Omega-3 fatty acids can limit the inflammation that is the
underlying cause of many severe diseases of modern civilization,
including diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The Omega-Factor:
Promoting Health, Preventing Premature Aging and Reducing the Risk
of Sudden Cardiac Death presents information on the mechanisms
whereby inflammation damages organs and the blood vessels serving
them, as well as the hard science on the mechanisms by which the
omega-3 fatty acids protect those tissues. It also features
peer-reviewed evidence from clinical trials on these topics. The
book gives cutting-edge information from state-of-the-art
developments such as the test that can be done to measure the Omega
3 status of one's own tissues, the "Omega 3 Index", which can give
many years of early warning so that one can take preventive steps
and decrease the odds of a heart attack, stroke, or kidney disease.
It explains why a Mediterranean diet plan rich in omega 3 and omega
6 fatty acids is protective, and it features a six-day meal plan
with recipes that will improve body levels of omega 3s. This book
helps readers understand the differences between various sources of
omega-3 fatty acids, namely flax seed vs. fish oil vs.
algae-derived oils. Features: * Provides evidence-based information
on why blood vessels require omega-3 fatty acids to maintain
health. * Details best sources of the various fatty acids,
including plant-based sources. * Includes "at-home tests" to assess
cardiovascular status. * Presents literature to how to improve
chances of avoiding heart attacks, peripheral arterial disease,
strokes, kidney disease, and Type-2 Diabetes. The Omega-Factor:
Promoting Health, Preventing Premature Aging and Reducing the Risk
of Sudden Cardiac Death is an essential resource for healthcare
professionals, clinicians, and dietitians, as well as for the
reader who aims to achieve the goal of a much longer health-span,
not just a longer lifespan.
