Adding Tip #11 To Your List For Longevity Is Essential..
One extremely important compound our body absolutely needs is GLA.
What’s that? It can be found in the seeds of the evening primrose flower, in the borage plant, or in the sed of the black currant.
These are not everyday foods and you’re unlikely to prevent a GLA deficiency by just eating the right things alone.
That’s because when you’re young you can make your own. But what about when you’re getting older?
The omega-3 oils can be found in two forms. The vegetable based omega-3 is best supplied by capsules of flaxseed or linseed oil. No I don’t mean the furniture polish.
As for the lipid fatty fish oils, you don’t need to take cod live oil. Eating cold-water fish such as salmon, sardines, derring, mackerel, trout 2 to 3 times a week will take care of that.
The omega-3 oils are great for all types of cardiovascular conditioning, including blood pressure reduction and should be part of your diet for life.
I’m putting more emphasis on the omega-3 that other oils which provide omega-6 or 9. The 6 and 9 forms we have plently of, in fact we have an over abundance of them in our system. If you cook with canola or any other forms of oils you get the 6 and 9 in your diet.
I’m not even going to talk about the organic versus the other. We all know organic is superior.
Adding omega-3 to your diet can be as easy as eating that salmon for supper or popping that supplement first thing in the morning.
I prefer to do both. Making sure your supplement is from a source that has the lowest contamination possible of heavy metals is essential. Pick a source where the salmon or fish were caught in the artic ocean.
Deep and cold is where you want to go. Short of that, eat your flaxseeds and oil daily and add them to your salad or your shakes.
