hi guys in this video we’re going to

talk about omega-6 fatty acids and

inflammation now as you may not know or

you may now omega-6 basically will

increase your inflammation omega-3 fatty

acids decrease inflammation or

anti-inflammatory okay now in America

the ratio is 1 to 20 omega-6 in other

words people consume way way more

omega-6 then omega-3 okay ideally it

needs to be 1 to 1 and what does that

mean I mean it tells us what we need to

be eating because look at these are the

omega-6 fatty acid foods poultry nuts

vegetable oils like corn oil grains flax

oil pumpkin seed oil canola soybean

cottonseed sunflower

but you know some of these here do have

Omega 3 but they’re heavier on the

omega-6 fatty acid so these will tend to

create more inflammation if you don’t

have these right here fish oils cod

liver oil

sardines fish anchovies grass-fed eggs

aggressive beef beef things like that or

even some dairy so basically we want to

balance these out now the problem is

like flax oil for example can convert to

omega-3 DHA which is a certain type of

essential fatty acid but it only

converts in smaller amounts so one thing

is animal food or fish has a lot more

bioavailable omega-3 DHA and EPA those

are very specific types of fats then

these other ones because the other ones

have to convert so it’s harder for your

body to convert like grains or even flax

oil or sunflower to the thing that you

really need so again here’s this like

something that you want to if you want

to know what would be the ideal food

that we need you know just look at

what’s out there and what’s absorbed and

apparently our diets our bodies were

designed to consume some of these foods

right here now the problem with

soils especially if you buy it at

probably these that you know at the

local grocery store you’re going to get

in bulk you’re going to get a low

quality fish oil it’s probably going to

be Rance it’s probably worse than not

have anything at all so I would not

recommend consuming inexpensive fish oil

what I do recommend is going out

investing more in something like virgin

cod liver oil something very raw and

fresh it is more expensive but it really

works

now sardines are really good you can

even get the benefits from the can but

see the larger fish like shark or

swordfish are higher in mercury but it

just so happens that a lot of these fish

and even the collar oil are very very

high in a trace mineral called selenium

and the relationship between selenium

and mercury is interesting mercury tends

to inactivate the enzymes that have

selenium that make them up so that’s why

you want to consume some of these higher

quality fish oils especially the cod

liver oil to get more selenium to be

able to do dismantle any mercury that’s

in there so basically more selenium the

less mercury effect that you’ll have on

the body and it just so happens the

other thing that has a lot of selenium

is wheatgrass juice especially the kamut

I added in the recent when I added a

little kamut in there which is 25% kamut

which is a type of wheatgrass which is

loaded with selenium which is a really

good mineral to support the enzymes that

have detoxifying powers on the liver if

you have inflammation in your body you

just need to start increasing the

omega-3 fatty acids go with quality I

suggest you get the cod liver oil get

the wild-caught cod liver oil that was

probably the best but you can also do

some of these other things too and make

sure that we balance these two right

here all right thanks for watching hey
