Omega 3 and vitamin D secrets! How do you obtain a healthy level of Omega 3 and vitamin D these days? I eat wild fish, free range eggs and grass fed meat weekly and I take fish supplements daily so why should I be concerned about a healthy level of these lipids? According to some doctors involved in the research of these important lipids it seems we have reached a worldwide vitamin D deficiency of epidemic proportions with more than 1 billion people at risk for associated illnesses. What are these associated illnesses? According to scientific research lack of these important lipids cause oxidative stress or inflammation at the cellular level. Most of our serious illnesses related to heart, arteries, arthritis, osteoporosis, lung, asthma, diabetes, kidney, eyes, cancer etc and the not so serious illnesses such as dry skin, dry hair, bleeding gums, depression, digestive problems, pain, hearing loss etc seem to develop because of oxidative stress or inflammation at the cellular level. Add fertility problems, autism and birth complications and... What is a healthy level of these important lipids and how can I be sure that I have a healthy level of these lipids? This is what a doctor in biochemistry at a university in the USA discovered back in the 1940s. For whatever reasons his important discovery and solution to obtain a healthy level of Omega 3 and vitamin D plus the other lipids has remained a secret to most people. Doctors in the early years of 1900 considered the skin a barometer for the body’s health. Dry skin or rather dry cells in the skin was an indication of a dry body or dry cells in the body. For them this was considered a sign of an unhealthy body with the risk of associated illnesses. These days the doctors do not use the skin in the same way to judge the health condition any longer. They use blood tests instead to determine the health status and still most of us have dry skin and body due to lack of the lipids Omega 3 and vitamin A and D. New research from some universities in the USA and Europe seems to conclude that you need up to 10 times the current daily recommendation of the oil soluble vitamin D to prevent some of the most serious illnesses we are facing today. If you have reach the stage of some dry skin patches on your body you most likely have much more than dry skin on your body. You might have reached some dryness in all the approximately 100 trillions of cells throughout your body. All the cells in your body need lipids or lubrication i.e. your skin, your nails, your hair, your eyes, your ears, your joints, your bones, your digestion, your muscles, your nerves, your brain, your lungs, your hearth, your blood vessels and your blood cells etc, but you see and feel the lack of the important lipids best with your skin. The skin is the organ in your body which gives up the important lipids first. Serious illnesses can take many years to reach a measureable level so it is important to correct dry skin and body as early as possible with the essential fatty acid Omega 3 and the oil soluble vitamin D plus the other oil soluble vitamins to start a healing process at the cellular level to prevent the development of illness. Without proper lubrication the arteries are also slowly losing their elasticity and become hard and brittle, increasing the risk for possible hearth problems. Dry skin can also be an early warning signal the blood cells and blood plasma are slowly drying out and loosing the lubrication that allows the red blood cells to circulate freely into the smallest capillaries feeding each cell. Cancer is another illness where the lipids play a very import role and according to some reports natural occurring vitamin D is one of the most powerful cancer fighter ever discovered. Rickets or softening of the bones was at a time a widespread illness related to lack of the oil soluble vitamin D. These days we have another widespread serious bone related illness with bone fractures and osteoporosis. Vitamin D plays an important role in the strength of the bones. When the joints start to dry out you might end up with inflammatory arthritis which can be a painful inflammation reaction at the cellular level. The cell membranes need water and what is defined as essential fatty acid Omega 3 and the oil soluble vitamin D plus other lipids and nutrients. You discover it normally first by dry and flaky skin on hands, face, legs and hard skin on the heel of your feet and then gradually the skin in your face start to dry out and wrinkle. The drying out of the skin or the cell membranes in the cells of the skin is the dryness we see, but the dryness is much more than skin deep as the lack of the correct lipids affects every cell in the body. Why do you not hear more about the correct use of these important lipids which can prevent dry skin and body and can relive or cure so many illnesses, you might think or ask? The newspapers, magazines and other news channels are full of information about food or supplements rich in Omega 3 and vitamin D, but does it work? If the information regarding food and supplements had been correct and working the list of illness should be much shorter and not increasing! When it comes to the use of natural medicines, natural medicines are no different than modern medicine. You need to know how to use natural medicine correctly to obtain the stated benefit. The information or guidance on the use of natural medicine is normally based on many years of use. The information has stayed in the families involved in the healing arts of herbs and natural medicines for many generations. The good thing with most natural medicines is that it contains no chemical toxins. We try perhaps to eat fish each week or to take fish supplements as we know fish is a good source of these lipids, but rarely do we see or feel any difference in our skin after eating the fish or taking the supplements. The same happens when we eat other food also rich in these lipids. No difference. We might also try to spend more time in the sun, to produce vitamin D in our skin, but... So what can we do to get more of the healthy lipids into our cells in the skin and the other trillions of cells in the body? With his research, the doctor discovered that very little of the important lipids in marine oil or food rich in these lipids would reach all the cells in the skin and body with the normal method of eating and drinking. As soon as we understand how our modern way of life have influenced our digestion, absorption and transport of the essential fatty acid Omega 3 and the oil soluble vitamin D in the body, compared to previous generations, it should be easier to understand why we get dry skin and body these days. With this knowledge, it should also be easier to understand what you need to do to obtain a healthy level of Omega 3 and vitamin D together with the other oil soluble vitamins to correct or avoid dry skin and body, and the associated illnesses. With this information your starting question could be: What changes have we made to our way of living compared to previous generations which give us a lack of the essential fatty acids Omega 3 and the oil soluble vitamin D? The good thing with the doctor`s method to obtain a healthy level of Omega 3 and vitamin A & D and the other lipids the natural way is that you can both feel and see the progress with the lipid supplementation in your skin. When you have reached the stage of soft moist skin the small wrinkles which come with dry skin might also slowly soften and disappear, if they are not too deep. Over time you might also start to feel improvements inside your body which should be much more important for your health than the improvement you will see and feel on your skin.
