 Healthy oils: Consuming regular quantities of healthy oils and omega-3 fatty acids makes a huge difference on the power and reach of your intention. Eat more chia seeds (www.GoodCauseWellness.com), avocados, raw coconut oil (www.RawFoods.com) and minimally processed plant-based oils. Fish oils can also be supportive if you choose to eat fish-derived products. Flax seeds serve a similar purpose for those who are vegetarian.
Berries: Eat massive quantities of fresh, raw berries to boost nervous system function and greatly enhance the power of your intention. |

 Rather, it means that the dumber a person is, the more beef they're likely to eat and the less likely they are to seek out and consume healthy oils like DHA.
If you don't believe me, walk into any cowboy steakhouse and try to strike up a conversation about healthy oils and nutrition. You'll be met with blank stares that look dumber than the cows from which the steaks came in the first place. Let's face it: Cowboy steak lovers do not exactly represent the more sophisticated thinkers in society today. There is a nutritional reason behind that. |

 Given that most overweight people are already extremely deficient in omega-3 fatty acids, DHA and other healthy oils, this Alli drug is likely to put them in an even worse state of deficiency.
The drug works by interfering with the digestion of dietary fats, you see. That may sound great if you're eating a diet of fried foods, hydrogenated oils and processed meat products, but even if you block the absorption of those obesity-promoting fats, you're still left in a state of deficiency concerning the healthy oils like omega-3 fatty acids. |

 Increase the intake of fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, seeds, fish, soy, and healthy oils such as fish, flaxseed, and olive oils. will especially benefit those with fluid-retention symptoms. (See Chapter 7 on fibrocystic breasts for more information about the detrimental effects of caffeine.)
It is estimated that there are two million alcoholic women in the reproductive age group in the United States.22 Sixty-seven percent of these women relate their drinking to their menstrual cycles, and drinking bouts occur usually during the premenstrual phase. |

 As far as supplements go, you need to get some healthy oils, because nervous system function depends heavily on the presence of these healthy oils in your body. These include the omega-3 fatty acids and various subcomponents of that, most notably GLA or gamma linolenic acid. GLA, which is present in human breast milk, is critical for not only the development of brain tissue but the ongoing support of it. You can get GLA in superfoods like spirulina. You can also find GLA in various fish oils, such as cod liver oil, which is another fantastic supplement to be taking on a regular basis. |

 Willett observes, was also "driven by the reality of storage—white flour, with almost none of the healthy oils found in whole-grain flour, keeps longer. Whole-grain flours must be used more quickly and/or refrigerated."
But what it comes down to is that when "whole grains are processed or refined, they're stripped of much of their nutritional value," points out fitness trainer and exercise physiologist Bob Greene, who is Oprah Winfrey's personal fitness coach. |

 Other healthy oils include canola oil and flaxseed oil. However, because flaxseed oil is heat sensitive, do not use for cooking. Use flaxseed oil for making salad dressings or mixing in yogurt or smoothies.
In contrast, avoid cooking with or consuming margarine, butter, and corn, sunflower, safflower, or peanut oil, as they have been found to promote heart and vascular disease.
Beverages

 Greenway confirmed that while hair grows only about a quarter inch a month, the fast-acting cells of the sebaceous glands in the scalp—the same glands that affect the appearance of the skin—will have an immediate affect on the appearance of the hair when they get an infusion of nutrients, particularly healthy oils that promote growth and health. The proper balance of fatty acids in the diet has an immediate effect on the functioning of the sebaceous glands. |

 The almond butter, simultaneously, provides the fat texture and healthy oils for your body. In fact, almonds are a great way to get heart-healthy oils into your system. There are oils in almonds that can prevent and even help reverse cardiovascular disease. They can reduce your risk of heart attacks and strokes. They even help enhance nervous system function. These oils will also help you regulate blood sugar levels, and there are phytochemicals in almonds that help fight cancer and regulate the growth of cancer tumors. |

| Other logical dietary considerations for women with recurring infections are to avoid excess sugar consumption, assess and avoid food allergens, and eat a diet that promotes healthy digestive function, including complex carbohydrates, high fiber, fermented dairy products, and healthy oils such as olive oil, nuts, and seeds.
Large amounts of fluids are highly recommended for preventing UTIs, as they literally flush out the urinary tract and dilute the concentration of disease-causing bacteria. |

| That may sound great if you're eating a diet of fried foods, hydrogenated oils and processed meat products, but even if you block the absorption of those obesity-promoting fats, you're still left in a state of deficiency concerning the healthy oils like omega-3 fatty acids. And if you eat more flaxseed or take fish oil capsules, guess what? Alli will interfere with those, too, causing you to miss out on at least some of their benefits.
What an incredibly genius idea for a drug! Transform adults into diaper-wearing little children, then leave them in a state of nutritional deficiency. |

 So if you really love macadamia nuts and you want the real thing -- nuts that taste great and have been dried and packaged in a way that preserves the healthy oils and the nutritional content -- get your macadamia nuts from South Kona Macs. Even if you don't especially like macadamia nuts, you may want to try these nuts anyway: they're in a different quality class than typical mac nuts.
South Kona Macs also offers macadamia nut oil and macadamia nut butter, both of which are quite delicious. |

| If you don't believe me, walk into any cowboy steakhouse and try to strike up a conversation about healthy oils and nutrition. You'll be met with blank stares that look dumber than the cows from which the steaks came in the first place. Let's face it: Cowboy steak lovers do not exactly represent the more sophisticated thinkers in society today. There is a nutritional reason behind that. The "pioneer diet" or "cowboy diet" is not one that maximizes brain nutrition for infants or adults. |
| From a nutritional standpoint, the brain is the best source of healthy oils in all land animals. In fact, human children who grew up eating the brains of animals have healthier brains and nervous systems than those who didn't.
Animal brains are also a very good source of cholesterol, and even though cholesterol has been named as a dietary culprit over the last few decades, that information is now largely understood to be incorrect. Cholesterol itself is not the culprit. Cholesterol doesn't cause heart disease. |
| They are essentially the same concept, and they both produce very healthy oils from a nutritional point of view. Everybody knows, for example, that DHA is an important oil for the brain health of infants and children. Those who eat more DHA have been clinically proven to be smarter in adulthood. And guess what's found in cow brains? DHA.
In fact, some of the best animal sources of DHA are the retina, the brain and another bodily fluid that's too gross to mention here as a food source. |

 The healthy alternative I use is fruit juice mixed with healthy oils. Citrus juices are natural meat tenderizers. Anyone who makes homemade barbecue sauce knows that pineapple juice is a staple ingredient. Lemon juice, commonly used to make fish more palatable, also is a natural meat tenderizer.
Try the following seasoning that's perfect for meats, vegetables, and salads. It will make you forget you ever thought you needed salt. |

 Mike: There's a universe of information now about the benefits of healthy oils, and that, of course, benefits you by association.
Shamai: By association. As our own industry, we don't have those [studies yet.] It'll be published, believe me. We're eager to get it out there. Oftentimes when the media talks about healthy oils, they'll talk about omega-3, but they won't talk about hemp.
Mike: It's all flax.
Shamai: Yes, it's all flax and fish oil and stuff like that. |

Figure Out What Food Labels Really Mean
We recommend that you eat mostly fresh foods. The reason is simple: fresh foods are almost always more nutritious than processed, refined, and packaged foods. Fresh foods are also much better than processed, packaged foods for improving blood sugar and weight. |

 Nuts, seeds, and avocados are all excellent sources of healthy oils, but you'll want to consume them in moderation due to their high fat content. Select raw, organic nuts and seeds (such as pumpkin, sesame, and sunflower) whenever possible, and soak them overnight to deactivate enzyme inhibitors and thus improve their digestibility. |

| Practical Guideline #5. Eat healthy oils and Fats
We still meet people who believe that all fat is bad and that low-fat or zero-fat diets are the healthiest. The truth is that some fats protect against diabetes and weight gain.
The types of fats stored in your body reflect those in your diet, and people who are overweight or prediabetic usually have unhealthy fat profiles. To correct these undesirable patterns, you must make a point of eating only healthy fats. (Brief definitions are in order. Both fats and oils are more technically referred to as fatty acids. |
| Poached Salmon (Serves 1-2)
Poaching salmon preserves the fish's own healthy oils without adding any more. Once it's poached, you can serve the salmon with a cream sauce or Pesto Aioli (see page 162). Refrigerate the leftovers, flaking off chunks for salads. Poaching works best with a long, low pot, but you can also use a smaller piece offish in a 2-quart saucepan. |

 Striking a balance between the low-fat craze and overzeal-ous use of healthy oils is the key to finding their true benefits.
Good Fats Versus Bad Fats
One of the key determinants of whether a fat is good or bad is its effect on cellular membranes and, as a result, the action of insulin. Membranes are made mostly of fatty acids. What determines the type of fatty acid present in the cell membrane is the type of fat you consume. |

 If you stop eating the foods that are heavily advertised and ignore the advice of nutritionists, dietitians and doctors who are still pushing old-school nutrition, and instead start eating natural and organic foods, healthy oils and plant-based fats, while avoiding toxic ingredients – including red meat, dairy products and excitotoxins – then you, too, can create healthy blood chemistry that you can verify with simple laboratory analysis. It's very straightforward. |

| Scientific investigations reveal that particles of LDL cholesterol (the potentially harmful cholesterol) in the blood that are made up of the monounsaturated fats of olive oil are less likely to become oxidized than other less healthy oils and fats. This is important, for as far as researchers can tell, it is only oxidized cholesterol that adheres to vessel walls and inevitably form the plaque that can lead to heart attacks or strokes. By ingesting olive oil instead of saturated animal fats, we can prevent the oxidation of cholesterol and help prevent atherosclerosis. |

| Spirulina also contains some healthy oils such as GLA, an oil that is essential for the healthy functioning of your nervous system. Simultaneously, it contains vitamin B-12 and a full complement of other B-vitamins. These are the vitamins that most Americans are deficient in. Vegetarians especially tend to miss out on getting enough vitamin B-12 because that particular vitamin is not commonly available from the plant kingdom. So by eating spirulina, you can avoid any nutritional deficiencies in the B-vitamin area. |
| With the almonds you have the fats and the healthy oils. With the dates and the agave nectar, you have the complex carbohydrates. And with the brown rice protein, you have a good serving of protein. In fact, the bar contains a whopping 14 grams of protein. Now that's about half as much as perhaps a high-protein food bar, but it's still a lot more protein than you would find in most other sports bars or energy bars. And, again, this is a high-quality protein, not some dairy-derived protein source. |

 Avoid hydrogenated oils and consume healthy oils instead -- olive oil, macadamia nut oil, salmon oil and flax oil, for example. Eat lots of nuts and seeds in their raw, unprocessed state. Avoid milk and dairy products, food additives, added sugars, artificial food coloring and artificial sweeteners. You know the drill. You know how to be healthy. You know how to prevent breast cancer. It's not that difficult to prevent.
Live your life in a healthy, happy way and stay away from these insane surgeons with scalpels and mad ideas about removing organs that might someday have cancer. |
