The 4 things you need to know about nutrition

We have heard thousands of things that we have to remember about nutrition. Do we want to improve our health? Here are the 4 things you need to know about nutrition. 1. Omega-3 Fats are Crucial Omega-3 fatty acids are very important for the proper functioning of the human body. For example, DHA, an animal-derived omega-3 fatty acid, makes up about 40% of the polyunsaturated fats in the brain. Being deficient in Omega-3 (very common) is associated with lower IQ, depression, various mental disorders, heart disease and many other serious illnesses. There are three main sources of omega-3 fats… ALA (from mostly plants), DHA and EPA (from animals). The plant form, ALA, needs to get transformed into DHA or EPA in order to function properly in the human body. There is some evidence that this conversion process is ineffective in humans. Therefore, it is best to get omega-3 fats from animal sources… Including fish, grass-fed meat, eggs or fish oil. A large portion of the population is Omega-3 deficient. Avoiding a deficiency of these essential fatty acids can help prevent many diseases. 2. Refined carbs are terrible There are a lot of different opinions about carbs and fats. Some think fat is the root of all evil, while others believe carbohydrates are the key players in obesity and other chronic diseases. But what almost everyone agrees is that refined carbohydrates are at least worse than unrefined (complex) carbohydrates. There are some nutrie carbohydrate-rich foods (such as grains) that may be beneficial. However, when grains are processed, most of the nutrients are gone and then nothing is left but large amounts of easily digestible glucose. Eating refined carbohydrates will cause rapid spikes in blood sugar, followed by a rise in insulin in the blood which triggers fat storage and contributes to insulin resistance and various diseases such as obesity and diabetes. Refined carbohydrates such as processed grains are unhealthy. They lack nutrients and lead to rapid spikes in blood sugar and insulin, which can cause all kinds of problems down the line. 3.
