Omega-3 is a major part of a healthy diet.  However, most people do not get enough of it in their diet. Flodins Omega-3 Pork is a delicious way of adding more omega-3 to your diet, with up to four times more Omega-3 compared to traditionally raised meat! Along with being healthier for you, the higher content of Omega-3's also makes the fat melt faster and is thus infused in the meat creating juicy, succulent pork meat. Read on to find out why Omega-3’s are so important for your health.

The reason you need to add foods that are high in Omega-3, and low in saturated fats, is important because they have been proven to have many health advantages. One of the most important benefits of having a diet that is rich in Omega-3 is for heart health. Omega-3 has been found to reduce the risk of a second heart attack, and strokes.
A huge benefit for children is that the DHA Omega-3 found in meat products can help with their learning and behavior. There are many studies about how omega-3 levels impact how a child is able to learn, and their overall behavior. There is research that links learning disabilities and ADHD to low omega-3. Adding foods like the Flodins Omega-3 Pork help get more omega-3 fats in a child’s diet, without having to add supplements.
The brain health benefits of Omega-3 do not end after childhood. Omega-3 has a huge impact on brain health since it keeps the dopamine levels high, which is important for dealing with depression and staying happy overall. It also helps with the neuronal growth in the frontal cortex, which increases short-term memory and cerebral circulation.
Many people around the world do not consume sufficient levels of Omega-3. The deficiency of Omega-3 has been linked to being the cause or contributing factor of physical and mental health problems. Luckily products like Flodins Omega-3 Pork have hit store shelves, making it easier to get this essential fat in your diet.

How to Disclose Your HIV Status

When you learn of being an HIV positive, dreadful thoughts and nightmares followed you everywhere. You further realized that people living with HIV are not treated as normal people- stigma is very much alive. You despair when you think of sharing your status with  your loved ones. Just so you know, you're not alone. Many individuals face the similar situation each day and suffer from communication crisis.  HIV Advocates, which works and spreads news for the cause to fight HIV shares their thoughts on how to disclose your HIV status below.

HA2.jpg


Before disclosing it to your family, you may want to learn a few necessary things. First of all, contact others who are HIV positive. Talking is therapeutic and their advice can help you prepare for the road ahead of  you. If you are having trouble finding someone close, try using the vast platform of social media. (For example: HIV Advocates) Secondly, gather the facts and information from reliable sources. Educate yourself!

Afterwards, you may choose someone close to you to talk about your HIV status, a 1-1 conversation is usually best we find- at least at first. Find strength, answer their questions(help educate them) and ask for their support. Your family might be confused or frustrated at first, but with patience and education hopefully they will become your support system and biggest advocates! It takes a lot of courage and strength to reveal your health status to your family and friends.  

Be sure to support and follow HIV Advocates on Facebook- always striving to help make social change “go viral” to end the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
