Kitchen Balance: Cracking the Omega Code
Manage episode 515206866 series 3634934
π§© The great fat puzzle solved! Why inflammation runs wild in modern bodies.
Join hosts Meera and Ashok Vasudevan as they crack "The Omega Mystery" - how the delicate balance of essential fats in our diet got completely flipped over the past century.
The Great Imbalance: A century ago, our omega-6 to omega-3 ratio was a healthy 4:1. Today it's a staggering 20:1! This dramatic shift toward inflammatory fats while omega-3s disappeared from our plates is connected to widespread inflammation issues.
What Caused the Flip: Industrial seed oils (soybean, corn, canola) became cheap and infiltrated everything from salad dressings to bread. Meanwhile, traditional omega-3 sources like walnuts, flax seeds, and grass-fed foods became less common.
Your Kitchen Rebalancing Act: β Smart oil swaps that don't compromise flavor β Sneaky ways to add omega-3s to family favorites
β Traditional fats that restore ancient balance
β Simple homemade alternatives to processed foods
β Budget-friendly options for better omega ratios
Discover how to transform your kitchen into an anti-inflammatory pharmacy using delicious, whole foods that naturally restore the omega balance your body craves!
