1. Nine Different Sorts of Omega 3 Supplements September 04, 2008 The most important and overlooked essential fatty acids that are lacking in our modern diets are the Omega 3 essential fatty acids EPA, DHA and DPA. The essential fatty acid Omega 3 works in tandem with Omega 6, however a balance of 1:1 is required for optimal performance. Our modern diets of processed foods and oils are already so high in Omega 6 that the minimal intake of Omega 3 from eating fatty fish such as salmon and tuna barely has an influence on changing the balance of Omega 3:Omega 6, which some doctors are saying can be anywhere from 1:20 to 1:60. In order to get the balance into a ... (read more) Author: David Leonhardt

5. The Symptoms of Acid Reflux Disease June 23, 2008 The symptoms of acid reflux disease are as follows: heartburn, which is characterized by chest pain; inflammation in the mucosa; difficulty in swallowing; cough and hoarseness. These symptoms are felt by the infected person after eating a fatty meal or drinking liquor, when bending, and worse when constantly smoking. Acid reflux disease is primarily caused by the malfunction of the esophageal sphincter. If there is insufficient supply of the stomach acid, the valve in the stomach responsible for churning up foods to the intestine does not open up. Some of the factors that can trigger acid...

6. Improve Your Diet, Understand Good Fats and Help Your Asthma June 10, 2008 Researchers now suggest that the epidemic of childhood asthma is associated with a change in the omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acid ratio in the diet. It used to be around 5:1, (omega 6 to omega 3) but is now closer to 15:1. The researchers found that children who regularly consumed fresh, oily fish (such as mullet, orange roughy, Atlantic salmon or rainbow trout which contains more than two per cent fat) had a four times lower risk of developing asthma than did children who rarely or never ate oily fish. Researchers now report that supplementation with fish oil has shown to reduce asthma symp... (read more) Author: Dianne M. Buxton

7. Anti-aging Nutrition and Alzheimer's Research June 03, 2008 UCLA scientists have confirmed that fish oil is a deterrent against Alzheimer's. Many Alzheimer's researchers have stated that fish oil, whether taken in the diet from salmon, tuna, mackeral or other fish, or by nutritional supplementation, is an easily available and inexpensive food that may delay or prevent this degenerative disease. DHA is the omega-3 fatty acid (docosahexaenoic acid) found in fish oil. DHA increases the production of a protein called LR11.

18. Dietary Approach - Chapter 11 April 01, 2008 The goal of achieving optimal fatty acid nutrition must be approached by altering the fatty acid composition of the day-to-day meal pattern. If the diet is high in saturated fats, more of the positions on the glycerol backbones will be taken up by saturated fats. If the diet is high in omega-6 fats or hydrogenated fats, more of the positions will be taken up by those fatty acids. If one can begin to increase the consumption of known health-enhancing fats, then the triglyceride and phospholipid pool will convert. This will in turn exert beneficial effects on membrane physiology and provide prec... (read more) Author: Wysong Corporation

19. The Need To Change Lipid Nutriture - Chapter 10 April 01, 2008 THE ESKIMO EVIDENCE There is a variety of persuading evidence that the fatty acid content of modern human and domesticated animal diets should be altered. The ability of fish oils to affect cardiovascular disease has recently become widely known. However, this is not new. It originally came to light more than 35 years ago.1,2 Epidemiological studies of Greenland Eskimos demonstrated a low incidence of cardiovascular disease compared to Western nations. A component of fish oil has subsequently been linked to this preventive action by some investigators. Since Eskimos, on their native diets, ar... (read more) Author: Wysong Corporation

20. Broad Health Effects - Chapter 9 April 01, 2008 Alteration of the fatty acid content of the diet has much potential beyond just cardiovascular and inflammatory effects. The scientific literature is unveiling new diseases that may be altered, cured, or prevented with fatty acid therapy. The list includes arthritis, cancer, lupus and other autoimmunities, headaches, hypertension, endotoxemia, muscular sclerosis, psoriasis, diabetes, gallstones, and more.1, 2 Increasing the more fluid and dynamic omega-3 levels in the body and decreasing the more stiff and static saturated fats has many biological implications. Lipids are ubiquitous in me... (read more) Author: Wysong Corporation

21. Atherogenesis - Chapter 8 April 01, 2008 The putative ability of fish oils to affect cardiovascular health has focused considerable attention on lipid nutriture. Investigations of societies consuming high levels of omega-3 and -9 oils as well as both prospective and retrospective scientific studies have demonstrated the increasing importance of dietary fats.1-6 Complex mechanisms have been theorized but ultimately hinge on eicosanoid synthesis pathways. Fatty acids and other lipid substances such as cholesterol found within the circulation and as a part of the endothelial lining of blood vessels and their smooth muscle coat, and with...

22. Lipids In Inflammation - Chapter 6 April 01, 2008 Inflammation is a broad term describing the body's reaction to injury. It is a necessary process enabling defense against toxins and pathogens, protection against further damage, and repair of tissue. However, if the inflammatory process proceeds beyond that which is necessary to heal, it can become a disease in itself. Runaway inflammation underlies allergic reactions and certain other self-destructive diseases such as arthritis, the cycle of atherogenesis, and some dermatologic disorders. The use of essential fatty acids in the diet has long been known to exert a beneficial effect on th... (read more) Author: Wysong Corporation

23. Fatty Acid Pathways - Chapter 5 April 01, 2008 Fatty acids exist in the body primarily as triglycerides and phospholipids. Phospholipids make up the bilipid membrane of cells and the membranes of organelles within the cytoplasm. Fatty acids are split from the triglyceride glycerol backbone and broken down into carbon fragments which are then oxidized to provide energy. Usually, just the 16 carbon fatty acids or shorter are metabolized in this fashion. [ Fatty Acid Break Down Image ] http://www.wysong.net/articles/lipid/figures/figure13a.jpg Fatty acids 16 carbons and longer from the omega-3 and -6 families can undergo the format...

24. Essential Fatty Acids - Chapter 4 April 01, 2008 For the most part, organisms can satisfy their own fatty acid needs. In mammals, however, those enzymes which insert double bonds into the chains of fatty acids cannot insert them into the omega-3 and omega-6 positions. Linoleic and linolenic acid contain omega-6 and 3 bonds and are necessary for mammalian metabolism. These two fatty acids are there­fore essential fatty acids (EFA) and must be supplied by the diet. Variations among species and within species occur in terms of what is or is not essential and at what levels. For example, the cat is limited in its ability to synthesize ara­c...

25. Lipid Digestion - Chapter 3 April 01, 2008 Most natural whole foods have inherent enzymes capable of completely or partially digesting lipids if the enzymes are not destroyed through heat and processing. This widely underestimated value of whole, raw, fresh foods has been by and large ignored. A common argument against the value of inherent food enzymes is the presumed inhospitability of the gastrointestinal tract to all complex proteins. In other words, it is argued that enzymes within the food would simply be broken down into individual amino acids and would not have a chance to effect their enzymatic action which depends upon i...
