Importance of Fish Oils for Commercial Drivers

The importance of fish oils for Commercial Drivers cannot be understated.  You have probably heard that having too much saturated fat in your diet is not healthy for you, but do you know why?  There are many reasons to strive for a healthy balance between saturated fat, Mono and polyunsaturated fats as well as Omega 3 fatty acids in your diet, and I am going to tell you just a couple of them.

Did you know that a 150 pound human body has approximately 100 Trillion cells and all of those cells must work together in order to promote life?  When we eat a diet high in saturated fats it makes the cell membranes more rigid and less flexible, affecting their ability to carry out cellular communication. By eating a diet with the proper balance of polyunsaturated fats and monounsaturated fats we help our cell membranes to remain more fluid and more flexible.

A great example of why it is important that our cell membranes remain fluid is the relationship between fluid cell membranes and insulin sensitivity.  When our cells are rigid and tightly packed they often have a stronger resistance to insulin, which leads to higher concentration of insulin in the blood. When all that insulin can’t get into the cell where it is needed to break down the glucose from the foods we eat, it increases our risk for developing Type II Diabetes and prediabetes.

Another cool thing happens when we include dietary Omega-3 fats in our diets, especially when we get it from fish oils.  Fish oils can cause our cells to break down fat in a different part of the cell than normal.  When fat is broken down  in the Peroxisomes instead of the Mitochondrion it causes more fat to be broken down to produce the same amount of energy.  This means that more fat is burned to do the same daily activities. If you are trying to maintain a healthy body composition that can be very good news.

ART Corporate Solutions Testimonials

  • Although SCI has made efforts in other areas to reduce workers' compensation costs, our significant reduction in expenses is largely due to ART's program. OSHA VPP auditors called this program a Best Management Practice after auditing Sanmina-SCI.

    Mary Betsch
    EH&S
    Manager Sanmina-SCI

  • In 2004 I was invited to a short seminar put on by ART. I was so impressed with the program that I was eager to find out more about it. Dr. Michael Leahy showed me the many ways that Active Release Techniques could benefit our company. I have certainly not been disappointed in what ART has to offer. ART has saved our company thousands of dollars in Workers Compensation Benefits, Insurance Premiums which helped us to lower our experience modifier rate.

  • ART has been a WIN-WIN program for LPR and its employees. Employees can utilize ART to free themselves of discomforts that they would usually just live with. Now, with ART, the minor discomforts are prevented from becoming serious. I personally, and other managers, have had successsful experiences with ART and will continue to spread the word of ART.

  • I feel the ART program is working extremely well and is definitely a benefit to our employees. The ART provider is very responsive to our employees needs and I have heard nothing but positive feedback from our employees.
