Recently, I stumbled upon an enlightening piece discussing the inflammatory effects of Omega 6 on our bodies. It’s alarming to realize that this essential fatty acid, abundant in cooking oils like sunflower seed oil and canola oil, could be contributing to issues like flaky skin and other dermatological concerns.
Take Yunhan, for instance. She’s a fan of deep-fried and fast foods, often prepared using these Omega 6-rich oils. Sadly, she finds herself scratching her skin incessantly the day after indulging in such meals.
In light of this revelation, it’s time for a change. We’re opting for olive oil as our primary cooking oil, renowned for its higher Omega 3 content. Additionally, incorporating more salmon into our diet or even supplementing with cod liver oil, rich in Omega 3 fatty acids, seems like a prudent move. Unlike Omega 6, Omega 3 possesses remarkable anti-inflammatory properties, promising to counterbalance the inflammatory substances in our bodies.
This dietary shift marks just the beginning of our journey towards better health. We’re committed to monitoring our food choices more closely, prioritizing those that promote harmony within our bodies. Stay tuned for updates on our progress. Together, let’s strive for optimal well-being!
