trials found yoga, tai chi, and walking to be the top three forms of exercise for improving sleep quality, duration, and efficiency in people with insomnia.

Walking stood out for reducing insomnia severity the most, and moderate-intensity walking is safe to repeat daily without the health risks linked to excessive vigorous exercise.

Yoga increased total sleep time by nearly two hours per night, while tai chi improved both subjective and objective sleep measures, with benefits lasting months or even years after training.

Benefits from walking and tai chi were seen in as little as four to 12 weeks, showing that consistent, moderate activity is more effective for long-term sleep improvement than intense, high-volume workouts.
