Se você fica doente com facilidade, são grandes as chances de estar com a imunidade baixa. Os sintomas de um sistema imunológico debilitado são resfriados e gripes frequentes, ou pequenas infecções que se tornam mais sérias. Uma das melhores formas de melhorar a sua imunidade é ingerir alimentos com nutrientes que já demonstraram melhorar o desempenho das defesas naturais do corpo, ou seja, que ativam o seu sistema imunológico.

omega 3 is a family of unsaturated fatty acids having carbon-carbon double bond in n-3 form. Most of the important nutritionally fatty acids of omega 3 are α-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) which are polyunsaturated. Consumers should know the fact that human body is not able to synthesize omega 3 and the n-3 fatty acids termed as de novo instead of that aids in the formation of twenty carbon unsaturatedn-3 fatty acids .

Consumers should understan the concept that both n-3 linolenic acid adn n-6 linoleic acid of omega 3 are most important nutrients obtained from the food. Basically the omega 3 this n-3 fatty acids produced from linolenic acid in the body which is quite slow in comparison to n-6 analogues. Which is not an adverse situation but consumers should understand that accumulation of long chained n-3 fatty acids in the tissues is presently found to be more effctive when obtained directly from the food and if in ca se the lev el of n-6 analogues do not overtakes n-3 .

Several reports which supports that long chain omega 3 fatty acids like dha and epa omega 3 are essential for heart ailments. So the eskimos are famous for consuming large amount of omega 3 fatty acids as aids in the reduciton of triglycerides, heart rate, antherosclerosis and blood pressure. Most of the nations supports consumption of omega 3 such as c anadian government supports the usage of dha omega 3 allowing the usage of dha in common public. In the human body omega 3 fatty acid plays an essential role in the development of eyes, brain, and nerves.

Whether you are looking to bulk up, tone up or lose fat!  Fats form an important part of all of our diets.

Fats, or lipids, are molecules that the body uses in many different ways. Fats supply immediate energy, transport nutrients including vitamins, and play a key role in normal growth and development. The body cannot do without fat.

 It is important however, not to eat too much fat. High intakes of fat are linked with many health problems and can lead to overweight.

 Current guidelines suggest that women should eat no more than 70g of fat per day, and men no more than 95g. This equates to about 30% of calories coming from fats.

 Types of fat

 Some fats are far better for our health than others. Food labels often break down the fat present in food into the different types for example:

                                                         Per 100g              Per serving

Fat                                                        22.6g                           3.6g

Of which

Saturates                                                 9.8g                           1.6g

Monounsaturates                                       8.2g                           1.3g

Polyunsaturates                                         4.6g                           0.7g

 As shown above, there are 3 main types of fat – saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated. Most foods contain a mixture of all 3.

 THE BADS

 Saturated – includes hard fats like lard, butter, fat on meat, pasties and take always, Trans Fats (Hydrogenated Vegetable Oils) – includes vegetable oils that have been treated to make them hard and are found in pastry, cakes and biscuits.

 These should be fats you avoid and no more than 1/3 of your fat intake should come from these fats.

 THE GOODS

 Unsaturated fats / oils - the healthier fats found generally in plant foods such as fruit, seeds, nuts and vegetables.  These are split into polyunsaturated fats that include sunflower, sesame and soya oils and monounsaturated fats that include olive oil.

 Omega 3 fats – these are a group of unsaturated fats called ‘essential fatty acids’ that cannot be made in the body in sufficient quantities. Oily fish such as sardines, salmon, pilchards and mackerel are excellent sources. These fats keep our hearts healthy and offer many other health benefits as well.

 Getting the Balance Right

 Extremely low fat diets are not healthy because they limit the amount of fat soluble vitamins and essential fatty acids in our diet which are necessary for all round health.

High fat diets are also unhealthy as they tend to lead to high calorie consumption (each gram of fat contains 9 calories) which leads to being overweight and may increase the risk of high cholesterol and heart disease.

 By reducing the unhealthy saturated fats in the diet and replacing them with healthier unsaturated fats, we will be getting a much better balance for our health.

Først var det bare tran som gjaldt, siden kom fiskeoljen og seloljen, og nå tilslutt krillen. Alle hevder å inneholde omega-3 fettsyrer med "dokumenterte effekter" i massevis. Forvirret? Ja, det er ikke noe rart!

Her er noen fakta:

Først, når vi snakker om omega-3 fettsyrene er det hovedsaklig EPA og DHA fra marine kilder vi snakker om. Kroppen vår er dårlig til å danne disse selv, og de må derfor inntas gjennom kosten, dvs gjennom fet fisk og tran.

Tran – torskeleverolje, dvs fett fra leveren til torsken. Denne oljen inneholder omega-3 fettsyrene EPA og DHA i en konsentrasjon på ca 25%. Fettsyrene er bundet i såkalte triglycerider. Tran selges hovedsaklig i flytende form, da den er vanskelig å konsentrere opp. En god del av forskningen på omega-3 fettsyrenes helseeffekter er gjort vha tran. Norske myndigheter anbefaler tran til alle fra 4-6 uker alder og livet ut! Se www.shdir.no, www.mollers.no

Fiskeolje – fettet fra kjøttet på fet småfisk som sardiner, ansjos og brisling. Denne oljen brukes hovedsaklig i kapselprodukter fordi den kan konsentreres opp til å få relativt mye omega-3 i en kapsel. I likhet med tran, finnes fettsyrene bundet i triglycerider. Fiskeolje brukes også som tilsetning i feks brød. Det aller meste av forskningen rundt omega-3 fettsyrenes helseeffekter er gjort vha fiskeolje.

Selolje – fett fra spekket på selen.  Selolje inneholder mindre DHA og mer DPA (dokosapentaensyre) enn fiskeolje. Noen studier er gjort på selolje og leddsmerter, se www.nifes.no. Man tror at omega-3 fettsyrene i selolje er lettere tilgjengelig for komponenter involvert i betennelse enn omega-3 fettsyrene i fiskeolje, men her trengs det mye mer forskning!

Krill – en gruppe rekelignende virvelløse dyr. De inneholder omega-3 fettsyrer hvorav en stor andel er bundet som fosfolipider. I tillegg inneholder den antioksidanten asthaxanthin. Krill har de senere årene slått seg voldsomt opp som den "nye generasjonen omega-3". Det hevdes i solid markedsføring at fettsyrenes binding som fosfolipider kan påvirke positivt hvordan kroppen tar opp og utnytter disse fettsyrene. Se feks www.superba.no. Er så denne så mye bedre enn de andre? Neppe! Men, jeg lover å revurdere min påstand dersom det gjøres solid og grundig forskning som viser det motsatte.

Enn så lenge nyter jeg min skje med sitrontran i forvissning om  jeg iallefall gjør én ting riktig for helsa mi.

Vendiendo pescado en la farmacia. 

El pasado 5 de noviembre el sector farmacéutico en Austria, puso en marcha una iniciativa que, algunos, denominan “pionera”.
Con el fin de promocionar los beneficios que tienen para la salud los elevados niveles de ácidos grasos omega-3, que previenen las enfermedades cardiovasculares y que posee la “trucha ártica”, el sector farmacéutico austriaco comenzó a vender este pescado ahumado a sus clientes.

En concreto la pionera fue la farmacia de Valeri Odelga en la ciudad de Jundenburg. ¿Fué un éxito o se trata de una iniciativa fuera de lugar? A esta pregunta hay que responderla por los resultados obtenidos, ya que Valeri fue la primera sorprendida al afirmar que: “En los primeros tres días vendimos el stock previsto para todo un mes”.

Apenas una semana después ya eran doce las farmacias que ofrecían trucha ártica a sus clientes, su precio, suponemos que no se diferenciaría del de su establecimiento lógico de venta y, por supuesto, este pescado queda excluído de la lista de “medicamentos” cubiertos por la Seguridad Social, como afirmó Nicole Fritzl. “Pero tampoco se requiere prescripción médica”, añadió.

La compañía que proporciona este pescado a las farmacias austríacas planea expandir su iniciativa al norte de Italia y Eslovenia el año próximo.

It’s the “most wonderful time of the year” — and depression is rampant. Between the darkness (if you live in the northern hemisphere), family drama, financial stresses… it’s a time when many people find their mood going in an unhappy direction. Here are some tangible tips for feeling better.

1. Exercise.
Depression by definition diminishes most motivation. But getting off the couch can make a remarkable difference in your emotional resilience. Exercise literally changes not only the chemicals being made in your brain, but also how well those chemicals work. It doesn’t have to be intense and it doesn’t have to be very much. Just starting will help those clouds lift.

2. Get some sun.
The winter’s lack of light makes lots of people low. The effect isn’t new — it’s been described since the 1800s. These days there’s a name for it, complete with cute acronym: seasonal affective disorder, or SAD.

Adding light can help. Outdoor, natural daylight is best, especially in the morning. But many companies also sell light boxes that researchers find really do help — even for summertime depression.

Scientific research all over the map supports this. An October 2009 study in the Archives of General Psychiatry reported that a Mediterranean-style diet reduced depression in addition to its well-known heart and anti-cancer benefits. They found that fruits, nuts, beans and fat from fish and olive oil all helped beat the blues.

Filling up with fresh fruits and veggies also has another happy side effect: reducing your exposure to mood-busting sugar and processed foods.

4. Up the fish oils.
The long dark winters in Iceland don’t translate into high levels of depression there, and scientists think the reason is in the high-omega-3 fish the locals consume.

For people who are depressed, researchers have found significant improvements in mood after just two weeks of therapy with fish oil.

How does it work? The omega-3 oils reduce depression-causing inflammatory chemicals and improved cellular function, all of which make a happier brain.

5. Feed your microflora, too.
The first-line prescription therapy for depression is a drugs that increases serotonin availability in the brain. Looking at the body as a whole, most serotonin is found in the gut, where it helps signal the movements needed to promote digestion.

We’re designed to make a lot of serotonin ourselves, with the help of foods and the healthy flora in our guts. Supporting that flora with probiotics —found in foods such as sauerkraut, kimchee, live yoghurt and miso — can help make more serotonin available to the whole body, including the brain.

Like fish oils, probiotics also reduce inflammation and oxidative stress that influence depression.

6. Give flower essences a try.
Having flower essences on hand can offer a quick pick-me-up, or support long-term healing. Take four drops as needed, or four times daily in a little water over the longer term. They don’t interact with any other medications, and the only possible concern is a tiny amount of alcohol.

Try Star of Bethlehem for dealing with grief and trauma. Sweet chestnut helps deep, dark despair and hopelessness. Pine relieves guilt. And willow helps when you feel resentful or sorry for yourself. For some sunshine in a bottle, try the Solstice Sun environmental essence from wild Alaska.

7. Learn more.
While there’s no substitute for talking with friends or professional counselors, these books can help you understand what’s going on and offer suggestions for helping yourself.

This psychologist-recommended website links to articles about natural health and a variety of mental health issues.

8. If you need help, get help.
Sometimes the blues are transient, and simple home fixes like these are all you need. But if the darkness persists, remember that you are not alone. Naturopaths and psychologists are an important part of getting better.

If you’re battling the blues this holiday season, be sure to take some moments out to take care of you!

Vegetable oils like soy, corn, cottonseed and canola are polyunsaturated fats. These fats are very unstable (because they have several double bonds that are easily broken, making it easy for free radicals to attack), especially when heated so they go rancid quickly. Humans have only been consuming these oils for about 100 years whereas butter, lard, beef tallow, coconut and olive oils have been consumed for thousands of years.  It is interesting to note that we didn’t develop epidemic rates of heart disease, cancer, diabetes and obesity until we stared eating vegetable oils and decreasing our intake of animal fats.

Vegetable oils are generally high in omega 6 fats and low in omega 3 fats so if we eat a lot of them (which we do in America because everything is made with them) we get too much omega-6 and not enough omega-3 causing our fatty acid profile to become unbalanced.  Omega-6 and omega-3 fats compete with each other for absorption which means that a diet high in omega-6 fats will deplete the body of omega-3 fats.  This imbalance leads to inflammation, pain and disease.

The vegetable oils you buy at the store are most likely already rancid when you purchase them and products containing these oils are also already rancid.  We can’t tell they are rancid because deodorizers are used to disguise the rancid smell.  Heating these oils causes even more damage to these delicate oils which translates to more free radical production and inflammation in the body.

Another serious problem with vegetable oils is that, unless they are from an organic source, they are genetically modified.  Allergies have increased significantly since we have been eating genetically modified foods and these foods can also contribute to infertility and other problems.

The best fats to use are butter, coconut oil, olive oil, lard, beef tallow and palm oil, with small amounts of flax and sesame oil.  These fats promote health in the body and have nourished and strengthened humans for thousands of generations.

Having a bad hair day? Why not try some Omega 3 and this is what you’ll see. Lustrous, perfect, great hair everyday!

More than 100,000 tiny hair strands, go through a lot of stress everyday with blow drying, shampooing, hair colouring, perming, straightening and all kinds of unimaginable stuff that fashion brings nowadays.

There are many causes in having poor hair condition. The most common are the chemical and hormonal imbalances that happen as a result of ageing, nutritional deficiency and illness. One major factor is nutritional deficiency being the most important and apparent cause which leads to chemical and hormonal imbalances. This is the main reason for the majority of all hair disorders.

Here are the common causes of hair diseases:

• Hormonal problems
• Excessively low protein diet
• Stress
• Pregnancy or hormonal medication
• Hormonal Imbalance
• Illness
• Prescribed medications
• Viral or bacterial infections
• Fungal infections
• Zinc deficiency

In today’s world, hair can easily dry up, go brittle and become lifeless due to chemicals in shampoos, hair conditioners, salon treatments and a lot more. Not to mention, the dust, smoke and dirt that your hair is exposed to, every time you step out of your home.

Clinical studies have also shown that Omega 3 fatty acids are said to nourish hair follicles improving the lustre and shine of your hair.  It also encourages hair growth, preventing premature baldness. In addition, fish oil is rich in protein, which also helps in having healthy hair. This information helps to explain the Omega 3 benefits to your hair.

Further research has shown that regular consumption of Omega 3 fish oil is said to improve the texture, lustre, density, as well as overall quality of one’s hair. Omega 3 is also believed to aid in the nourishment of the sebaceous glands, thereby adding moisture to one’s hair. Thus, having Omega 3 as part of your diet, is essential since important nutrients can help in keeping one’s hair in good shape, and is great in preventing dryness and brittleness of hair strands.

Omega 3 supplements can improve your hair in a lot of ways. These essential fatty acids play a major role in the proper functioning of various organs in the body including our heart, brain, joints, digestive system, skin, nails and hair.

If you are suffering from hair loss, then Omega 3 can help your hair re-grow much faster and stronger, preventing hair loss effectively and also aids in restarting the normal growth of hair.

And if you are not suffering from hair loss, omega 3 fatty acids can make your hair shine, improving the lustre and strength of your hair strands. Not only is Omega 3 oil good for the hair, but it is also great on skin care too, adding a natural glow, making you look younger and healthier. Omega 3 also has anti-inflammatory properties which are helpful in skin problems such as blemishes and acne.

And last but not the least, aside from having healthy hair, Omega 3 fatty acids also contributes to other areas of well-being, such as brain, joints, and cardiovascular health.  Thus Omega 3 plays a vital role in today’s overall health.

Its hard to know where to begin when listing the health benefits of adding flax to your diet.  Flax is one of the best plant based sources of omega-3 fatty acids and is also very high in fiber.  One of the many things that flax is said to be good for is reducing inflammation in the body so that makes it a perfect fit for the Arthritis Kitchen.  Today I made waffles and added 1/2 a cup of flax to the recipe.  I use Golden Flax.  I find it lighter in taste and texture.  I purchase it in the cooler section of my local organic market then keep it in the freezer.

Waffles with Golden Flax Meal

• 1 cup flour
• 1/2 cup golden flax meal
• 1 Tbs sugar
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 2 eggs – separated
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 1/3 cup oil

Sift dry ingredients together.  Whip egg whites to soft peaks.  Combine egg yolks, oil and milk.  Add mixture to dry ingredients, stir to blend.  Fold in egg whites.  I find that any batter that I add flax to takes a lot longer to cook.  Not sure why but that is always how it seems to be.  These were delicious.  A lot heavier than a conventional waffle but a lot more satisfying.  We served ours with fresh raspberries and warm maple syrup.

 - Endelig en artikkel som gir oss svar og løsninger, sier hunden.

Han har kraumet seg under et teppe  i sofaen med fredagens utgave av Dagens Næringslivs glossy magasin D2.  Ønskekonserten spiller gode, gamle plater ut av radiohøyttalerne, og ute er et mørkt. Hunden har en utpreget døsig søndag.

- Jeg tror lutefisken i går sitter lenge i kroppen, sier han.

- Kanskje tilbehøret du skuffet innpå, også bidrar, svarer jeg.- Men nå vet jeg hva du skal ordne til meg: Medisin mot søvforstyrrelser, Alzheimer og ADHD.

- Lider du av sånt?

- Nei, men den store nye trenden nå er å ta sånne piller selv om man er frisk. Det gjør oss smartere, raskere og våknere, og setter hjernene våre i høygear, sier hunden, og leser fra artikkelen i DN:

“Thorbjørn” er student i Trondheim. Han har diagnosen ADHD og blir behandlet med det reseptbelagte medikamentet Ritalin.  For dem med diagnosen ADHD virker Ritalin beroligende, for andre er virkningene helt annerledes. ”Thorbjørn”  tjener gode kroner på å selge piller til venner og kjente som ønsker å være ekstra våkne, energiske og konsentrerte over lang tid. Pris: 200 kroner per pille.

- En del kjøper når de er slitne etter en lang uke på studiet, og trenger krefte til å feste. Andre bruker det når de er slitne etter mye festing og trenger kreftene til å studere – når de har store oppgaver eller eksamener foran seg, sier “Thorbjørn” til DN. Sju prosent av amerikanske studenter oppga i 2005 at de tyr til ikke-medisinsk bruk av medikamenter for å prestere bedre, og nevrobiologer spår at dette bare er begynnelsen.

- Typisk amerikansk, slår jeg fast.

Hunden slenger magasinet bort til meg. Peker der det står at en av seks norske medisinerstudenter vet om noen som har prøvd prestasjonsfremmende medisiner.

Jeg leser videre i artikkelen, og mot slutten finner jeg det jeg leter etter, og nå er det jeg som leser høyt for hunden – det en avdelingsoverlege i Statens legemiddelinstitutt sier:

 - Det er en grunn til at medisinene er reseptbelagt. De har alle et avhengighets- og misbrukspotensial. Man kan tenke seg at hvis man begynner å  bruke disse medikamentene før man er 20 år, vil man ende opp med å bruke dem så lenge at hjernen kan bli påvirket og forandret. Hjernen kan gå i stå når du blir 50 på grunn av slitasje.

 - Betyr det at du nekter meg superpillene, spør hunden.

- Det gjør nok det.

- Hva vil du foreslå i stedet?

- Jeg kan strekke meg til omega 3 og ginseng, og så tror jeg vi går en tur. Ingenting er mer oppkvikkende enn det.

- Sant nok, men helst litt fart, takk, sier hunden. Han er allerede på beina og klar.

Are you aware of all of the benefits of Omega-3? There are
at least 16 of them, maybe more. Omega 3 is one of the most
beneficial oils for our body. In fact it is ESSENTIAL. That
is why they are called essential fatty acids.

Research shows that Greenland Eskimos and the Japanese enjoy
remarkable cardiovascular health. Scientists discovered that
these cultures consume foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids.

Omega-3 fatty acids are not made naturally by the body, so they
MUST be consumed through the diet. Most sources are available
in cold-water fish, including salmon, tuna, mackerel, and
halibut. They are also found in tofu, soybean, nuts, and
canola oils.

Sure, you can eat these foods every day and get some benefits,
but you know as well as I do, that you are not going to eat fish
EVERY day. And, if you are a vegetarian or vegan, you will not
be eating it at all. Of course, it is important to recognize
that some fish is safer to eat than others. If you are going to
eat salmon or tuna, make sure it is not FARMED fish. It should
identify on the packaging that it is wild fish from cold water
regions like Alaska or Iceland.

If you don’t like (or don’t eat) fish, or some of the other
sources of Omega-3,or you are concerned with the mercury level
in fish, Another way to get the additional Omega 3 is with
supplementation. Be sure that you find a product that uses a
pure source of Omega 3 fatty acids with NO detectible mercury.
An Omega-3 supplement with Vitamin E will be even more beneficial
as Vitamin E is an integral component of cell membranes. It helps
prevent free radical oxidation, shielding DNA from possible
mutagens. In addition, it helps maintain circulatory system
health.

Here are some of the reasons for making sure you are getting
enough Omega 3 in your diet.

Top 16 Benefits of taking Omega 3

• Anti-inflammatory – Helps reduce joint pain
• Lowers blood pressure
• Lowers bad cholesterol – Increases levels of good
cholesterol
• Lowers triglycerides
• Increases energy
• Supports circulatory system health
• Prevents blood clots (cause of heart attack and stroke)
• Improves memory
• Reduces plaque
• Boosts immune system
• Supports healthy skin
• Anti-Obesity
• Regulates pressure in the eye, joints, and blood vessels
• Supports cellular health – Transports oxygen from red
blood cells to the tissues
• Maintains healthy kidney function and fluid balance
• Regulates release of inflammatory substances from cells
that may trigger allergic conditions

Both Omega 6 and Omega 3 are essential, but the body requires
them in a ratio of 1:1. Currently in the United States the
ratio is around 10:1.

If the diet is deficient in either omega-6 or omega-3, long-term
degenerative illnesses will result. However, because the end
product (eg prostaglandin, leukotriene) of EFA metabolism differ
slightly but significantly from Omega-6 to Omega-3, they must be
present in BALANCE for optimum health.

Och så är det fredag igen och helgen stundar. En del ska ut och se sig om i vida världen, men för min del blir det nog inget häftigare än en vända till Granngården. Och så det vanliga plocket på jobbet innan dess. Bristen på ljus och soltimmar gör att jag inte känner mig tillräcklig påfylld för att längta ut på äventyr heller. Tycker mest det är skönt att få lägga mig raklång med en god bok och njuta av tystnaden efter dagens stress och slit. Jag väntar på att omega 3 kapslarnas verkan ska börja sätta fart på min hösttrötta kropp. Men ännu inget tecken på att det håller på att ske. I morgon väntar en hel del saker, så det kan vara skönt att ta fredagskvällen bara som den kommer, det får bli en sån där “bara vara”-kväll. Man behöver såna ibland också.

Svettig efter morgonens powerwalk in till stan samt något hårig (sparar tills vaxningen) och med en lite småvirrig och seg diethjärna hittade jag vägen till NJoy träningscenter här i stan och iförde mig den lilla svarta bikinin för träningssalens skarpa ljus … och in kommer en jätteglad, vacker och galet välformad Carina Isaksson för att ge mig lite poseringsträning.

Striked a pose at NJoy!

Jag kan bara seja att det verkligne var en mycket välinvesterad tid - det blev posering tills svetten rann, massor av riktigt bra tips & tricks och förslag inför och under tävlingen som jag känner mig så ohört tacksam för …

Slutligen kom även några riktigt peppande åsikter om hur min form kan bli om jag bara lägger manken till nu .. ord som var riktigt peppande å höra ifrån en tjej som kan det här… hon är verkligen ett exemplarisk föredöme för fitness – så hjälpsam och god också!

Carina Isaksson:

Jag behövde nog det här extra knuffet nu på slutet för att verkligen vilja & orka ge gärnet de sista veckorna.. så nu gäller det å bita ihop liiite till! No mercy!..ho..ho.. !

Men inte utan min fiskolja..

….det var iallafall en bubblande glad Liss som gick iväg och shoppade ett lass med tjocka färggranna strumpor efteråt (strumpor är och blir en konstant bristvara här hemma) samt en burk Eskimo-3 fiskolja – för det går ju åt en del fiskolja för tiden (Här kan du även läsa lite om omega 3-föreläsningen jag varit på med professor Saldeen)…

Sustainable salmon

Sounds delicious and it’s politically correct.  I wonder if the fish are massaged like Kobe beef.  It’s also deceiving, sustainable usually means farm raised, however, there are a few companies that specialize in ocean-raised salmon, which guarantees a specific amount of EPA for every 100 grams of salmon.

What’s wrong with farm-raised fish?  Their feed is high in contaminates from chemical pesticides and fertilizers, it’s low in EPA, high in arachidonic acid (the building block of “bad” eicosanoids) and colored with pink pigment chemicals.  Wild salmon are higher in EPA and acquire their deep red color consuming cold-water plankton.  What you find in most fish farms are soybean oil and other vegetable oils rich in omega-6 fatty acids that fuel those “bad” eicosanoids causing chronic disease, such as obesity, heart disease, arthritis and dementia.

Alternatives:

• Purchase wild salmon.
• However, the best source for your daily omega-3s (EPA plus DHA) is to supplement with OmegaRx.  It’s convenient, concentrated and pure.  1,000mg of EPA plus DHA from OmegaRx is about 60 cents.  Wild salmon at $13.99 pound will cost about $15 per 1,000mg plus contaminates!

Whole Grain Products

You mean bread, cereals, rice, even the mother of all grains, quinoa?  Yes, but they’re organic, stone ground, harvested on a full moon, free trade from responsible, humane, and passionate growers and bakers.  I applaud these individuals for their hard work and delicious products, but more than 75 percent of the population would be better off consuming much less than our government’s daily recommendations.  Why?  We are not genetically designed to consume grains.

But a seven-year German study recommended seven servings of whole grains daily for a longer life!  (Healthy Living Is the Best Revenge: Findings From the European Prospective Investigation Into Cancer and Nutrition–Potsdam Study
Earl S. Ford; Manuela M. Bergmann; Janine Kröger; Anja Schienkiewitz; Cornelia Weikert; Heiner Boeing Arch Intern Med. 2009;169(15):1355-1362.)

You know whole grain breads, cereal, pasta, popcorn and brown rice.  This goes against what Dr. Sears has written about since his first book, “The Zone.”

Unfortunately, the Germans have a preconceived notion that eating lots of rye bread is good for you.  If they had looked at a population eating high levels of fruits and vegetables, small amounts of whole grains, a lot of fish and using primarily olive oil, they would have had even better results.  It’s like comparing Americans to Samoans and stating that Americans are healthier because they have less obesity.

You’ll get far more nutrients and better insulin control from a plate of non-starchy vegetables than from one filled with whole grains and starches.

Don’t take Dr. Sears’ word.  Have your blood checked.  See the “The Anti-Aging Zone,” “The Anti-Inflammation Zone,” or “The OmegaRx Zone” for specific blood test parameters.  Don’t have the time and want to know right now if you have elevated levels of insulin?  How are your clothes fitting?  A little snug?  Or look in the mirror.  If you’re overweight, you could be headed for trouble.

Alternatives:

• Zone Pasta and Cereal, which are balanced with proteins, carbohydrates and fat.
• Small amounts of low-carb products along with portion-controlled “unfavorable” carbohydrates.  See the Zone Food Block lists at www.zonediet.com
• Stick to mostly non-starchy fruits and vegetables.

Packaged Diet Foods

Food manufacturers are following the lead of the government promoting products low in fat but high in carbohydrates, artificial taste enhancers and sweeteners.  Unfortunately, fat is not the enemy.  It’s too many carbohydrates that stimulate your appetite by raising blood sugar and insulin levels.  Two hours later, you’re reaching for another low-fat Danish treat.

The more carbs you consume, the more insulin you make — a sure-fire way to increase your waist size while increasing silent inflammation, the root cause of chronic disease.

Alternatives:

• Become aware of your food choices.  Whole, fresh, non-starchy foods are best.
• If you need convenience consider products that are crafted to balance proteins, carbohydrates and fats.
• The ultimate solution is a more balanced diet, like the Zone, consisting of virtually equal calories coming from low-fat protein, carbohydrates (primarily fruits and vegetables), and non-inflammatory fat, such as olive oil.  This is basically a modified Mediterranean diet that gives superior anti-inflammatory results, according to recent research from Harvard Medical School.

With all the misinformation and slick marketing techniques, following a diet that enhances the quality of your life can be a challenge.  Your choices have consequences, and positive change is the result of small choices.  Choose wisely and you’ll reap all the benefits the Zone has to offer.

Løpe

TINE bruker løpe utvunnet fra storfe i sine oster. (Det er delte meninger om løpe er halal eller haram blant lovskolene, men løpe fra storfe/kalv/ku er tillat i Hanafi-lovskolen).

Det finnes TINE oster uten animalsk løpe som er fremstilt av mikrobiell løpe eller uten løpe (halal):

- Norbo ost (halal-godkjent m/ mikrobiell løpe)
- Norsk Chevre (mikrobiell løpe)
- Snøfrisk hvitost (mikrobiell løpe)
- TINE Kremsot
- Snøfrisk
- Sans Kesam
- Sans Kremost
- TINE Gamalost
- TINE pultost

( ^ Resten av ostene er uten løpe)

balık

Gribe karşı bol bol balık yiyelim. Doktorlar ve araştırmacılar balıkta bol mikrta omega 3 ve fosfor olduğunu söylerek bağışıklık sistemine bire bir geldiğinide vurduladır. Kış aylarında balık bol ve ucuz iken hemde domuz gribine karşı savunmamız için bol balık yiyin diyorlar.

Hamile olan kişiler bazı balıkları yememeleri gerekiyor. Mesela karides çok iyi haşlanmalı. Bu mevsimde en taze ve ucuz balıklar ise şöyle, çinekop, hamsi, lüfer, levrek ve istarvit bolca bulunuyor ve fiyatlarıda oldukça ucuz.
