Because we should all look to clean food as a means to get healthy and fit first, it would seem logical to eat lots of fish to get your daily and optimal amounts of omega 3 fatty acids. After all, fish are the best source of omega 3s. Unfortunately, life is not that simple; here is some food for thought:

Comparing krill oil and fish oil are like comparing apples and oranges. The benefit of krill oil MAY (clinical studies need verification) increase HDL cholesterol and this would have a benefit on the progression of atherosclerosis.
On the other hand, krill oil is rich in phosphatitic acids and phosphoinositols, not EPA and DSHA. Granted krill does have some EPA and DHA but not...

1. Exercise
- Exercise is one key to good health. There is no substitute for exercise. Supplements can make a big difference when used properly. However, exercise can also lead to health problems. See below.
