OMEGA-3 FATTY ACIDS: WHAT ARE THEY AND WHY DO I NEED THEM?
This presentation will review: -- the history of how this important element in human diet diminished in the U.S. diet over the last century; -- the results of this trend; -- the research that brought the problem to light; and -- how you, the eater, can remedy the situation for your own better health. As participants, you will have a chance to evaluate your own diets in terms of the balance between your omega-3 fatty acid intake and your omega-6 fatty acid intake. The importance of this balance comes from inflammation, a condition which, researchers maintain, promotes illnesses such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes, cancer, depression and probably auto-immune diseases. How this “imbalance” came about is tightly tied to the history of U.S. agriculture and the development of industrial-scale food production. It is an interesting story, often with very personal health implications. Rosalind Michahelles, D.Soc., Certified Holistic Health Counselor, Cambridge. A member of the American Association of Drugless Practitioners and a graduate of the Institute for Integrative Nutrition -- affiliated with Teachers College/Columbia University -- I coach those who want to change what they eat in order to feel healthier. I am happy to work with clients of all ages. My specializations are migraine and weight loss, but I welcome clients with any issue that can be ameliorated through diet and life-style changes.
