| Not All Omega-3s Are Created Equal |
 |
|
Omega-3s have been researched for more than five decades for their protective effects in brain, heart, joint, and eye health. Did you know that 80% of Americans don’t get enough of these crucial fatty acids in their diet? That’s why many take supplements — and not all omega-3 supplements are created equal.
Matter is a breakthrough omega-3, with EPA and DHA in free fatty acid form that are 3-4x more bioavailable than standard fish oil capsules. What’s more, the Matter formula combines these superior omega-3s with a powerful antioxidant extracted from bilberries, and a B-vitamin complex patented by Oxford to slow the age-related brain loss associated with mild memory concerns.
Have you researched your omega-3?

| 4,000-year-old bread, anyone? An amateur Egyptologist (who also created the XBox) extracted yeast from a loaf of bread baked around 2000 B.C. in Thebes. Now, he’s partnered with an archaeologist to use that yeast to bake bread in California. (The Atlantic) |
| Reading fiction boosts empathy. Read any good books lately? Researchers at the University of Toronto and elsewhere say that reading novels helps us step outside of our own experience and understand other people, increasing our capacity for empathy. (Discover) |
| Are mental disorders actually disorders? A new paper from Washington State University suggested that scientists may want to think about disorders like anxiety and depression as responses to adversity rather than chemical imbalances. (Forbes) |
| Kindness boosts your health. We all know helping others is objectively good, but it turns out it has tangible benefits for us, too. A new study shed light on the topic, including the finding that random acts of kindness — “such as helping an older neighbor carry groceries” — is associated with overall well-being.
