WHY ARE OMEGA 3 FATTY ACIDS CONSIDERED ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS?

When it comes to general health there are a few essential things that are needed on a daily basis in order to maintain a healthy system. The human body can make most of the types of fats it needs from other fats or raw materials. That isn’t the case for omega-3 fatty acids (also called omega-3 fats). These are essential fats—the body can’t make them from scratch but must get them from food. Foods high in Omega-3 include fish (cold-water fish such as salmon, mackerel, herring, halibut), vegetable oils, nuts (especially walnuts), flax seeds, flaxseed oil, and leafy vegetables.

   

What makes omega-3 fats special?

They are an integral part of cell membranes throughout the body and affect the function of the cell receptors in these membranes. They provide the starting point for making hormones that regulate blood clotting, contraction and relaxation of artery walls, and inflammation. They also bind to receptors in cells that regulate genetic function. Likely due to these effects, omega-3 fats have been shown to help prevent heart disease and stroke, may help control lupus, psoriasis, eczema, and rheumatoid arthritis, and may play protective roles in cancer and other conditions.

Due to the fact that most Americans eat way too much of the omega 6-oils found in meats and most vegetable oils, they suffer a relative deficiency of omega-3 oils.   In return, this deficency can affect the conditions listed above along with many others.  

CONDITIONS BENEFITED BY FISH OIL SUPPLEMENTATION:

Allergies	Menopause	Osteoporosis	Alzheimer’s Disease
Asthma	Crohn’s Disease	Depression	Diabetes
Eczema	Psoriasis	Macular Degeneration	Arthritis
Baby Development	ADHD	Post-Partum	Migraines
Ulcerative Colitis	Cancer	High Cholesterol	AI Dx: Lupus, MS

Omega-3 fats are a key family of polyunsaturated fats. There are three main omega-3s:

• Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) come mainly from fish, so they are sometimes called marine omega-3s.
• Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), the most common omega-3 fatty acid in most Western diets, is found in vegetable oils and nuts (especially walnuts), flax seeds and flaxseed oil, leafy vegetables, and some animal fat, especially in grass-fed animals. The human body generally uses ALA for energy, and conversion into EPA and DHA is very limited.

Supplementation of Omega 3 Fatty Acids:

One of the major advances in nutritional medicine has been the ability to produce a fish oil supplement that is highly concentrated source of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids and also free from damaged fats (lipid peroxides), heavy metals, environmental contaminants, and other harmful compounds.  

I always inform my patients, how important it is to use pharmaceutical-grade fish oil concentrates which are superior to earlier fish oil products as opposed to cheaper concentrates of fish oil.  TIP: AVOID buying fish oils from drug stores such as: CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, Target, and local grocery stores.  Consult with your Alternative Medicine Expert about high-quality fish oil supplemenation.  

RECOMMENDATION FOR GENERAL HEALTH:

Take a High-Quality Fish Oil Product to Provide 1.000 mg EPA + DHA per day

5 WAYS TO BALANCE HORMONES NATURALLY

Hormones, such as estrogen and insulin, are chemical messengers that affect many aspects of your health as they travel in your bloodstream throughout your entire body. Some of the most common side effects of hormone imbalance include:

• Infertility
• Weight gain
• Depression
• Fatigue
• Insomnia
• Low libido
• Hair loss and hair thinning       

 

Glands are located throughout various parts of the human body. These glands take on the critical task of releasing hormones, and as a whole, they are most commonly referred to as the Endocrine System.  Organs and glands like your thyroid, adrenals, pituitary, ovaries, testicles and pancreas regulate most of your hormone production, and if your hormones become even slightly imbalanced it can cause major health issues.

New research shows that your gut health plays a significant role in hormone regulation so if you have leaky gut syndrome or a lack of probiotic foods lining your intestinal wall, it can also cause hormone imbalance.

The good news is there are ways to balance your 

hormones naturally.

The bad news is the majority of people across the world today turn to synthetic treatments such as hormone replacement therapy, which can do three things:

1. It makes people dependent on prescription drugs for the rest of their lives.
2. Simply masks the symptoms while you develop disease in other areas of the body.
3. Causes serious side effects by increasing your risk of stroke, osteoporosis and cancer.

If you don’t want these negative side effects but want to naturally balance your hormones, here are the 5 ways to heal your hormone.  

1. Eat Coconut Oil and Avocados:

Eating a variety of foods high in short-, medium- and long-chain fatty acids is key to keeping your hormones in check. Not only are these essential fats fundamental building blocks for hormone production, but they boost your metabolism and promote weight loss.

Foods packed with healthy fats include: coconut oil, olive oil, avocados, chia seeds, walnuts, grass-fed butter and wild-caught salmon.

Coconut oil uses are plentiful, avocado benefits hormonal balance and salmon nutrition holds many more health benefits.

2. Supplement with Adaptogen Herbs

Adaptogen herbs are a unique class of healing plants that promote hormone balance and protect the body from a wide variety of diseases.  In addition to boosting immune function and combating stress, research shows that ashwagandha and holy basil benefit hormone balance by:

• Improving thyroid function
• Lowering cholesterol naturally
• Reducing anxiety and depression
• Reducing brain cell degeneration
• Stabilizing blood sugar
• Supporting adrenal glands

3. Heal Leaky Gut

Leaky gut is a condition that not only affects your digestive tract, but also causes hormone issues and can more specifically target your thyroid.  When undigested food particles like gluten leak through your gut into your bloodstream, it causes disease-causing inflammation of the entire body and more specific organs like the thyroid.

I have seen that most people with leaky gut have an a deficiency of probiotics in their guts. Probiotics actually help your body produce certain vitamins that affect hormone levels like insulin.

The top foods and supplements that support healing leaky gut include: bone broth, kefir, fermented vegetables, and high-fiber foods like vegetables and sprouted seeds.

In addition, supplements like digestive enzymes and probiotics can aid in repairing your gut lining, which in turn can balance your hormones.   Some of the main things that damage your digestive health include processed foods, gluten, hydrogenated oils and emotional stress.

4. Recognize Toxic Chemicals in Body Care Products

A common belief among consumers is that products labeled "natural" must be safe and beneficial to consume or use. Often the ingredient lists on these "natural" products contain chemicals that are unrecognizable and unfamiliar to most people. 

The bad news is that the products that are labeled as "natural" by manufacturers are usually far from natural and safe. 

The good news is that it is possible to be an informed consumer with the information necessary to avoid these products. 

A great way to eliminate toxins in your body is to stay away from conventional body care products that are high in parabens, propylene glycol, sodium lauryl sulfate, Cocoamide DEA, diethanolamine, TEA, triethanolamine, MEA, Propylene glycol, propylene oxide, Mineral Oil, Petrolatum and Coal Tar .  Learning about these toxic chemicals is the first step toward avoiding them and this is quite simple to do, using the Internet as a tool.

In addition, the use of plastic bottles should be replaced with glass and stainless steel because of BPA toxic effects. In addition, switching from teflon pans to stainless steel, ceramic or cast iron can make a big difference in your hormonal health.

5. Know If You Have Any Nutrient Deficiency
There is overwhelming evidence that vitamin deficencies are associated with hormonal imbalances aong with the chronic disease process and the overall condition of one's health.


According to an article from the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, vitamin D3’s role in promoting human life is more profound than previously suspected.  This is why people who live in dark areas suffer from significant depression and health disorders unless they supplement.

The delicate balance of hormones is profoundly affected by nutritional defiencies.   Research shows that synthetic Hormone Replacement Therapy can negatively affect mineral levels of calcium, copper, chromium, magnesium, selenium, and zinc, which leads to unwanted side effects linked to reducing important antioxidants.

YOUR SKIN REFLECTS YOUR LIVER HEALTH #Part2

TIPS TO A HEALTHIER YOU:

* DIET: Radiant skin begins with your diet! You may be surprised to learn that what you eat can dramatically affect the condition of your skin.

Raw juices are another tool to clear the skin and I recommend you juice citrus, pear, carrot, kale, mint, basil, apple and cabbage. You can make a whole week’s supply of juice at one time and freeze it in glass jars with a lid on top immediately after making it.

* Omega 3 supplements (EPA, DHA, ALA): Sources → Fish Oil, Flaxseed, Pumpkin Seed, Walnuts

Benefits: Omega-3's are part of a group of essential fatty acids which our bodies are unable to synthesize on our own.   Consumption of omega-3 through supplementation or eating certain plants and fish is known to modulate the balance of lipid inflammatory mediators, and can thereby make a valuable contribution in the treatment of inflammatory skin disorders.

·         Omega-3's are particularly good at reducing inflammation throughout the body.

·         Inflammatory skin conditions such as acne, dermatitis, psoriasis have often greatly improve when the proper amounts and concentrations of essential fatty acids are consumed.

·         Omega-3 many contribute to reduction in the number of flare-ups as well as the severity of scaling and redness.  Supplementation usually improves skin moisture and appearance, as well as dry skin and eczema. 

 * Vitamin D-3: Source → Salmon, Tuna, Mackerel, Nuts, Eggs, Dairy foods (If no allergen present)

Benefits: Vitamin D-3, or cholecalciferol, is naturally manufactured in the skin, primarily through exposure to sunlight.  Recent research indicates there are numerous health benefits to vitamin D supplementation, supporting relief from many inflammatory ailments and medical conditions.

D-3 matches what is produced within human skin, and is much more efficiently converted by the liver to support circulating active levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D.

Vitamin D activates genes that support an immune response to foreign entities in the body.

Pro-inflammatory cytokines may be responsible for many lasting health issues. Vitamin D3 down-regulates cytokine activity and supports a healthy inflammatory response

In order to maximize the anti-inflammatory benefits of supplementation, particularly vitamin D, we recommend that you consider priming your system with this detox package, to set the stage for optimal nutrient absorption and function in the body.

* Selenium: Source → Brazil Nuts, Oysters, Tuna, Cod, Salmon, Sunflower

Benefits: Selenium is an incredibly important trace mineral that is vital to the body for proper function of various organs.   It is as a component of glutathione peroxidase, an enzyme necessary for the antioxidant function which protects against cellular damage from the free radicals that cause inflammation, aging, and promote skin cancer.

Selenium-dependent glutathione peroxidase and its effects on glutathione activity may also have a significant role in acne severity.

Selenium and vitamin E likely play complementary roles in increasing glutathione activity and reducing overall oxidative stress in the body.

1        * Vitamin E: Source  → Almonds, Hazelnuts, Sunflower, Wheat germ, Safflower, Corn

       Benefits: Vitamin E is the most abundant fat-soluble antioxidant found in the skin. It is secreted

on the skin surface through the sebum, an oily substance that coats the outer layer of the skin.  This secretion happens roughly 7 days after consumption of vitamin E-rich foods, and is an important protective factor on the skin’s surface. Plays a synergistic role with Selenium in improving glutathione levels in the body, further increasing antioxidant activity. ·         It is a potent anti-inflammatory agent, defending the skin against free radicals and reactive oxygen species that would otherwise cause damage. ·         Adequate levels in the skin may prevent inflammatory damage from sun exposure, helping to reduce the aging and skin cancer risk from excessive UV radiation. ·         It even suppresses the formation of arachidonic acid, which could help improve inflammatory skin conditions such as atopic dermatitis and psoriasis.
