hi guys dr. Berg here in this short

video we’re gonna talk about omega-3s

okay omega-3 fatty acids are essential

fatty acids which means they must be

gotten from the diet your body can’t

make these fats okay

real simply there’s DHA good for the

brain the eye and the heart

okay so DHA what is like food for the

brain especially and because the eye is

an extension of the brain it’s good for

that too and as well as the heart you

can get it from fish fish oils here a

vegan algae eggs pasture-raised Organic

of course grass-fed beef and there’s

quite a few other foods but DHA is

really important if you have any type of

dementia or memory issues okay then you

have EPA now that’s good for the eye the

heart and it’s a great anti-inflammatory

but it’s also good for other things as

well but these are the main things right

here you’d get it from the same thing

fish fish oil fatty fish by the way

algae pasteurized eggs grass-fed beef

alright and then there’s something

called ala that’s good for the heart

cognitive function the brain and it’s a

good anti-inflammatory so you would get

this essential fatty acid from flax Chia

and walnut there’s other things as well

but these are the ones that have higher

amounts the problem is that when you buy

the oils and you expose this delicate

oil to oxygen it oxidizes really fast it

goes rancid really fast the best thing

to do is to grind it yourself or consume

some high quality oil that is in a dark

bottle that’s really really fresh now

there is some data out there that this

fatty acid will convert to epa and DHA

but only 0.1 to 0.5% it’s less than 1%

so if your body is stressed or sick in

any way you’re not going to convert this

fat into these at all so just make sure

that you’re getting all your omega-3 if

you’re a vegetarian get it from the

algae but

also make sure you get the AL ed from

flax or Chia or walnuts all right
