Guest guest Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 Until you address the Omega 3 to Omega 6 ratio in the diet and more importantly in your cell membranes, you will feel like constant crap. Take a good hard look at what you are eating and what your ratio of Omega 3 to Omega 6 is in your diet. The western diet is 20:1 Omega 6 to Omega 3 where is should be 1:1. So if your cell membranes are stuffed full of Omega 6 and trans fats, taking all the pills in the world isn't going to make you feel any better or have more energy. Elevated Omega 6 will tend your body towards inflamation because the ecosanoids produced are the inflamatory prosteglandins. The cell membranes are not fluid when the ratios are wrong. The red cells don't flow as well through the capillaries because they are more rigid, white cells don't get into the tissue spaces as effectively, signaling through the cell membrane is sluggish, becoming refractory to insulin is a common result. The membrane's proteins don't pump ions as well, you get a poor seperation of charge and a dropped cellular electrical potential. The cells becomes less efficient at energy utilization, there's less transport in and out of good and bad elements, the environment becomes acidic and you now have set the conditions for disease. Chronic infection, diabetis, heart disease, cancer, chronic fatigue, auto immunity, you name it. If you don't start here, you're never getting out of the health issue hole that you've dug for yourself. The more attractive your internal environment is for the bad bugs, the more you are going to attract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
