How To Avoid Omega 3 Deficiency

8 Basic Suggestions

In this page we will cover a summary of what the Essential Fatty acids are; the Omega 6 to Omega 3 ratio at a cellular level; how we become ill when this ratio is unbalanced, the symptoms of Omega 3 deficiency, some disorders caused by the deficiency of Omega 3, and my 8 final recommendations to eliminate it and to improve health 100%.

When we speak of Essential Fatty acids we refer to the fats that our diet must supply to keep us healthy. If we do not obtain these fatty acids our health suffers and we become ill. This is why they are called ESSENTIAL.

Omega 3 Deficiency - Omega 6 to Omega 3 Ratio.

All the cells in our body have a membrane. Each membrane is mainly made of essential fats, or essential fatty acids, Omega 6 and Omega 3. If the membrane has too much Omega 6 it becomes hard, viscous and there are problems for food, energy and hormones transfer.

When Omega 3 is sufficient the membrane is thinner, less viscous, more elastic, and less inflamed. Too much 3 Omega and the membrane “drips.” Too much Omega 6 and it becomes clogged. It has been established that the appropriate Omega 6 to Omega 3 ratio is near 1 to 1. In our modern life this ratio has changed to around 20 to 1, and sometimes up to 50 to 1. We eat too much Omega 6. For a better explanation you can visit my page on Nourishment .

As a result of too much Omega 6, our cellular membranes are heavy, inelastic and the cellular function is slow. The body must do more work to feed itself and to remove toxins. Tissues are plugged up and they become inflamed. Inflammation is the main symptom of many diseases, from heart disease heart disease , arthritis, allergies. The list goes on and on.

Omega 3 deficiency is also related to diseases like diabetes and thyroid dysfunction. If your membranes are slow, your body must produce more insulin to be able to put sugars into cells to produce energy. Then you become more insulin resistant. If your pancreas is inflamed it will be more difficult to produce the insulin your body is demanding.

Omega 3 fish oil deficiency also is related to high cholesterol. Cholesterol is a substance that heals and alleviates inflammation. High cholesterol is not the real problem. The body produces more cholesterol to try to fix something, generally inflammation. Fix the inflammation and the body will lower its cholesterol production. In addition, insulin stimulates more cholesterol production.

Nearly 90% of the population in modern societies has an imbalance in the Omega 6 to Omega 3 ratio. They all have an Omega 3 deficiency.

Probably, in each one of the pages on this site we deal with different aspects of this Omega 3 fish oil deficiency.

Omega 3 Deficiency - What Omega 6 Rich Diets Produce.

• Premature aging.
• Impairs the structure of your DNA.
• Feeds cancer cells and has been connected with the development of cancer of the breast, ovaries, prostate, rectum, pancreas, biliary tract, lung, gallbladder, and stomach.
• Produces a significant rise in total cholesterol, triglycerides, and bad cholesterol, and a decrease in good cholesterol.
• Decreases insulin sensitivity, thereby causing abnormally high insulin levels and, eventually, diabetes.

To limit the ingestion of Omega 6 is essential for good health. If you think of sugar substitutes, try to stay away from products like NutraSweet, which is full of a toxin called Aspartame. You should use stevia instead.

We produce Trans fats in our factories. We add hydrogen to vegetable oils to create margarines that have very convenient characteristics, such as a long shelf life and being spreadable. They taste good and are very cheap.

All bakery products, cookies, cakes, doughnuts, etc. are all full of grains, omega 6, but are also full of trans fats. Try to eliminate them from your diet. Typical French Fries have about 40 per cent trans fatty acids and many popular cookies and crackers range from 30 per cent to 50 per cent trans fatty acids. Doughnuts have about 35 per cent to 40 per cent trans fatty acids.

My Suggestions to Eliminate Omega 3 Deficiency and Improve Health.

It has been mentioned several times; we must reduce Omega 6 and increase Omega 3 in order to improve your omega 6 to omega 3 ratio to a more healthy level. You can do it by following these steps:

• Take your fish oil daily. See my page on Dosage
• Do not buy or take supplements containing omega 6 or 9. You already have too much of these and don’t want to put more fuel on the fire.
• Avoid all sodas and sugary drinks. These increase your insulin, make you fatter, more inflamed and cause all the disorders we want to avoid. Regain taste for that flavourless liquid called water.
• No more cooking with grain oils (yes, those that indicate cholesterol free oils. Those are full of Trans fats); they are saturated with omega 6. Learn to cook with coconut oil, butter and olive oil.
• Exercise daily, 20 -30 minutes. This brings your hormones back into balance. See our page on Fish oil and Exercise .

• Try to avoid grains and its derivatives. Replace them with vegetables-uncooked, if possible- and some fruit.
• Sit in the sun light for 20 minutes per day, with 50% of your skin exposed. It is the best and cheapest health supplement. You will lower your cholesterol, decrease your risk of multiple sclerosis and osteoporosis, prevent and treat cancer, lower your blood pressure, increase the value of exercise, improve your body's ability to detoxify, and improve your mood.
• Increase the consumption of different omega 3 rich products like: Omega 3 meat-free range cattle, not grain fed-, omega 3 eggs and omega 3 dairy products.
  
  If you want to avoid brain problems, Neuro-Natural Memory is specifically formulated to concentrate on brain function and memory enhancement. It aims to improve concentration and to help reduce the potential for brain and memory function problems in later age, such as Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia.
