FLAX SEEDS -BEST SOURCE FOR OMEGA 3 FATTY ACIDS


Sources of Omega-3 Fatty Acids


There are three nutritionally significant omega-3 fatty acids which are extracted from different sources.

Alpha Linolenic Acid (ALA) obtained from plants
Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA)
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)
Out of the three, the later two are found in animals. ALA later gets metabolized to EPA and DHA. Recommended dietary intake of omega-3 fatty acids is suggested to be 1 - 2 g per day.

Plants sources of ALA:

Flaxseeds - They are known as alsi in Hindi, Aviselu in Telugu, and Agasi in Kannada. The oil extracted from these seeds is the richest source of ALA.

SOME RARE FACTS ON FLAX SEEDS IN TELUGU SCRIPT..
CLICK ON THE PICTURE TO GET LARGER VERSION.

Canola - The name canola comes from Canadian oil and is extracted from the seeds of a genetically engineered plant developed in Canada from the Rapeseed plant. The Rapeseed plant belongs to the mustard family. This is a cheaper alternative for ALA.

Soy beans - The oil extracted from these seeds also contains ALA but in a lesser concentration when compared to omega-6 fatty acids.

Perilla - This is an annual herb which belongs to the mint family.

Chia - It is a flowering plant native to central and southern Mexico and belongs to the mint family. Its seeds are used for extraction of oils. These seeds can also be taken raw. The sprouts of these seeds are very nutritious and taken as salads along with sandwiches. Soaked chia seeds can be used in porridges and puddings.

Hemp - Hemp is a common name used for Cannabis plant. These seeds can be consumed raw as sprouts or can be converted into milk similar to soy milk. This can be used to prepare hemp tofu or a non dairy ice-cream.

Walnuts - They can be directly consumed as they are rich source of omega-3 fatty acids. Walnuts are high in calories too. So moderation in consumption is advised.
Animal sources of ALA:

Few varieties of cold water fish have been found to be rich in ALA. They are Salmon, sardines, herring, mackerel etc. So the fish oils extracted from these sources can form an important component of our diet.
The thylakoid membranes of green plants with broad leaves also have a high proportion of ALA. Hence animals which consume these plants are also a good source of ALA.
Sources of Omega-6 Fatty Acids

Nutritionally significant omega-6 fatty acids are Linoleic acid and Arachidonic acid. They are also known as polyunsaturated fatty acids or PUFAs. The Linoleic acid gets converted to gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) within our body. They act as precursors for prostaglandins and are vital for healthy brain functioning.

Plant sources:

A large number of vegetable oils have been found to be rich in omega-6 fatty acids and few of them are:

Sunflower oil
Cotton seed oil
Safflower oil
Borage oil
Corn oil
Olive oil
Evening primrose oil
Note: Although these oils are rich in essential fatty acids it is advised to avoid the consumption of refined and hydrogenated versions of these oils as they are injurious to health.

Some other plant sources which are rich in omega-6 fatty acids are:

Pumpkin seeds
Pine Nuts
Corn
Animal sources:

Meat
Eggs
Other poultry products like chicken.
The Ratio of Omega-6 to Omega-3

Clinical studies have shown that maintenance of n-6 / n-3 ratio within the range of 1:1 to 1:4 is very essential for healthy heart condition and prevents inflammation which leads to type-2 diabetes. A large variety of diseases like cancer, arthritis, obesity, asthma, depression, are also associated with the imbalance in the ratio of n-6 / n-3. Although both are essential fats and have to be obtained from our diet, a search for healthier source of omega-6 fatty acids having a considerable amount of omega-3 fatty acid is advisable.

An individual's intake is expected to be higher in omega-3 fatty acids. This was possible in olden days when the availability of processed foods was less and people used to feed more on fresh vegetables and whole grains. Poultry animals and cattle used to graze on naturally available fresh grass and green leaves which are a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids. We used to get them naturally from animal products like meat, eggs, and milk. The modern man depends more on fast foods and almost every cereal, seed or grains of pulses are processed in many steps. At each step, food item becomes easier for consumption but at the cost of loss of certain vital nutrients. The food processing techniques increase the concentration of omega-6 fatty acids in the foods. The deep fried items like chips etc are prepared using vegetable oils. Hence it is advisable to take natural foods in the raw form.

Selection Criteria for Intake of Fats:

Avoid saturated fats as far as possible
Choice of an apt polyunsaturated fat is a wise decision to be taken
Try to take foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids like whole-grains, fresh fruits and vegetables.
Non-vegetarians can supplement their diet with fish.
Try to minimize the intake of processed and fast foods.

Protect Yourself From Deadliest Diseases by Food Tips


Prostate cancer is an odd disease... It's incredibly common and incredibly slow-growing. In fact, if men lived 120 years, nearly everyone would get it... But it's so slow-growing, most men who develop it die of something else - often without any clue their prostate was diseased.

But it's not harmless... Prostate cancer kills about 30,000 men a year. To protect yourself, I urge you to check for these classic symptoms:

- Frequent urination
- Hesitancy with urination (hard to get started)
- Erectile dysfunction
- Burning with urination
- Pain in the lower back
- Stiffness in the upper legs

If you have these symptoms and you're older than 55, see your doctor to discuss the possibility of prostate cancer.

Ask your doctor to do a digital rectal exam (DRE) - it's not quite as bad as it sounds, just awkward. They should also get the blood level of a molecule called "prostate specific antigen" (PSA). These tests are simple and inexpensive...

Once you have a baseline level of both your prostate anatomy and the PSA test, you can follow things over time. If your symptoms worsen, you can compare to the first test... if the doctor also finds a change, it's time for treatment.

The most important part is finding a doctor who has a good record of catching prostate cancer early. Call a couple local oncologists (cancer doctors) and find out who sends them the most prostate cancer patients. Yes, just call up and ask for the information.

Finally, you should do a couple other things to protect yourself:

Ejaculating more than 12 times a month lowers the risk... 21 times a month is thought to be ideal.
Exercise. Walking just 30 minutes a day lowers your cancer risk.
Vitamin D is associated with decreased cancer risks... get more sunlight
Eat foods known to reduce cancer risk like:
 - Tomatoes: high in lycopene, which reduces prostate cancer risk.
 - Vegetables: cabbage, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, onions, carrots, and parsley are known to lower cancer risks.
 - Green tea and even black tea have known antioxidant and anti-cancer properties (from epigallocatechin 3-gallate  or EGCG).

If you are diagnosed with prostate cancer, strongly consider robotic surgery. The outcomes are identical, but the robotic surgeries are safer with faster recoveries than conventional surgeries. It's also less painful. This site offers a list of urologists who use robotics for their surgery.

Finally, be sure to find a doctor open to nontraditional methods of nurturing prostate health. Certain herbs may play a role in prostate health, but not always. Since I last wrote about its proposed benefits, saw palmetto was determined to be no different than a placebo for a milder prostate disease known as "benign prostate hypertrophy" (fancy term for a swollen prostate)...

The bottom line: avoid doctors that laugh at the notion that herbs might have benefits. But be sure they know the current literature and studies and don't have any financial conflicts with your health.

One of Easiest Exercise to Boost your Health

I have a practice you can try most anywhere and anytime... in your work clothes, your gym clothes, even naked in bed. It's simple to do, but it takes a little time. And I mean just a little time - 12 minutes is all it takes!

If you want to quickly improve your health and happiness, this activity does it. The best part is it takes very little effort. Paradoxically, the less effort you exert, the more benefit accrues. Any guesses what it is?

It's meditation.


The power of meditation comes from the "relaxation response" it elicits. Meditation actually changes our physiology. During meditation, our brain waves convert to a pattern that is as deep, and in some ways deeper than, sleep. And it is also more restful and recharging than a nap. Meditation releases chemicals that are the direct opposite of the so-called "stress hormones." These chemicals and hormones trigger pathways of healing and regeneration.

Regular meditation practice lowers your heart rate and increases both your blood's oxygen saturation and the delivery of oxygen to tissues. This is the exact same benefit of exercise. A Scientific American article from 1963 showed yogis can actually lower their heart rates to one or two beats a minute by invoking this "relaxation response." Now that's what I call relaxed!

Perhaps the best part, meditation has benefits identical to exercise but without the wear, tear, and stress on your body that comes with training too hard. Meditation can also:

• Increase your powers of concentration
• Help you live longer
• Reduce the number of visits to your doctor
• Reduce the likelihood of an admission to the hospital
• Improve your fertility
• Boost your immune system
• Increase your serotonin (the chemical that counters depression)
• Lower blood pressure more than any known drug

Of course, as with any lifestyle change, it is only effective if you do it!

So if you're looking for a simple way to get the benefits of exercise without the wear and tear and huffing and puffing...learn to meditate and practice it regularly. You'll be amazed at how good you'll feel.
