How often do you change the oil in your car? If you care about your car, you do it on a regular basis, right? You drain out the dirty oil, and you replace it with clean oil.
When
Fat consumption figures are based on the fatty acid content of oil sources in their natural state. They cannot give accurate correlations between LA nutrition and disease trends, for instance, because these figures fail to show how much LA
30% of our adult population is chronically constipated. Constipation leads to many other problems: hemorrhoids, varicose veins, toxin reabsorption, bad breath, liver damage, and even aneurisms from straining. Most constipation has one of three nutritional causes that can be
Omega 3s serve as building materials for series 3 prostaglandins, some of which help our kidneys get rid of excess water held in tissues. The excess weight of some overweight people is largely retained water (edema). Omega 3s help
An average adult U.S. male eats about 2.7 kg (5.9 pounds) of food per day. Less than 1000 calories, which usually result in weight loss, are contained in 2.7 kg of broccoli but over 10,800 calories, which must result in
How can we change the fat content of our body? To increase the amount of w3 EFAs in our fat tissue, which is desirable for both beauty (they make skin soft and velvety) and health (they decrease our risk of
The fatty acids profile of body fat can vary greatly as a direct consequence of differing contents of saturated, monounsaturated, and essential fatty acids (EFAs) in different diets. The percentages of linoleic acid (LA, 18:2w6) and alpha-linolenic acid (LNA, 18:3w3)
Our body’s fat content tends to increase with age, although this is not inevitable. Old natives of South Sea Islands are as slim as their young, and as active and child- like. Their use of unrefined foods, active life-style, simplicity,
Next to water, which makes up about 70% of the total weight of a human adult, and 84% of that of a newborn infant, fat is the most abundant substance found in our body. We may not like that, but
Plants make enzymes that ‘insert’ a double bond into (desaturate) fatty acids at positions w3 and w6 to make w3 and w6 fatty acids, but humans do not produce these enzymes. This means that LA and ALA are not essential
