Can fruits help optimize your omega-6 to omega-3 ratio? As Dr. Rick Dina talks more about the importance of a healthy omega-6/omega-3 essential fatty acids ratio, he opens up about testing for DHA level to try answering the question in a nutshell. The good thing is that previously, Dr. Rick tested his wife, himself, and Robby Barbaro for their DHA level. The results were impressive and he credits a raw vegan, whole food, plant-based diet. So what gives? Check out the conversation for more about the healthy fats you need.
Notes: Omega-6s and omega-3s don’t have the same effects on the body. According to science, omega-6s are pro-inflammatory, while omega-3s are anti-inflammatory. Undoubtedly, inflammation is essential for survival as it helps protect the body from infection and injury. But it can also cause severe damage and contribute to some diseases. The thing is, western diets have excessive amounts of omega-6 fatty acids and are deficient in omega-3 fatty acids. Studies show that this kind of ratio in our nutrition promotes the risks of many diseases, including cardiovascular disease, cancer, and inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. What's more, increased levels of omega-3 or a lower omega-6/omega-3 ratio, exert suppressive effects.
Dr. Rick Dina, D.C. became interested in nutrition in 1986 and has been studying and practicing raw plant-based nutrition since 1987. He worked at Hippocrates Health Institute and for the Juiceman before entering Life Chiropractic College in 1993. After graduating in 1997, he practiced at True North Health Center from 1997 until 2001, helping patients recover from high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, autoimmune diseases and other nutritionally related health challenges with fasting and whole food plant-based nutrition. After teaching at Bastyr University, Rick maintained a private chiropractic and nutrition practice from 2003 until 2008 in San Rafael, CA, with his wife Dr. Karin Dina, D.C. ([ Ссылка ])
