hi guys dr. Berg here in this short video we’re gonna talk about omega-3s okay omega-3 fatty acids are essential fatty acids which means they must be gotten from the diet your body can’t make these fats okay real simply there’s DHA good for the brain the eye and the heart okay so DHA what is like food for the brain especially and because the eye is an extension of the brain it’s good for that too and as well as the heart you can get it from fish fish oils here a vegan algae eggs pasture-raised Organic of course grass-fed beef and there’s quite a few other foods but DHA is really important if you have any type of dementia or memory issues okay then you have EPA now that’s good for the eye the heart and it’s a great anti-inflammatory but it’s also good for other things as well but these are the main things right here you’d get it from the same thing fish fish oil fatty fish by the way algae pasteurized eggs grass-fed beef alright and then there’s something called ala that’s good for the heart cognitive function the brain and it’s a good anti-inflammatory so you would get this essential fatty acid from flax Chia and walnut there’s other things as well but these are the ones that have higher amounts the problem is that when you buy the oils and you expose this delicate oil to oxygen it oxidizes really fast it goes rancid really fast the best thing to do is to grind it yourself or consume some high quality oil that is in a dark bottle that’s really really fresh now there is some data out there that this fatty acid will convert to epa and DHA but only 0. 1 to 0. 5% it’s less than 1% so if your body is stressed or sick in any way you’re not going to convert this fat into these at all so just make sure that you’re getting all your omega-3 if you’re a vegetarian get it from the algae but also make sure you get the AL ed from flax or Chia or walnuts all right thanks for watching hey thank you so much for watching keep spreading the word and share this video
