 Blue-green algae (available at most health-food stores) contains omega fatty acids and the antioxidant phycocyanin and works similarly to a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug like ibuprofen. Cranberries, blueberries, cherries, and blackberries are jam-packed with antioxidants called anthocyanins and polyphenols, which also have anti-inflammatory qualities. Leafy greens such as kale and spinach contain lutein, another superantioxidant. Cocoa carries flavonoids, particularly potent antioxidants that can zap free radicals and protect against inflammation. |

 Indeed, omega 3 has virtually disappeared from the diets of many people in the developed world - including many vegetarians.
There's mounting evidence that (among other contemporary ills) omega 3 deficiency is related to distractibility and learning difficulties. In a 2005 UK study, fish oil supplements made a noticeable difference to the concentration and academic achievement of ADHD and dyslexic children. |
| Professor Tom Sanders, professor of nutrition at London University, has compared omega 3-rich brains to Pentium 3 microprocessors, while people whose brains have too much omega 6 are 'slow and sluggish, like a 20-year-old silicon chip'.
The wrong sort of fat
But there's a further worrying factor in the fat story. Many foods these days contain manufactured 'trans-fats' (often listed on the label as 'hydrogenated vegetable oils'). These are processed fats, which are popular with the food industry because they're cheap to produce and prolong shelf life. |

| Ensure children have both omega 3 (e.g. oily fish, flax oil/linseed oil) and omega 6 (animal fats, nuts, vegetable oils) - if necessary, look into fish oil supplements.
• Avoid trans-fats (e.g. hydrogenated vegetable oil).
• Help children recognise the difference between yourinterest in their health and fitness, and the marketeers' interest in your money.
• Don't use food - especially unhealthy snack foods - as a reward or treat. Try to persuade grandparents and others to follow this rule too.
• Parental example is very important. |

 What assurance do you have that The omega Diet is not just another fad diet? Fortunately, there are ways you can judge the validity of this program, or any other diet for that matter. The most important question to ask is whether a diet has been tested in a large-scale clinical trial. If the only "proof" of a diet is one small, unpublished study; or the testimony of a select group of clients; or, worse yet, the enthusiastic claims of a celebrity promoter—"I was on this diet for three weeks and I feel terrific!"—you have no assurance that the diet will work for you. |

How the Chemical Message System m Your Brain Can Age You
All of us get messages on the phone and computer. Some of us get messages in bottles. And the lucky ones get messages on steamed-up bathroom mirrors telling them that someone's waiting for them in the bedroom.
In a society that sends and receives messages at an Indy 500 pace, we're all well aware of the advantages and disadvantages of the communication process. Sometimes we get messages instantaneously. Sometimes it takes longer. |

 Unless they are nonfat products, the dairy products have saturated fat but no omega -3 fat. Tuna has about 30 more calories in a 3.5-ounce serving than the dairy, but this is a situation that calls for choosing nutrients without worrying about calories. Fish is better than dairy.
Q: If it's really as simple as two main food groups (protein and produce) for good health, why do so many nutritionists and doctors recommend cheese as part of a healthy diet? |

 The omega Plan. This imbalance puts us at greater risk for a number of serious illnesses, including heart disease, cancer, stroke, and arthritis, he says.
As we've noted, an excess of omega-6 fatty acids, when not checked by a complementary amount of omega-3's, can lead to the overproduction of potentially inflammatory biochemicals called prostaglandins and leukotrienes.
A deficiency of omega-3's is linked to various skin disorders, arthritis and joint stiffness, irritable bowel syndrome, premenstrual syndrome, immune dysfunction, and depression, says Michael Janson, M.D. |

INFLATIONARY TWIST
Our view of the end was transformed in the 1980s, when the idea of inflation appeared on the scene. Prior to that, a big crunch and an unlimited expansion seemed equally probable, but now the theory of inflation made a very definite prediction.
During inflation the density of the universe is driven extremely close to the critical density. |

 So the company we're talking about here is the omega Tree.
Ayerza: This is interesting because these people are working with the Argentinean and Bolivian growers to help expand the chia. They brought the chia to the USA, in Phoenix, an Arizona-based company. And they extract the oil by corn press and encapsulate and send the oil because it's easier for some people to eat the omega-3 capsules than to eat the chia seeds.
Mike: I'd rather eat the seeds, personally.
Ayerza: Me too, but there are some people that prefer just the oil. |

 Fatty oil: chief fatty acids linoleic acid (65-80%), gamma-linolenic acid (8-14%), oleic acid (6-11%), palmitic acid (7-10%)
EFFECTS
Evening Primrose oil (EPO) is an omega 6 fatty acid that contains approximately 8.9% gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). GLA is converted to dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid and then to prostaglandin El (PGE1) in vivo by the enzyme delta-6-desaturase. PGE1 has anti-inflammatory and cell membrane stabilizer activity in the body. |

 It simply means that the first double bond is to be found on the third carbon atom counting from the methyl end of the molecule, the omega end.
When scientists get bored, they like to rename everything, which can keep laymen confused. The new chemical term for omega-3 oils is N-3 oils. Corn, safflower, sunflower, peanut, and soybean oils are referred to as N-6 oils, as is alpha-linoleic acid. Olive oil contains the N-9 oil called oleic acid.

Why We Eat the Wrong Pats
Once the myths are cleared away, there's room to explore some exciting new discoveries about fat. One of the most important medical findings of recent years is that eating a balanced ratio of essential fatty acids (EFAs) brings your diet back in synch with your genes and helps you experience optimal health. |

 Also known as fish body oil, omega-3 fatty acids, marine oils, PUFA (polyunsaturated fatty acids), and omega fatty acids, this important class of essential fats has been used to effectively reduce inflammation in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and a wide range of other inflammatory disorders.
Fish oils are believed to prevent and reduce inflammation by competing with arachidonic acid, a highly inflammatory substance, and thus inhibiting the production of a hormone that causes blood clotting and vasoconstriction. |

| If you're concerned, get omega eggs or discard some yolks. Egg whites are pure protein and produce less acid than the whole egg. Potatoes are vegetables that are starchy and have a high glycemic index, but they're healthy compared to traditional grain breakfasts. If you want more variety, add a healthy kind of meat. Gourmet breakfasts often contain lox or salmon, but if that's too strong for you, eat a lean cut of pork, such as pork tenderloin, and fruits and vegetables.
Raw, blended, and juiced fruits are great. Make a smoothie with vegetables. |

 MARINE OILS
Marine oils, as found in such fish as salmon, mackerel, tuna, sardines, and menhaden, contain omega-3 fatty acids (the fatty acids found in vegetable oils are called omega-6). omega 3 is unique in that it tends to lower serum cholesterol and make the blood less sticky, which helps reduce the risk of developing blood clots that can cause heart attacks and strokes. Omega-3-Rich seafood is permitted on the Permanent Remissions Plan, but you should limit your consumption to a 4-ounce portion no more than twice each week. |

 Because the omega fats that nuts contain oxidize rapidly, processors roast nuts to keep them "fresh," but doing so destroys any antioxidant benefits. And salt, as anyone who has had a close encounter with a bowl of salted cashews will attest, makes you want another handful, then another. But as a starter, do try Dr. G.'s World-Famous Nut Mix (page 196). As your diet progresses, the increasingly large amounts of green food you'll be consuming will also slowly break down into glucose during the day. You'll learn this green-foods trick in the weeks to come.

| There is such a wealth of evidence now supporting the importance of eating a balanced ratio of EFAs and restricting the intake of saturated fat and trans-fatty acids that I believe The Seven Dietary Guidelines of The omega Diet will eventually replace our current dietary guidelines.22 What's more, people will find it easy to follow the new guidelines because public opinion will have forced the food industry to awaken to the importance of eating healthy fats. |
| Note the similarity in spelling between "linoleic" and "linolerac") The typical Western diet is overloaded with linoleic acid and relatively deficient in alpha-linolenic acid, so for optimal health you will need to be eating less of the first and more of the second, a change that takes place automatically when you follow The omega Diet.
When linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid interact with certain enzymes, they go through two transformations: They become desat-urated by losing hydrogen and increasing the number of double bonds, and they become longer (add more carbon atoms). |

 There may be alternative explanations because EPA has many functions in the brain that we are just beginning to understand.
The omega Cure
Whatever the ultimate explanation, the Sheffield findings have encouraged other researchers to test EPA in the clinical setting as well. Reports from the field are dramatic, and reveal a need for greater study of EPA.
Researchers at the Imperial College School of Medicine in London, for instance, decided to try EPA therapy on a thirty-one-year-old patient who consistendy refused antipsychotic medications due to fear of side effects. |

 We follow this fad diet or that exercise "miracle," eventually realizing that there are no easy answers.
The omega Solution is not about "miracles" or "revolutions." I've written this book to let the average person know that there is something we can all do on a daily basis for our health—something that can make a profound difference in how we feel, while not costing a fortune or forcing us into eating a diet that seems unbalanced. By making essential fatty acids part of your daily routine, whether through diet or as a nutritional supplement, you take a big step toward general good health. |

| On The omega Diet, you can eat lean meat two or three times a week. A meal that contains lean meat, a salad, and one or more vegetable dishes is a nutritionally balanced meal. You might also explore some alternatives to beef. There is a growing market for "exotic" meats such as buffalo, beefalo (a cross between cattle and buffalo) and emu (an ostrich-type bird) because they are relatively low in saturated fat. For example, a buffalo steak has only 6 grams of saturated fat per 100 grams of meat, compared with 20 grams for a similar amount of beef or pork. |
| The beauty of The omega Diet is that you can make all these changes to your diet without sacrificing flavor. In fact, you may find that you need to add more fat to your diet to satisfy The Seven Dietary Guidelines. For example, it is healthier to have a tomato sauce that includes olive oil than a fat-free tomato sauce because the fat helps you absorb more of the nutrients. It is better to eat one slice of toast spread with canola/butter than two slices of dry toast because you will have a better balance of carbohydrates and fat. |

| Place canola oil, red onions, and salmon in a large nonstick skillet and cook, stirring, over medium-high heat, about 5 minutes. Onions should look translucent. Remove from heat.
2. Scramble the 4 whole omega eggs and 2 egg whites in a medium-size bowl.
3. Add the contents of the skillet to the scrambled eggs and stir continuously. Pour the mixture back into the skillet and cook over medium heat.
4. Tilt and turn the skillet while lifting the edges of the omelet to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath.
5. Once the eggs have set, slide the omelet onto a plate.
