let's talk about five little known facts about fish oil as a source of omega three fatty acids
e.p.a. and d h a fish oil should be your major source of the
omega three fatty acids in addition to consuming fish because it's ,the ,most
effective.
Effective way to get your EPA and d h a and it has so many
beneficial effects that are crucial to your overall health so I make fish oil
as a source of omega s. a primary component of my wheat belly and undoubted
programs so the first little known fact is that one of the most beneficial
effects of ,omega ,fatty ,acids ,from fish ball.
Is that they subdue the postprandial rise in the type of
proteins let me tell what that means when you consume a meal you flood your
bloodstream with. breakdown product from that meal so the blood is flooded by
these particles typically Kyle microns and Vlad well these particles ,can
,contribute ,to heart disease.
among other effects blocking insulin for instance causing
insulin resistance so the big rise in color macrons early after digestion and
then later. surge in Vlad a very low density like proteins rich with fat. can
cause heart disease but the omega fatty acids subdue the rise of both quite a
bit in fact one of the reasons why is omega fatty acids have been.
shown to activate the enzyme Li protein Li apse that lines
the arteries of your body and accelerates the clearance of these particles so. especially
Vlad and so there is a subdued effect of a post brandy particles by fiscal
which contributes to a reduction in heart disease risk. another little known
fact is that it's the d h a primarily that provides you with preservation of
brain health ,protection from cognitive impairment.
such as occurs in the various forms of dementia like Alzheimer’s
dementia well that's important to know because there's a prescription form of
fish oil that contains no d h a. and that means if you were prescribed this
prescription form of fish oil you'd have to take fish oil to get the cognitive
preserving effects that's kind of stupid isn't it.
if you if you take a preparation it only has EPA if you want
the brain health preserving effects of fish oil you have to take fish oil on
top of that EPA which is kind of stupid isn't it. why not just take fish oil
that contains both at a sufficient dose. another fact most people don't know
about how did primitive humans obtain omega three fatty acids after all they're
essential if you don't have any omega three fatty acids ,in your life.
you'll develop a very severe deficiency syndrome and then die
die of some peculiar disease so humans need omega three fatty acids ,but ,had
primitive humans obtained. well if the primitive culture was coastal or marine
they would eat fish and shellfish and they get plenty of omega through fatty
acids but plenty of human ,populations ,didn't have ready access.
to marine life to fish and shellfish they lived in and maybe
didn't want to walk the twenty five or fifty miles to the nearest ah ocean or
lake. maybe they get their water from a small stream or something like that so
how did they get their omega three fatty essays they ate the brains of animals
that makes modern people very squeamish because we live in an age.
we don't eat liver or heart or tongue or brain but you know
what your grandmother or great grandmother was very comfortable with that if
they're still around ask them. and those of course we ate it if you watch the
behavior primitive humans who are still hunters and gatherers you'll see they
readily the liver sometimes raw they eat the intestinal tract.
sometimes raw and they eat the brain which is soft and
apparently very digestible but most modern people have become so squeamish in
our surrounded wrap microwavable serve through a drive through windows sort of
existence. that the idea of consuming brain is just off. off the chart
disgusting for most people so what we do of course is we do the second or third
best which is take facial capsules and or consume some fish.
another little known fact about omega through fatty as an
official is that it's very helpful for a ,genetic ,pattern ,called ,Li protein
a..
lip protein is a genetic variant it tends to occur in people
who are very slender very athletic tend to engage in long term physical
activities like long distance running. long distance swimming long distance
biking these people oddly tend to be very good with numbers so a lot of people
with like the protein a tend to be accountants analysts.
electrical engineers mathematicians physicists people are
very very good with numbers these people are also very tolerant to periods of food
deprivation and water deprivation now think about that. these people love long
distance running are very smart are tolerant to deprivation I think leopard
protein is a survival advantage so i call people like ,a ,protein ,a ,perfect
.carnivores.
these are people who would thrive in the wild where you're
competing with other predators you're competing to get prey and I think the SE
people are better at surviving. and in fact leopard protein a has been enriched
in human population the downside however is that people with lip protein are
much ,more ,prone to cardiovascular disease.
of heart attacks and strokes it's not uncommon to see
families or heart attacks for instance cluster in the males in their thirties
sometimes in forties and fifties and the females in their fifties ,and sixties.
s so it's an aggressive cardiovascular risk factor now wait a minute why would
it be a survival advantage in some settings and a survival disadvantage with
excess risk for cutting ,vascular ,disease in other settings.
a modern setting here's my theory yet to be proven but this
plays out very well in practical life and that is ,despite being a survival
advantage. living in a modern world where we're exposed to grains rich in e.
limo ,peck ,and ,a .and sugars.
so these are long distance exercising slender people who you
would think would be very resistant to type two diabetes and insulin resistance
and those kinds of things well ,these people despite being. fit and slender are
extremely susceptible to the effects of grains and sugars so you can have let's
say a a male who's five foot eleven and one hundred and forty pounds which is
very skinny right very .slender.
and this person can have diabetic blood sugars from eating
grains and sugars despite being slender and fit so they are susceptible like
all of us are to the envelope pectin a of grains it raises blood sugar and
insulin. and to other forms of sugar but they're more susceptible than other
people and so these people develop heart disease sooner than other people
because they the ,the exposure to.
Emily peck and a and sugars provoke formation wild formation
of small L D L particles that cause heart disease as well as influence
,resistance ,and ,high blood sugars. now one of the most powerful strategies
for lip protein is to take a high dose of omega three fatty acids from fisher
I've been doing this for about fifteen years and it's proven very very
effective.
we have preliminary evidence that this does indeed work but
we've been putting it to work in a practical way and it seems to really offer
people with this genetic pattern like a protein advantage so ,we ,use ,six
,thousand milligrams. of EPA and d h a even though i advocate most people take
thirty six hundred milligrams of EPA and d h a per day divided in two doses by
the way if you think you might have leopard protein because you fit that kind
of bill ,of ,a ,slender intelligent.
tolerant of food water deprivation kind of person and a clustering
of heart disease in your family it's just a blood test get an n m r lip protein
panel and add a lip protein a. you don't only need to check it once. is a
genetically determined pattern we don't try to reduce it we simply try to
reduce the associated abnormalities that bring out the heart disease causing
potential leopard protein.
ah high v. l d l particles insulin resistance and some other factors.
another little known fact just how do we know how much fish oil and thereby
omega three fatty acids you really need well one thing you don't want to do is
follow the instructions on ,the bottle.
that's nonsense information has no basis in reality well one
of the ways to be guided in knowing how much e p a and d h a to get is by
checking a blood test and you don't have to do this this is i'm ,just ,telling
,you how this. blood test guides us in knowing how much people should take.
the blood test is called an r b c omega three index it
measures the amount of fatty acids occupied by EPA and d h a in the red blood cell
membrane. because the fatty acids in the red blood cell memory reflect what's
in other cell membranes throughout the body so we know that the average
american who doesn't get much in the way of omega three fatty acids except for
,maybe ,occasional ,fishing.
consumption or a little bit of the limited acid from flax seed
or china or walnuts gets converted to the omega fatty acids but only a little
bit does get converted. and so most modern Americans have a level of omega
fatty acid about two to three percent likewise vegetarians ,don't ,consume
,fish ,or shellfish.
tend to also have very low levels they can try to amp up
their intake by doing such things as eating more flax seed and cheese and
walnuts but the conversion of Lynnette acid to e p a d h a so low as to not be.
of ,that helpful. now the evidence supporting higher levels of r b c omega three
indexes come from observational evidence now we have to be careful when we look
at observational evidence because sometimes ,observational ,evidence is not
very.
solid not very reliable but in this case because there's a greater effect it tends to support the idea that there really is a cause effect relationship despite being only. observational evidence so we know that people who have an r b c omega index and about six percent are higher so much ,higher ,than ,the ,average american.
