The Importance of Omega-3's

The Dietary Change You Must Make Now

One of the most important health goals you can set for yourself today will take you less than a minute to do each day. And, it can dramatically reduce your risk of heart disease, cancer, and diabetes.

It can help you lose weight, strengthen your immune system, and slow down the aging process.

It can reduce pain and inflammation in your body.

It can also improve your brain function, reduce your risk of Alzheimer's, and even help you avoid or overcome depression.

I'm talking about making a decision to supplement your diet with fish oil every day in order to help balance the ratio of omega-3 fatty acids to omega-6 fatty acids in your diet.

In an ideal world each of us would consume these essential fats in roughly equal amounts. However, the typical American diet includes 20 times more omega-6 fats.

This is a prescription for disaster.

To achieve the proper ratio, avoid foods that contain vegetable oils. How do you do that? Read the labels ... they're in almost all processed foods.

You should also avoid conventionally raised meats (like grain-fed beef), which have an unnaturally high amount of omega-6 fats. At the same time, increase your omega-3s by taking fish oil (not flax oil).

I can think of very few things that will impact your long-term health and reduce your risk of disease more than adopting this simple, but highly important, change.

God bless you,
