In the icy North Atlantic waters, lives an island nation of people who have endured the challenges of harsh weather, rugged terrain and long seasons of darkness for over one thousand years. These are the people of Iceland!
Today, Icelanders are a medical marvel. They have less heart disease, high blood pressure and stroke than any other nationality in the world. In fact, they are 20 times more likely to live longer than Americans! Moreover, studies show they live these extra years in fine health, experiencing the greatest measures of happiness and contentment.
Furthermore, Iceland has the lowest rate of infant mortality, thus Icelandic women give birth to the healthiest infants having possibly the most advanced immune and nervous systems, with optimum brain and eye development.

What is it about the remarkable longevity of Icelanders that the rest of the world can learn from? What is their secret to living longer, healthier lives than anyone else?
Major scientific research conducted in the 1970's first identified certain fatty acids in fish found near Iceland that had remarkable healthful benefits. In 1982, a landmark study, conducted by a team of Scandinavian scientists, earned them the Nobel Prize for their discoveries of the workings of these substances.
The essence of what they discovered is something that you and all of your loved ones can take advantage of every day, to help live longer and healthier lives.
