In addition, fatty acids are used to form the structure of every cell in your body.
When you are deficient in fatty acids you are susceptible to more physical and emotional diseases.
You can extend your life and reduce many age-related diseases by supplementing your diet with the essential fatty acids. Most of these age-related diseases are a result of unchecked inflammation in your body.
Use omega ? 6, olive oil, but not too much since it reduces the good effects of omega - 3, flax seed oil or fish oil. Omega ? 6 has inflammatory properties and that is why you need to balance it with omega ? 3, which has anti-inflammatory properties.
If you are not taking some form of essential fatty acids, please take this recommendation serious. Essential means you need these fatty acids in your diet because your body can't create them. You need them to come from an external source ? food.
Eating too much olive will create excessive inflammation in your body and especially if you don't supplement your diet with omega ? 3.
Flax seed oil and fish oils that contain omega ?3 and omega - 6 oils are broken down in your body into DHA and EPA. It is DHA and EPA that breakdown further into prostaglandins. It is prostaglandin's that provide cells with information on how to function and reduce inflammation.
Some people cannot break down omega-3 and omega-6 into DHA and EPA. When this occurs these people definitely come down with various inflammatory illnesses.
If you lack sufficient a specific enzymes that helps to break down the fatty acids into DHA and EPA, then you need to supplement with fish oil instead of flax seed oil or olive oil.
Unhealthy eating and emotional habits also can block the conversion of flax seed oil into DHA and EPA ? eating excess carbohydrates, being overweight, drinking alcohol or caffeine, eating sugar, being overly anger, or smoking.
Fish oil already has DHA and EPA so your body does not have to create these fatty acids as it does from flax seed oil. Some people do not have the ability to take flax seed oil and break it down into DHA and EPA. So for them it is better to use fish oil.
How can you tell if you can breakdown flax seed oil into DHA and EPA? Well, it's not easy. You would have to take a blood tests to find out. So, it best to take both flax seed oil and fish oil. Both have some nutrients that the other does not have.
Go to Google and put in fish oil, then look at the label of various products and look for the quantities of omega-3, omega-6, and omega-9, GLA, EPA and DHA. I have not discussed omega ? 9 or GLA, but GLA breaks down from omega -6.
Omega ? 9 is found in oils and in avocado and is an extremely health fatty acid. At least 90% of you fat intake should be omega-9 to have the best health possible. Most foods have very little omega-9, so it would be difficult to achieve high levels of this fatty acid in your diet.
What is the purpose of a long life, if you spend most of it in illnesses?
A short life is better than a long life of being bedridden, medicine sustained, and pierced by dozens of intravenous tubes.
In all the perplexities that are going on around, many people have forgotten how simple "simple" really is. They have forgotten that one key to a healthy life is being downright simple. Simplicity is often times so profound to other people that they do not believe it unless someone complicates it for them.
They find it hard to imagine that once upon a time, people lived comfortably and very happy - that satisfaction exists even without TV, air conditioners, or phones. They lived much longer and healthier lives long before the discovery of Science and Medicine. They don't need some social science expert to tell them that needs are proportional to progress, and that needs cannot stay as they are while progress goes on, especially at a fast pace.
Well, some people have found the secrets to keeping simple while progress goes on running a crazy race around them. We will see this later in this book.
This thing about life being complicated (and should be made complicated to enjoy it) has been impressed on people by media and by a "metropolitan culture" that says life is all about competing and coping up.
Daily, from every possible angle of attack, we are bombarded by manufactured suggestions that we cannot be simply simple - that you got to have this and that, and you got to be this and that - or be left behind by the majority and be worlds apart from the rest.
This is mostly the spirit of modern commercialism. Though not actually said, the mindset of "being simple is a sin" has become rampant.
In case you haven't noticed, commercialism has become the strongest life pressure, and the strongest life killer! The pressures brought about by stressful competition can kill!
Recently, Australian health experts discovered that too much emotional and work related pressures produce chemical reactions in the blood that later develop into fatal diseases like cancer.
According to physical therapists and massage therapy experts, pressures build up lumps in the body that constrict smooth blood flow. These constrictions produce your unexplained body aches that can later weaken your body defenses. They are harmful to your health.
Advocates of simple living say that Commercialism is blowing surface-deep physical and vain emotional needs out of proportion by tricking the conscience of people into believing that non-conformities to suggested and highlighted commercial needs are bad.
Simply put, it is saying, "You're a loser if you don't have this!"
Commercial needs are often for physical beauty, trendy accessories, fame, prestige, fashion, and other mundane, temporal, and non-essential things, all of which man can live without. These things excite and resurrect the spoiled brat in people.
