How to Eat Essential Fatty Acids

Friday, January 23rd, 2009

How much good fat, fatty acids, should you be eating every day? And what is good fat? Most fat is good since your body needs all types of fat, but the best fats are the essential fatty acids. Even though saturated fat is called bad fat, the body still needs a little bit of this type of fat.

The amount of essential fatty acids that you should have in your diet, if you show no signs of any type of illness, is between 15 -20% of the overall calories you eat every day. The breakdown of the types of fats that you should be eating is, 3-4% saturated fat 5-7% omega-6 2.5-3.5% omega-3 5-10% omega-9

Notice that you should be eating 5-10 % of omega-9. This is the best essential fatty acid for your health. The problem is that not that many foods or oils have a lot of omega-9, so it is hard to get 5-10% of this oil in your diet.

Digesting fats

Some of you may have problems digesting fatty acids and saturated fats. This may occur because you,

Don’t have any fat digestive enzymes

Have your gallbladder removed

Have a weak pancreas

To improve your digestion of essential fatty acids, you should be supplementing your diet with digestive enzymes. Since most fats are digested in the small intestine, just passed your stomach, you should be taking enteric enzymes.

Enteric enzymes are coated so that they are not used up in the stomach by acid and can reach the small intestine where most of the fats are digested.

If you don’t take digestive enzymes, you can improve the digestion of these fatty acids by mixing them with cottage cheese. When mixing flax seed oil with cottage cheese, the protein in the cottage cheese makes this oil more digestible.

Storing the essential fatty acids

The fatty acids and ground up flax seeds are sensitive to the environment and how they are processed and packaged. Improper handling of these oils will cause them to deteriorate and loss their potency.

The essential fatty acids are sensitive to,

Air

Heat

Light

Air

Oxygen from the air reacts quickly with fatty acids. This
Oxidation causes these oils to deterioration and become rancid. When using these oils keep the bottles close when they are not in use. Buy omega-3, fatty acid, only in dark containers.

Heat

Heating fatty acids causes them to chemically change into molecules that are harmful to your health. This is one reason why you should never use them to fry foods. Use flax seed oil or omega oil only at room temperature. When adding them to soups, add them after you pull the soups of the hot plate.

If manufacturers do not take the precautions to package and process these oils in the dark and use opaque bottles, the air, oxygen, heat, and light will destroy the value of these oils.

Light

Light is extremely detrimental to fatty acids. When light hits
fatty acids and oxygen is available, they speeds up the oxidation of these essential fatty acids by 1000 times. Under these conditions
these oils quickly become rancid. Light produces free radicals in these oils, which in turn create various chemicals that are harmful to your body.

Now, you have more facts about how to use, eat, and store the essential fatty acids. Treat them good and they will give you excellent health.

The Truth About Aspartame

Monday, January 19th, 2009

I read article this morning written by a women in Toronto who goes by the moniker “Ask The Expert”. I said to myself, self, let’s read about what she has to say about artificial sweeteners, Aspartame in particular, and see what she had to say. Well I was quite suprised when she said that there are “NO HARMFUL” affects from drinking diet soda, in fact she recommended it over regular soda because there was no sugar in it. First of all, the body has metabolic pathways that break sugar down, convert it to glucose and then shuttle it throughout the body to be used as energy. The second flaw in her argument was that aspartame has numerous intermediate compounds with a few of them being formaldehyde and fumaric acid(active ingredient in fire ant venom), and wood alchohol for those of you who are in the market for brain lesions and/tumors. I am just scratching the surface of this poison that has been sold to the public as a safe alternative to sugar(I will talk about High Fructose Corn Syrup at another time), so do some more investigating on your own, it’s called the Internet. Take a few minutes and watch this video and educate yourself. Protocol Supplements is here to give you the very best in nutrition and performance products as well as keeping you informed about what is not good for you and your family. Now stop with the diet crap and drink some water.

Yours in health,

Organic Greens and Fruit Powder Supplement

Wednesday, January 14th, 2009

<

First and foremost, if you are going to buy any organics greens and fruits nutrients/supplements, make sure that they are organically grown. The main reason for this is the overuse of pesticides, fungicides, and insecticides used by the giant agri-farms. There main goal is to bring bloated food to market in the shortest amount of time. Did you ever wonder why commercial apples are much bigger than organic? The answer is CHEMICALS, chemicals to make them grow to maturity in a shorter amount of time so what you end up with is food with very low nutrient content and very high chemical residue. The low nutrient content is due to the fact that these industrial farmers do not replace the mineral content to the soil. No minerals in the soil, no minerals in the food. What they do put back are only the couple of minerals that will support growth but not high nutrient levels. There was a book published many years ago called “Empty Harvest” which lays out the demise of the small farmer and the hijacking of nutritious foodin no uncertain terms.

Since I was never quite sure what the quality of the products I was trusting and purchasing, I decided to source my own organic vegetable and fruit supplement. I know the people who produce this, and all of my products, for over 15 years and know first hand their honest and integrity. I am thrilled to be able to bring such a high quality product to family, friends, and those seeking a higher level of health and nutrition. So know that I will always bring you the very best of any product I offer, it is my reputation and integrity on the line here and I am not willing to risk it with supplements that do not live up to my standards, or those of the people that put their trust in me. I hope you enjoy the health and fitness community we will build with Protocol Supplements.

Yours in optimal health,

Cody Oakland, M.S.
