Let's talk about seed oils a bit.

👉Seed oils such as cottonseed, corn, soy, sunflower, safflower, peanut and canola oil are great for you - IF your goal is INCREASED
✅INFLAMMATION
✅ARTERY DISEASE
✅CANCER
✅DEMENTIA
✅AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES
✅DEGENERATIVE JOINT DISEASE, just to name a few.
👉These seed oils, rich in omega-6 fatty acids, drive a process in your body that is very PRO-INFLAMMATORY.
👉Our bodies do need omega-6 fatty acids, but they need to be balanced with healthy omega-3 fatty acids.
👉Omega-3 fatty acids, found largely in salmon, flax and chia seeds, provide our bodies with the balance necessary for proper function.
👉We should maintain a maximum 3:1 ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids, and the average American is walking around at a 25:1 ratio or higher - THIS IS BAD!!!
👉The ANSWER: reduce the amount of dietary omega-6 fatty acids by avoiding products that contain seed oils and increase dietary omega-3 fatty acids by including fatty fish like salmon AND taking a daily fish oil supplement. You'll want to aim for 2,000 mg/day of EPA, one of the key omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil.
👉👉👉By far, Orthomega fish oil from Ortho Molecular Products is my favorite fish oil product, and you can find it at Precision Chiropractic.👈👈👈

Eight Healthy Habits Linked To Living Decades Longer

1 Healthy Diet - "mostly whole foods"
2 Physical Activity - regular moderate exercise
3 Sleep - sleeping well "7 to 9 hours per night"
4 Mental Health - managing stress
5 Relationships - maintaining positive social relationships
6 Alcohol use - minimal
7 Smoking - never smoking
8 Opioid use - not having opioid use disorder

These eight habits were correlated with a lower risk of dying from any cause.
Men who adopted all eight habits by the age of 40 would live 24 years longer.
Women who adopted all eight habits by the age of 40 would live 23 years longer.
“If people implemented the habits by the age of 60, they could extend their lives by up to 18 years.”
“These eight lifestyle factors don’t involve medications.”
“Doctors don’t necessarily need to be involved.”
“This is very powerful because it shows that individuals really can have a say over their future health.”

Bonus points if anyone can name the man on Kevin's shirt. And no, it's not Phil Robertson.
