Change Your Oils, Change your Life
Your cell membranes are made of fat called biological lipid bilayer. Most of the fat absorbed from food is in the form of triglycerides, cholesterol, and phospholipids. Healthy fat is necessary to facilitate absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K) and carotenoids. Humans and other mammals have a dietary requirement for certain essential fatty acids, such as linoleic acid (an omega-6 fatty acid) and alpha-linolenic acid (an omega-3 fatty acid) because they cannot be synthesized from simple precursors in the diet. Both of these fatty acids are 18-carbon polyunsaturated fatty acids differing in the number and position of the double bonds. Most vegetable oils are rich in linoleic acid (safflower, sunflower, and corn oils). Alpha-linolenic acid is found in the green leaves of plants, and in selected seeds, nuts, and legumes (in particular flax, rapeseed, walnut, and soy). Fish oils are particularly rich in the longer-chain omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). A large number of studies have shown positive health benefits associated with consumption of omega-3 fatty acids on infant development, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and various mental illnesses, such as depression, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, and dementia. In contrast, it is now well established that consumption of trans fats, such as those present in partially hydrogenated vegetable oils, are a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Changing your oil by adding good oils and fats to your diet and removing the bad oils from your diet is essential to achieve optimal health. In order for you to improve the quality of your cell membranes, which is very important in recovery from most toxic exposure, you must change your bad oils and fat consumption and replace it with healthy oils intake.
Phosphatidyl choline, butyrate, balance oil and evening primrose oil are very important in restoring normal cell membrane function. I would like to point out that the human body is composed of millions of cells. Each cell has a cell membrane that has many important functions. Again these cell membranes are composed mostly of fat bilayer. If bad fats are incorporated in the cell membranes they disrupt the function of the cell membrane causing all sorts of medical problems leading to dis-ease and all ailment symptoms. Because every cell membrane is made of fat, if that incorporated fat in the cell membrane is bad that would explain why the symptoms of dis-ease seem to affect every organ system in the body.
Phosphatidyl choline, EPA, DHA, Evening primrose oil that provides us with GLA is an important in decreasing body inflammation.
