The problem is that omega 3's and omega 6's are processed by the same biochemical processes, and an excess intake of one blocks the uptake of the other.<br /><br />The idea ratio of o-6 to o-3 is from 1-1 to 4-1. Eating the Standard American Diet (SAD), most people are getting a ratio exceeding 20-1.<br /><br />Adding fish oil can improve this ratio, but cutting back on processed vegetable oils can improve it more.<br /><br />Stop using corn, peanut, soybean, safflower, cottonseed, canola, and other processed seed oils.<br /><br />Use o-9 MUFAs for for uses that don't involve heat (virgin olive oil), and use saturated fats for uses that do. (Coconut oil, macadamia nut oil, butter, ghee, tallow, lard).jdegehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01495457567906071678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-9676365962298479382013-07-11T19:47:47.313-06:002013-07-11T19:47:47.313-06:00Certainly exercise helps, look how well it worked ...Certainly exercise helps, look how well it worked for Jim Fixx. Now that I'm retired and out from behind a desk, the daily bike rides have made the A-Frib symptoms disappear. Eating carefully also helps. Moderation and wide variety seems to be the right approach, or you can take Steve Graham's approach:<br />http://www.amazon.com/Eat-What-You-Want-Like/dp/0806528680.<br /><br />Remember, monks don't actually live any longer than the rest of us, it just seems like it.Billllhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13913354887560267235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-65917264692836733722013-07-11T17:22:58.816-06:002013-07-11T17:22:58.816-06:00Nobody gets out alive.Nobody gets out alive.BFRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09446254517738219155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-46523698451482453252013-07-11T12:54:57.976-06:002013-07-11T12:54:57.976-06:00I think there's a lot more to the story, consi...I think there's a lot more to the story, considering the wealth of evidence that the omega-3 PUFAs are helpful. My very first thought is nutrient imbalance. While omega-6 PUFAs are required, they have to stay in a proper ratio to omega-3s. There are a lot of problems caused by having way too much omega-6 and too little omega-3. I would investigate the inverse in this instance-- too much omega-3 balanced against omega-6 or other nutrients.<br /><br />People weren't created to ingest any of these nutrients in highly purified forms, the way we do today.
