Do you have an Omega deficiency?

Omegas for Gut Health and Healing

Secondly, so many will share we need them and why but the other question is which ones do I take? Who do you listen to?

Thirdly begs the question, why am I have an omega deficiency especially if I take omegas supplements or eat foods that contain omegas?

Essential…yes, the body does not produce them so you must get them from an outside source.
Valuable…you make that judgement. Many people say we need them and they are essential.
BIG value…just look at all the symptoms/afflictions happening today, and if there is any grain of truth about the role of EFAs what are your options for getting them.

How many do you have? Even one of the above would indicate an omega deficiency or imbalance. Omegas are vital for the health of the gut which appears to be present in all of the above.  Why?

Cell Membrane

For what science knows today, essential fatty acids or omegas is part of every cell membrane. You have trillion of cells. These cells continuously turn over to make new cells or a new you over a year or so. Cells make the organs work which make the systems (ie. Nervous System) work. Try fitting through a door that is opened one inch. The door will not budge. These membranes control what goes in and out of the cell like your house door would for those coming and going. Put in the wrong fats and the doors do not work well.

Inflammation

For every disease, symptom, ache, pain, injury, infection, there is an inflammatory component which only seems like a logical reaction because the immune system is participating. But what happens when you do not manage the inflammation? Chronic inflammation occurs and the body starts to display ongoing symptoms, discomforts, etc. which may lead to such diseases like cancer. This is a state of Fungation where the cells are not surviving on oxygen, from aerobic to anaerobic.

Brain

1:1 Ratio Omega-3 to Omega-6

For every function and reaction in your body, the brain plays a role.  Each nerve in your body relies on Omega 3.  So how valuable is Omega 3?

Balance is Vital.  The current going ratio is 1:1 Omega 6 to Omega 3.  Vegetable seed oils like sunflower, etc. and fish oils are usually naturally higher in Omega 6.  Flax oil is slightly higher in Omega 3 but there is still one factor that may be in the way. How much of it has is being converted?  Click here for more Omega 3 information.

How to Balance.  Your choices: plant (must be converted – many conditions like diabetes, obesity, digestive disorders will interfere), fish oils (different molecular structure – like a square peg in a round hole), and/or mammalian oils (mid 1990’s seal oil discovery by Memorial University.)

If omegas (EFAs) are not at the top of your list for good health, keep on learning and only by experience will you fully understand the benefits for you.

Champion for your better health…

Before the age of 20, it never dawned on me that what I chose to put in my mouth would have such a dramatic effect on my wellbeing.

On my path of discovery, I learned that our eating choices directly affected how much energy we have first thing in the morning or that it would build our immune system strength during flu season.  I came to understand how gentle nutritional cleansing directly helped overcome my health challenges. People keep telling me how beautiful my skin is or how I look younger.

As my studies continued, it became obvious that there is an intrinsic connection between the mind, body and spirit which directly affects our health and happiness.  I learned that Omegas are another critical piece of the wellness puzzle. I became convinced when the Auum omegas alone turned on some switches in my brain in just one day.

I have developed a deep appreciation for the wonderful miracle workers our bodies are in the recovery process.  Our bodies have a natural intelligence.  I am passionate to share the connection between nutrition and wellness in my practice and my presentations.
