Eating-Veggies.com: High Alkaline Diet blog

After all of the research that i have done and all the hours of reading, i am beginning to believe that most of the health problems in the modern world may be connected to our high consumption of Omega 6 fats and our low consumption of Omega 3 fats. We eat way too much omega-6 fats such as corn oil, sunflower oil and soybean oil. Americans are in love with deep fried junk foods and fat-filled fast foods. Inflammation is a condition that can be found in the joints, cardiovascular system and the brain. These Omega 6 fats are pro-inflammatory and can wreak havoc in the body when not eaten in equal balance with Omega 3 fats. Most people are walking around in a very pro-inflammatory state. This condition breeds disease.

Many of the food companies are selling food products with added Omega 3 fats. The marketing sells the healthy benefits of the Omega 3 fat naturally found in fish, flaxseed and green leafy vegetables, among many other sources. Even with these additions, it would be best to also reduce your intake of processed and fast foods. These foods are very high in omega 6 fat. Replacing these foods with healthy alkaline vegetables and fruit will help improve your quality of life and overall health. Walnuts are also a very good source of omega 3 fats.

Eating a high alkaline foods diet rich in Omega 3 fats (such as the Mediteranean diet) can help your body fight off a variety of crippling diseases. A study recently completed at University Hospitals Case Medical Center looked at how supplementation with fish oil may affect the progression of Alzheimer's disease. Alzheimer's, researchers have found that high doses of DHA found in Omega 3 fats may prevent the formation of the plaque in the brain that some believe cause loss of memory and disease progression and also help prevent the brain inflammation that is associated with the disease.
