What unexpected information did this experienced doctor uncover? If you're worried about cholesterol or inflammation you need to find out. The truth may shock you, but the solution (yes, it's not too late!) is surprisingly easy! Find the answer to his hard-hitting question, as well as what you can d
Heart Surgeons' Change of Heart! What he learned can save your life!
"What does all this have to do with inflammation? Blood sugar is controlled in a very narrow range. Extra sugar molecules attach to a variety of proteins that in turn injure the blood vessel wall. This repeated injury to the blood vessel wall sets off inflammation. When you spike your blood sugar level several times a day, every day, it is exactly like taking sandpaper to the inside of your delicate blood vessels. "
While refined sugar and simple starches may be a bit easier to avoid, what about the omega 6 oil? Your body DOES need some of it for healthy function, but it must be balanced with the healthy omega-3 oil. The ideal ratio is more omega 3 than 6. However, with saturated fats, animal fats, and other sources of omega 3 being labeled as "fattening" or "less healthy" the balance has been thrown off. Omega 6 fat also gives foods a longer shelf-life which is best for the bottom line—not you!
The truth is, while omega-6 may look attractive on the surface (such as soy oil, sunflower oil, corn oil) due to slower spoilage and being 'unsaturated', they're actually behind a lot of the inflammation that's keeping people at risk and over-weight!
"Animal fats contain less than 20% omega-6 and are much less likely to cause inflammation than the supposedly healthy oils labeled polyunsaturated. Forget the "science" that has been drummed into your head for decades. The science that saturated fat alone causes heart disease is non-existent. The science that saturated fat raises blood cholesterol is also very weak. Since we now know that cholesterol is not the cause of heart disease, the concern about saturated fat is even more absurd today."
So what's the good news in all of this?
It's not too late! Chances are, if you are reading this article, you CAN reverse the damage to your artery walls. And you can also prevent more inflammation from occurring in the future. When you cut out inflammation, you also stop the body's need to plaster the artery walls with potentially harmful cholesterol. There are also many delicious solutions, and great reasons to raise omega-3 levels.
Omega-3 may actually play a part in weight loss success! Jade Beutler an author of Understanding Fats & Oils says "Omega 3 fatty acids are gaining popularity with those looking to lose weight while attaining optimal health and the latest research has revealed numerous slimming secrets attributed to Omega-3s". USA Weekend magazine also reports on a study where overweight dieters who included omega 3s in their eating plan lost 2 more pounds monthly than the control group, who did not.
First, eat greener:
Try to add more unprocessed foods to your diet. Fresh fruits and vegetables may have carbohydrates, but they are mostly complex-carbohydrates. Even in the sweetest fruits, these are broken down more slowly and blood sugar isn't so heavily affected. Stay away or minimize starchy foods like white potatoes and white breads. The healthiest food is the food that's closest to its natural state. Grass fed beef, free-range chicken/turkey, colorful fruits, squash, vegetables, nuts and seeds are the key to stopping inflammation so your natural healing process can take over.
Want to help balance your omega-3 and omega 6?
As you may know, fish and fish oil are rich in healthy omega-3 oils. But what if you don't want fish every night? Don't like the idea of cod-liver-oil? Worried about fish absorbing harmful pollutants and spreading them to your family? Or maybe, you want to follow the vegetarian path so that the oceans can recover from over-fishing. No matter what your reason, Omega-3 just got a lot healthier and easier to add to your diet!
Enter, the Chia Seed
This tiny seed is nature's richest plant-based source of omega-3 oil. By weight, it is even richer than salmon, so every spoon full of chia can help you tip the balance to the healthy omega-3 side. The best part is, there's no flavor. You can add these seeds to whatever you like (unlike fish!) to get your daily amount of omega-3. They're also full of b-vitamins, more calcium than milk, and more magnesium than broccoli…all with the taste of whatever you'd like!
"Food of convenience" is part of the reason for this obesity and cholesterol epidemic. Easier, faster, tastier, and longer-lasting has been the motto. Chia Seeds may be the ultimate convenient food. What is easier than sprinkling a spoonful onto something you were going to eat or drink anyway? What is more delicious than the best taste that YOU specify? And what natural, uncooked, preservative & pesticide free food lasts 2 years without refrigeration? Nothing else but 'the chia seed' can answer yes to all these questions.
