Evolution Diet and Cold Walter Fish In Africa

How could humans evolve on the arid plains of East Africa get their cold water fish high in omega 3?. That being so, how does it happen that we require for optimum health a fatty acid complex found in significant quantities only in deep-cold-water fish?

What I am getting at is, isn't this just another prematurely released over-hyped fad, using very small study groups and coming to the very conclusions which it set out to test? By cyneswilth

It was something like this: man used to eat, as Palaeolithic human, lots of raw meat, some vegetables and fruits (no agriculture at the time). Vegetables have no omega 3, some have ALA(read What is Omega 3 ), a precursor of DHA and EPA, the real omega 3.

This ALA can be converted to omega 3 by humans and some animals; so, whenever they ate their meat, they had a good chunk of omega 3 also.

Today meat is low in omega 3 and high in omega 6 since cattle is fed grains not grass, as before.

Eat a nutrient-dense diet. In addition to protein, a healthy body requires vitamins, minerals, trace elements, and essential fatty acids. You won't find these nutrients in refined carbohydrates, refined vegetable oils, and the highly processed foods and beverages that contain them. These foods deliver an abundance of calories but are woefully insufficient in providing important micronutrients.

Instead, start eating a Paleo-style diet based upon the nutrient-packed fresh foods that allowed humans to evolve: meats, eggs, seafood, non-cereal plant foods (especially green and yellow/orange vegetables), and nuts.

No matter how meticulous your dietary habits, I strongly recommend you consider supplementing your diet with fish oil, some extra magnesium, and a good multivitamin/mineral formula that includes selenium.

Don’t forget your daily fish oil for your entire family. You can find omega 3 fish oil, molecularly distilled, free of impurities and sent anywhere in the World at low reasonable price,
