Omega-3 fats are grabbing headlines all over the world because of their amazing health benefits. These special fats supercharge our health, battle inflammation and keep our minds sharp. Learn what industrious worker bees Omega-3 fats are in maintaining the health of our brains, eyes, heart, and bones. In addition, TheUltimate Omega-3 Diet is the first book to offer simple, practical steps for striking the proper balance between miraculous omega-3 fats and the less-healthy omega-6 fats.

The typical Western diet (pattern of eating) delivers a double whammy: insufficient Omega-3 fats and too many omega-6 fats. The consequence is we suffer from many chronic diseases from osteoporosis to inflammation disorders, which can’t be cured simply by reaching for a fish oil supplement. Too much omega-6 fat in the diet can be just as bad as too much saturated fat—both interfere with the benefits of Omega-3 fats!

Learn how Omega-3 fats are such powerful heart protectors that the American Heart Association recommends eating fish twice a week—and taking daily fish oil supplements if you already have heart disease. Omega 3-fats profoundly benefit our arteries and blood system, helping blood flow efficiently, lowering blood pressure and preventing blood clots.

We like this book because it is filled with convincing, easy-to-understand science supporting the importance of Omega-3 fats to our overall health. The Ultimate Omega-3 Diet is one of the first books ever to take a stand about the harmful effects of excess omega-6 fats. It provides the reader with seven days’ worth of menus based on different lifestyle themes showing a balanced ratio of omega-6 to Omega-3 fats. (Remember, the lower the ratio, the lower the risk of disease.)

The Ultimate Omega-3 Diet comes into the kitchen with a handy list of staples to stock the pantry, refrigerator and freezer, along with forty recipes showing how easy it is to omega-optimize our eating patterns. Our favorites include Fluffy Flax ButtermilkPancakes, Omega Kidney Bean Salad, Double Streusel Coffee Cake, Orzo Pasta Salad, Salmon with Parmesan-Olive Topping, and Incredible Omega Brownies.

Are you ready to elevate your mood, boost your body’s disease-prevention power and improve your overall health? The Ultimate Omega-3 Diet , then, is —a must
