Omega, Omega, Omega! Nope this is not a chant from a sorority, in fact we are chanting Omega to spread the news about this essential oil that many of us neglect to incorporate in our diets. Have you ever heard your friends or family say, “Wow I feel so bloated” or maybe you have experienced the dreadful inflammation that comes after eating. Due to our fast pace life style, we are always looking to get things done quickly and that includes what we eat. We are surrounded by processed and fast foods that are made with oils that actually promote inflammation. The oils such as vegetable, sunflower and corn all promote omega-6 fats- not to be confused with the beneficial omega-3 fats!
Trading foods with omega-6 fats for a healthier choice of omega-3 fats will decrease the inflammation our bodies experience. Omega-3’s increase the number of proteins in our bodies that prevent inflammation and reduce the proteins that cause inflammation.
So how do you prevent that awful bloaty feeling?
1. 1. Start by incorporating a daily omega- 3 vitamin such as Arbonnes Omega-3 Plus which promotes wellness and anti aging benefits. http://arbonne.com/

2. 2. Reduce your stress level with yoga. Stress causes many physiological changes in our bodies, by reducing our stress level we are decreasing inflammation.
3. 3. Pamper yourself with a massage. Massages increase the amount of disease fighting white blood cells in the body which decrease inflammation along with reducing your stress hormones. Now you have an excuse to splurge and get weekly massages.
4. 4. Have some green eggs and ham! Ok forget about the eggs and ham and focus on the greens because they are rich in magnesium. Magnesium is a mineral that many of us do not consume enough of but in fact having low magnesium levels can result in high inflammation.
5. 5. Catch your Z’s. If you are having trouble sleeping at least six hours a night try Arbonne’s Unwind body lotion full of relaxing aroma essentials to help you clock those much needed Z’s http://arbonne.com/products/
