let’s talk about the first sign of  a vitamin f deficiency now you’re  

probably going what is vitamin f right  well in past times there was a vitamin f  

but now we don’t call it vitamin f because it  doesn’t really fit the traditional definition of a  

true vitamin which is kind of an isolated compound  coming from nature but vitamin f really is  

the combination of two essential fatty acids  and the definition of essential in this context  

means that it must come from your diet your body  can’t make it okay the same thing with essential  

amino acids those are amino acids that must be  gone from the diet because your body can’t make  

them versus a non-essential amino acid which your  body can make okay so these essential fatty acids  

are two one is an omega-3 fatty acid and the  other is omega-6 fatty acid the omega-3 is ala  

alpha linolenic acid and the omega-6 which is  la linoleic acid now these are two essential  

fats that you need in every single organ of your  body they help you absorb calcium they’re both  

very important components in cell structure in  cell flexibility and in cell growth now the big  

problem with these essential fatty acids is in  the ratio that we consume them in the western diet  

we consume 10 to 20 times more omega-6 fatty  acids than we do omega-3 the ideal ratio would be  

like two to one or even one to one not  twenty to one okay when this ratio becomes  

so far out of balance you’re going to start  developing all sorts of problems with your cells  

and the first sign or symptom would be dry and  flaky skin so if you have dry flaky skin just  

realize you’re doing too many omega-6 fatty acids  to your omega-3 fatty acids so you want to cut  

those down and start consuming more like cod liver  oil or fish oil and not the other oils like corn  

oil soy oil which are hidden in a lot of different  foods i’m going to put a link down below for more  

information on that there’s other problems as  well like prostate enlargement inflammation  

problems with your vision problems with the heart  problems with your brain like memory problems  

so the key is to really get these ratios if you  want to get these ratios you can start consuming  

certain foods i’m going to list them right here  avocados have a really good ratio of these fats  

any leafy greens have the right ratios almonds  walnuts have the right amounts sprouts of any  

seeds have good ratios chia seed sunflower  seed olive oil make sure it’s the real thing  

fish especially fatty fish have the best ratios  and eggs so we really get in trouble when we start  

doing like fried foods junk foods fast food and  start using the salad dressing with all the soy  

oil and there’s literally thousands of foods at  the grocery store with corn oil and canola oil and  

and cottonseed oil in many different forms that  you need to start avoiding so start to evaluate  

your foods from the standpoint of these two  essential fatty acids to make sure you’re getting  

the right ratios ideally they should be one-to-one  hey before you go if you’re benefiting from any of
