The Omega Diet
by Artemis P. Simopoulos, M.D.
This book follows along the same path as Dr. Gundry’s dietary program. The premise that we have allowed the food industry to make changes to our food supply without understanding the consequences. These consequences include increased rates of heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes, arthritis, autoimmune disorders, depression, schizophrenia, alzheimers, etc...
MOST OF THESE CONDITIONS ARE PREVENTABLE AND REVERSIBLE
The typical western diet contains a 20:1 ratio of omega 6 to omega 3 which is directly linked to the above conditions. Our health is best when we have a balanced ratio of these two essential fatty acids (EFA).
Omega 6 - corn, safflower, cottonseed, and sunflower oils
Omega 3 - seafood, green leafy vegetables, cold water fish, canola oil, and walnuts
Eating a balanced ratio of EFA’s is the way humans have been eating for thousands of years and will bring your diet back in sync with your genes.
Dr. Simopoulos gives & guidelines to improve your diet and health.
This is an extremely well researched book. Dr. Simopoulos is the president of the Center for Genetics, Nutrition, and Health. She has descriptions and study listings in the appendix. She also has many recipes, meal plans, shopping lists, among other resources that increase your chances of success. If you suffer from any of the previous conditions I would highly recommend this book.
