Part III: Physical Stresses that Activate the FAT Programs

on most of my food throughout the day. You can put them on almost anything—even dessert—for a nice nutty taste and texture. • Eat more fish , especially coldwater fish, and fish caught in the wild as opposed to “farmed” or aqua-cultivated fish. And less cooking the better. If you deep fry fish, you are left with no semblance of usable omega-3s. As it is, you are lucky to retain about 30 percent of the oils, no matter how you cook it. Also, if the fish is farmed, the oil is higher in omega-6 fatty acids and lower in omega-3s. 5 Interestingly, when a 115-year-old Danish woman was asked what her secret was to such a long life, she said that she made it a point to have at least one piece of herring a day. • Eat organic meat and organic dairy foods from grass-fed animals. If the animal is not grass-fed, then the fat is all sat- urated fat , not essential fats , so this only applies to grass-fed meat and dairy products. • Use omega-3-enriched eggs . These are eggs that are pro- duced by chickens that have been fed flaxseeds. Boiled eggs have more uncorrupted omega-3s than fried eggs because the temperature of boiling water is lower. I recommend that in addition to eating more of these foods every day, you also supplement your diet with five to ten grams of omega-3 capsules. It sounds like a lot, but 10 grams of essential fat only translates to 100 calories of fat. That’s less fat than what is contained in a small serving of potato chips. The difference here is that this extra fat is the kind your body is starving for. You also need to have a good source of vitamin E when you are taking omega-3 fatty acids because it helps eliminate the toxic effect of eating corrupted or rancid oil. One way or another, I get my omega-3s. I find a way. This has to be a daily thing—it’s a must! It takes time to override the ill effects caused by years of being chronically starved for omega-3 fatty acids. In order to communicate to your body that omega-3s are abundant and that they will always be available, never miss a single day.
