Omega 3 Oils like DHA are Needed to Maintain Health

Thursday, June 04, 2009 - Byron J. Richards, CCN

The fatty acids in the American food supply have steadily changed over the past 100 years, resulting in five to ten times less omega 3 oils in our diets compared to much of our evolution.  A new controlled study in healthy people has shown that eating higher levels of omega 3 oils turns down inflammatory gene signals.

This study is important because it is done in healthy people.  It is safe to say that the lack of omega 3 oils is a form of stress.  When you are younger and healthier you may be able to tolerate it somewhat – but why have it at all?  It is pointless to push your body into a needless state of wear and tear simply from a basic dietary deficiency.

I explain the nature of omega 3 oils and how much you need for basic health in my article, DHA, Krill Oil & Green-Lipped Mussel – Which is Best?
