9.6: health/diet/how vegans are more prone to bleeding:
9.10: summary:
. vegans seem more prone to bleeding;
Sears's zone diet research suggests
that there is greater risk of bleeding
when taking high-dose fish oil,
because the omega-3 oil EPA
greatly exceeds the balancing effects of
arachidonic acid (AA) omega-6 oil.
. it is quite likely that the converse is true,
those with very low levels of AA,
are going to have a bloody EPA/AA ratio
even if their EPA is not high.
. one of the richest sources of AA is egg yolk,
and AA may be why a 2018 study showed
Chinese eating one yolk daily can
reduce their risk of bleeding death.
. a great vegan source for both protein
and the omega-6 that may be converted to AA,
is chickpeas (1.1g omega-6 per 100g);
of course, nuts and seeds
are the richest source of omega-6
other than processed oils.
. chia seeds and walnuts are balanced:
chia: 5.8g omega-6, 17.5g omega-3.
walnuts: 38g omega-6, 9g omega-3;
walnuts are rich in polyphenols too.

#cashews #lectins #diet @DrGundry
8.14: health/diet/lectins/cashews:
summary:
. cashews seemed to be a good nut
except they inflamed my mouth;
but Dr. Steven Gundry claims
they are related to legumes
and have the same toxic lectins;
although he also said
the toxicity of legumes can be reduced
by heating them in a pressure cooker,
although he didn't say that applied to cashews.

chia is healthy snack food
10.26: news.health/chia/fiber-carb ratio:
. did you see chia's fiber/carb ratio?
one way to highlight that is
give it in terms of % daily value:
20%/2%
.20/.02 = 10 .
10.27:
... what is the soluble-insoluble ratio ?
10.27: health/chia's soluble fiber:
. chia is a great snack food
because it's tastes like a grain
that can be eaten raw,
yet has a soluble fiber content similar to beans .
0.7 grams of soluble fiber per 15 g chia:
0.7 soluble fiber =
4.1 gm total Fiber - 3.4 g Insoluble Fiber
. compared to bean fibers (per cup/2 dried):
red: 2.0 sol, -- 7.9 total, 5.9 insol .
navy: 2.2 sol, -- 6.5 total, 4.3 insol .
black: 2.4 sol, -- 6.1 total, 3.7 insol .
rich in mucilloid soluble fiber:
If you leave Chia in water for 30 minutes
the glass will appear to contain
an almost solid gelatin,
absorbing more than 12 times its weigh in water .
"( Excessive consumption of flax [or chia] seeds
with inadequate water
can cause bowel obstruction. )
. chia's fat has more omega-3 than omega-6
unlike most grains, nuts, and seeds;
Grains are seeds of plants belonging to the grass family.
(members of the monocot families Poaceae or Gramineae)
chia is a pseudocereal .
per 100g chia the fat composition is (grams):
3.2 sat, 2.1 mono, 5.8 poly(18:2), 17.5 poly(18:3)
compare 100g salmon:
0.9 sat, 2.1 mono, 0.8 poly(18:2), 0.3 poly(18:3)
0.3 poly(20:5 -- epa )
0.3 poly(22:5 -- dpa )
1.115 poly(22:6 -- dha)
reading the usda charts:
18:3 means 18 carbons with 3 double bonds .
omega-3 vs -6: means
A double bond is located on the 3rd vs 6th
carbon–carbon bond,
counting from the terminal methyl carbon
toward the carbonyl carbon.
For example, alpha-Linolenic acid
is classified as an omega-3 fatty acid .
18:3 vs 18:2
alpha-Linolenic acid (ALA) 18:3 (n-3)
Linoleic acid (LA) 18:2(n-6) -- omega-6 fatty acid.
. keep in mind that omega-3's are
poly's (polyunsaturates) -- they are
easily increasing your free radical load
and causing oxidative stresses (rapid aging)
while not being easily converted by your body
into the healthy fish oils .
. while poly's do have anti-cancer effects,
a more heart-friendly anti-cancer strategy
is high-dosing the non-toxic form of selenium
and avoiding the moldy grains
that are folded into fast foods .
. worse news for poly's, [2014.6.30: later retracted]
macular degeneration (leading cause age-related blindness)
and male prostate cancer,
were more likely with high levels of ALA,
the omega-3 plentiful in chia .
. while ALA is an essential fatty acid,
only very small quantities are required,
and should be mixed with
antioxidant herbs like rosemary,
. the amount you need ?
see usa's suggestion .
--(notice in that link
that you can have omega-6 amounts
that are 17times the omega-3 amounts?
that is the political opinion of the usa,
the world's grain supplier:
most of their exports --{wheat, soy}--
have too much omega-6
compared to omega-3 .
. they might be right about your omega-3 needs;
or they might be low-balling
due to usa's lack of it .
. I appreciate raw foods,
so I'm grateful chia seeds don't imbalance
my omega-3 omega-6 ratio's,
but, my favorite raw source for omega-3
is egg yolks and dark leafy greens .
. the closest I've found to bean-fed eggs
-- that would have more omega-3 I believe --
is Eggland's Best .
. to get a sure dose of DHA,
that is 3rd-party tested for
acceptable levels of the usual
fish oil contaminants
(dioxins,PCB's, mercury, ...)
I use Life Extension's
Super Omega-3 epa/dha fisho oil
(from a well-used discounter
like iherb.com not amazon.com

iherb changed its discount policies;
do consider however,
who amazon is connecting you with:
counterfeits do happen,

inflammation syndrome
8.15: news.health/chia is the best omega3 grain:
. see:
. salba[brand] nutritional facts (grams)/100g:
21.2 protein
34.5 fat
6.3 omega6
22.8 omega3
1.9 mono
37.5 carb
3.4 sat
3.5 sf (soluble fiber)
34 insoluble fiber .
8.29: sci.health/(full-)motion aerobics:
. just putting all joints through all angles
seemed to involve a surprising amount of air;
wondered if there's much toxins not being flushed
but by motion
or if moving in new ways
both works the brain
and causes mass use of usually relaxed muscles .
12.10: health/hormonics/inflammation syndrome:
. one thing with old age could be this spiral of no gh,
more calls on the non-gh branch of immune system,
more inflammation, which then calls cortisol,
cortisol further increases insulin resistance
which aggravates lack of gh .
(because insulin resistance resists gh too).
