I want to talk to you about a serious dietary problem that nearly everyone reading this article is facing right now, at this very moment. In fact, this dietary “imbalance” is being recognized by leading medical professionals around the world as a major contributor to the increasing frequency of joint pain and discomfort, slowed metabolism, declined heart health, weight gain, premature aging, skin conditions, mood swings, and even memory and mental focus issues amongst the human race today.
What am I talking about?
I’m talking about the harsh reality is that the typical Western diet, and even many so-called “healthy” diet plans, contain far too many inflammation-promoting Omega-6 fatty acids and not nearly enough anti-inflammatory Omega-3 fatty acids.
You see, the ideal dietary ratio of Omega-6 to Omega-3 fatty acids is 1:1 or an equal intake of omega-3s compared to Omega-6s.
Unfortunately, due to an overconsumption of processed vegetable oils (found in baked goods, packaged foods, and cooking oils), non-organic meats, eggs, and dairy products, farmed fish, fried foods, high-heat processed nuts and seeds, and heavily refined grain products—all of which are loaded with Omega-6 fatty acids—the Omega-6 to Omega-3 ratio of the typical Australian diet is an extremely unbalanced 25:1…
The result? Toxic Inflammation Overload that spreads throughout your body, destroys your health, and makes it nearly impossible for you to realize the weight loss goals that you are working so hard to achieve.
You see, ingestion of Omega-6 fatty acids stimulates the release of pro-inflammatory molecules called eicosanoids. When these inflammatory molecules are continually present due to daily excessive Omega-6 intake, they essentially act as a persistent slow-burning fire that wreaks havoc on your insides and causes damage to the healthy tissues of your body—damage to cardiac tissue and blood vessels (causing your arterial walls to thicken and your blood passageways to narrow), joint tissue, gut lining, endocrine glands, skin, and even brain tissue.
And if this weren’t enough, too much Omega-6 in your diet also suppresses your immune system, making you much more susceptible to illness and disease.
