Balancing your omega-6 fatty acids and omega-3 fatty acids can be complicated, but it's crucial for your health. Let me break it down for you.

Let's talk about how to balance your ratio of omega-fatty acids and why you need to do this in the first place. The average person's diet is way too high in omega-6 fatty acids and too low in omega-3 fatty acids. The ideal ratio of omega-6 fatty acids to omega-3 fatty acids is 1:1. However, the average ratio of these fatty acids for Americans is about 20:1. If you're deficient in omega-3 fatty acids, you could have cognitive issues or problems with your eyes. Men may also experience problems with low testosterone and fertility. Having high omega-6 fatty acids and low omega-3 fatty acids may potentially lead to: • Stiff red blood cells • Thick blood • Obesity (visceral fat) • Insulin resistance or diabetes • Inflammation • Thrombus • Vasospasm • Vasoconstriction The best and easiest way to balance your omega-6 to omega-3 ratio is to increase your omega-3 fatty acids. Adding omega-3 fatty acids to your diet is even more important than removing the omega-6 fatty acids. Both fish oil and cod liver oil are great sources of omega-3 fatty acids. But, cod liver oil also has vitamin D and vitamin A. Algae is an excellent vegan source of omega-3 fatty acids. Here are a few more ways to balance this ratio: • Replace your salad dressing with olive oil • Avoid fried foods from restaurants • Consume fatty fish 2 to 3 times per week • Consume grass-fed beef • Limit the amount of chicken and grain-fed animal products you consume • Consume walnuts Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio: Dr. Berg, age 57, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

The TRUE Reason Food Dyes Stay Legal in the US (But Banned in Europe)

Toxic drugs are classified as pharmaceutical grade, but what about artificial food coloring? Food dyes are certified for use, but often contain more toxic byproducts than pharmaceutical medications. Find out about the dangers of food dyes! Watch this episode next: Reset Your Body in 5 Days (With Zero Food) [https://open.spotify.com/episode/4oKZ046rIAE3zwxDb06ZaO] 0:00 Introduction: Food dyes classification 0:13 The dangers of food dyes 0:53 Food dye side effects 1:43 Natural food coloring 2:32 Are all synthetic food dyes bad? 2:45 Methylene blue vs. artificial food coloring 3:53 The problem with artificial food dyes There are more toxic byproducts in food dyes than in many drugs. These synthetic food colorants have never been tested long-term for biological effects in humans! Many food dyes have been banned in Europe, but are still used in the U.S. Junk food industries that sell products with food dyes are heavily self-regulated, so the FDA allows them to perform their own studies. In 2021, there was a petition to ban red dye number 3 in cosmetics because it's a carcinogen even in small amounts, but it can still be found in your child’s cereal. Artificial food coloring has been shown to cause hyperactivity in children and other neurological issues. Food dyes are often used for their psychological effects. Studies have shown that people will choose to eat more of a food because of its color. Natural pigments in our food have antioxidant properties, anti-inflammatory effects, help protect your cells, and protect the mitochondria. You can also get these phytonutrients when you consume grass-fed beef or lamb. Methylene blue is a synthetic, petroleum-based food dye that benefits your health. It was one of the first drugs ever developed, and unlike other artificial food dyes, methylene blue is pharmaceutical grade. It’s been used for Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, bladder infections, cancer, and more. Methylene blue is chemically different from other artificial food dyes. It helps give the body energy, even when there’s damage to the mitochondria. It’s beneficial for degenerative neurological disorders and reduces oxidative stress associated with cancer and mitochondrial damage. Artificial food coloring does not have the benefits of the pigments found naturally in food. They don’t act as antioxidants or reduce inflammation in the body. They damage the mitochondria, and they don’t have nutritional cofactors. Artificial food dyes have been linked to ADD and tumors in rats. They can cause leaky gut, and their effects are worsened when combined with preservatives and other food chemicals. Some food dyes are bioaccumulative, which means they build up in the body. The kidneys effectively eliminate methylene blue, so it doesn’t accumulate. Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio: Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

Reboot Your Body in 5 Days (With Zero Food)

What happens when you fast for 5 days? Will you starve? Find out about the benefits of prolonged fasting and how it can be one of the most powerful things you can do for your health. Discover expert tips to make the most of your 5-day fast! Watch this episode next: Reset Your Body in 5 Days (With Zero Food) [https://open.spotify.com/episode/4oKZ046rIAE3zwxDb06ZaO] 0:00 Introduction: Fasting benefits 0:49 How prolonged fasting works 2:32 Prolonged fasting tips 4:52 Autophagy explained 5:44 Day 3 of a 5-day fast 10:47 Day 4 of a 5-day fast 13:35 Refeeding 14:50 5-day fast benefits Discover 25 ways to induce autophagy with this free resource: https://drbrg.co/45VOz3B Learn the basics on intermittent fasting with this FREE mini course: https://drbrg.co/47si1Ag Refuel your body the right way with this comprehensive list of nutrient-dense foods: https://drbrg.co/4oyfdHV On day 1 of fasting, glycogen is eliminated from the body. Your insulin drops on your first day of fasting, allowing you to tap into your fat reserve. Electrolytes, trace minerals, and B vitamins can be very beneficial during prolonged fasting, especially if you haven’t built up a reserve of these nutrients. You can drink tea and coffee without cream or sugar and have water with lemon during your 5-day fast. Plenty of sun, long walks in nature, hot and cold therapy, and HIIT can also enhance the benefits of prolonged fasting. On day 2 of prolonged fasting, you get deeper into ketosis, which means your body burns fat for energy. Autophagy typically begins on the second day of prolonged fasting. This is the process in which the body recycles damaged proteins and uses them for fuel and new tissues. On day 3, brain function and mood continue to improve. BDNF is stimulated, which helps support brain cell regeneration and increases your learning capacity. You also enter a state of deep autophagy, which helps repair mitochondrial damage and clean up intracellular pathogens. On day 3 of a prolonged fast, your immune system essentially resets. Prolonged fasting supports the growth of the thymus gland and allows the gut lining to regenerate completely. People often experience a massive spike in growth hormone on day 3, which protects against muscle loss. On day 4, hunger is gone, and maximum fat burning occurs! Bone broth can be beneficial if you’re struggling through a 5-day fast or experiencing a stressful event. Longevity and protective genes are heightened, and your antioxidant networks are strengthened during prolonged fasting. It can also help diversify your microbiome. Slowly begin the refeeding process with around ¼ of your typical calories. Try an egg with sauerkraut, and then wait a few hours before consuming something like a small amount of soup with avocado. After a few more hours, consume berries and nuts. Wait before introducing a full meal and avoid sugar and carbohydrates. High-quality food is vital at this time! After a 5-day fast, your skin, muscles, joints, and brain will show significant improvements! Regular intermittent fasting can help prepare you for a 5-day fast.
