The medically proven diet that restores your body's essential nutritional balance "Good fats"--essential fatty acids--influence every aspect of our being, from the beating of our hearts to our ability to learn to remember. There are two types of essential fatty acids (EFAs), omega-6 and omega-3. The problem with our modern diet is that it contains far more omega-6 fatty acids than omega-3s. This hidden imbalance makes us more vulnerable to heart disease, cancer, obesity, autoimmmune diseases, allergies, diabetes, and depression. The Omega Diet is a natural, time-tested diet that balances the essential fatty acids in your diet. It is packed with delicious food that contain the "good" fats, including real salad dressing, cheese, eggs, fish--even the occasional chocolate dessert--and an abundance of antioxidant-rich fruits, vegetables, and legumes. The Omega Diet provides: seven simple dietary guidelines for optimal physical and mental health a concise guide to the foods you need to restore your body's nutritional balance a diet plan that lets you eat fat as you lose fat fifty delicious recipes that are quick and easy to prepare a comprehensive three-week menu to help you get started Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

The plan is based on the centuries-old traditional diet of Crete, which contains about four times more omega-3 fat than omega-6 fat. Our modern diet contains too much omega-6 fat and not enough omega-3 fat. This imbalance of essential fatty acids in our modern diet has been linked to the prevalence of our modern diseases - heart disease, cancer, autoimmune diseases, allergies, diabetes and depression. Many scientific studies are cited to support these claims, and footnotes are given for these studies for those who want further information. There are lists of suggested reading, for the lay readers and for medical professionals.
