Hormones
Hormones regulate different signals that tell your body what to do and when to do it.
Did you know that hormone are made from fat and minerals?
Make sure you have enough Omega 3s fatty acid to nurture your hormones. Standard American Diet has too high Omega 6s fatty acid and is one of the key factor of inflammation and obesity since it is changing the composition of fatty acids parallels. The ratio was from 1:1 during evolution to 20:1 today or even higher.
There’s a cap on the total amount of the two that the body can use, so they end up competing for space. Omega 6s are inflammatory, while omega 3s are not. You need both, but because of the inflammation factor, it’s optimal to maximize omega 3s and minimize omega 6s.
You can build your nutritional protocols buy increasing EPA/DHA intake and decreasing seed oil consumption.
To up your ratio, eat plenty low-mercury fatty fish like wild caught salmon, go for grass-fed butter and meat, swap omega 6 oils for those higher in omega 3s, and always check the ingredients when you buy packaged food.
You can supplement with fish oils (EPA/DHA) or use plant based Algae Omega 3s (ALA).
