That's a topic I wanna educate people on because Omega-3 fatty acids are essential.

這是我想教育人們的一個話題，因為 Omega-脂肪酸是人體必需的。

That means that our bodies can't make them, but we need them and 70% of the entire population is deficient in Omega-3.

這意味著我們的身體無法制造它們，但我們需要它們，而整個人口中有 70% 的人缺乏 Omega-3 脂肪酸。

And I'm gonna tell you why they are deficient.

我要告訴你它們為什麼大家缺少攝取的量。

And I'm also gonna tell you what will happen if you started putting these Oemga-3s back into the body and you can do it through several ways.

我還要告訴你，如果你開始把這些 Omega-3 脂肪酸放回體內，會發生什麼，你可以通過幾種方法做到這一點。

Fish oils, fish oil is one way.

魚油，魚油是很簡單的方式。

I prefer cod liver oil because it also has two additional things like vitamin D and vitamin A, both which are not in fish oils.

我比較喜歡魚肝油，因為它還含有維生素 D 和維生素 A，這兩種魚油中沒有的額外成分。

You don't want to buy a fish oil based on cost because you're gonna basically get rancid fish oils and they're gonna cause more harm than good.

你不會想根據成本來購買魚油，因為你基本上會買到餿掉的魚油，弊大於利。

And this is because fish oils are highly susceptible to being oxidized.

這是因為魚油極易被氧化。

But of course, the best thing to do is to consume actual fatty fish, sardines, grass, fed beef, organ meats and even eggs.

當然，最好的辦法是食用真正的肥魚、沙丁魚、草飼牛肉、內臟肉甚至雞蛋。

Now I will mention about, you know, like walnuts, flax seed, hemp, chia seed might say they have Omega-3, but really, they're precursors that turn into omega three fatty acids.

現在我想說的是，核桃、亞麻籽、奇亞籽可能會說它們含有 Omega-3 脂肪酸，但實際上，它們是轉化為Omega-3 脂肪酸的前體。

They have something called ALA and then that can convert into EPA and DHA.

它們有一種叫做 ALA 的物質，可以轉化為 EPA 跟 DHA。

EPA primarily helps you reduce inflammation.

EPA 主要有助於減輕發炎。

And a lot of people have inflammation and you can have inflammation in the joints.

很多人都有發炎，關節也會發炎。

So it helps with arthritis, you can have inflammation in the heart, so it can help with your heart.

＝它對關節炎有幫助，對心臟發炎也有幫助。

And then you have something called DHA, which is really good for your brain.

還有一種叫 DHA 的東西，對大腦非常有益。

In fact, your brain is made up of 20% DH A and I'm talking about the gray matter, the cerebral cortex.

事實上，你的大腦由 20% 的 DHA 組成，我說的是灰質，即大腦皮層。

This is why fish oils are really good for memory, cognitive function, attention focus learning really good for kids.

這就是為什麼魚油對孩子的記憶力、認知功能、注意力和學習能力有很大幫助。

Yet many kids don't consume fish or fish oils.

然而，許多孩子並不食用魚或魚油。

But there is a reason why your parents or your grandmother gave you cod liver oil because that's more of a well-known remedy for so many things.

但是，你的父母或祖母給你魚肝油是有原因的，因為這是一種眾所周知的治療方法。

A lot of the Nordic countries used cod liver oil back in the day when they had long winters with very low vitamin D,

很多北歐呃國家都在使用魚肝油，當冬天很長時，維生素 D 含量會很低，

because as we know, we don't get a lot of sun during the winter and a lot of people become depressed during the winter and they might have a worsening of their arthritis.

因為我們知道，我們在冬天曬不到很多太陽，很多人在冬天會變得抑鬱，他們的關節炎可能會惡化。

So cod liver oil is an excellent source or just consume more fatty fish through the winters.

所以魚肝油是一個很好的來源，或者在冬天多吃一些脂肪含量高的魚。

Now, another interesting benefit with cod liver oil, especially for kids if you can get them to consume it, is asthma and allergies.

關於魚肝油還有一個有趣的好處，尤其是對孩子們來說，如果你能讓他們食用的話，它能治療哮喘和過敏症，

and it's a combination of just reducing inflammation in the lungs.

同時還能減少肺部發炎。

I mean, what's an allergy? It's like you have a lot of inflammation.

過敏是什麼？其實就是很多發炎。

But also the vitamin D is one of the most potent anti-inflammatories.

但維生素 D 也是最有效的抗炎藥之一。

And vitamin D is one of the most important things in asthma.

而維生素 D 是治療哮喘最重要的藥物之一。

This is why if asthmatic kids get more sun, their asthma goes in remission.

這就是為什麼如果哮喘兒童多曬太陽，他們的哮喘就會緩解。

So normally people take Omega-3 fish oils for heart problems or brain issues, but they are good for other things too.

人們通常服用 Omega-3 魚油來治療心臟病或腦部問題，但它們對其他方面也有好處。

So if you consume them on a regular basis, you may find one of the following symptoms disappear: dry eyes.

如果你經常食用這些食物，你可能會發現以下症狀之一消失了：眼睛乾澀。

Now, you can also help dry eyes with vitamin A but also with Omega-3.

現維生素 A 和 Omega-3 脂肪酸也能幫助緩解眼睛乾澀。

The next one is dermatitis, especially if your skin is scaly and dry.

其次是皮炎，尤其是在皮膚出現鱗屑和乾燥的情況下。

And so when you're deficient in Omega-3, you can develop what's called age-related macular degeneration affecting your sight.

如果缺乏 Omega-3 脂肪酸，就會出現所謂的老年黃斑部病變，影響視力。

I already mentioned all the arthritis both rheumatoid and Osteo and arrhythmias in high blood pressure.

我已經提到了風溼性關節炎和骨關節炎、心律失常和高血壓。

Another really interesting benefit is improving a fatty liver.

另一個非常有趣的功效是改善脂肪肝。

That's right. By taking a certain fat, you can get rid of fat in your liver.

沒錯，通過服用某種脂肪，就能消除肝臟中的脂肪。

Another great benefit for Omeg-3 is increase calcium absorption.

Omega-3 的另一大好處是增加鈣的吸收。

Now, of course, if you take the cod liver oil, you're gonna get more calcium absorption because of the vitamin D.

當然，如果你服用牛肝油，由於維生素 D 的存在，你會吸收更多的鈣。

Vitamin D helps you absorb calcium by a factor of 20 times.

維生素 D 能幫助人體吸收 20 倍的鈣。

I noticed when people are deficient in calcium, they can have leg cramps, but they also have a hard time going to sleep easily.

我注意到，當人們缺鈣時，他們可能會腿抽筋，而且也很難輕鬆入睡。

They might be tired but their head can't relax or go to sleep.

他們可能很累，但腦袋卻無法放鬆或入睡。

And menstrual cramps probably a combination because of the anti-inflammatory effect.

而痛經可能是一種綜合症，因為它具有消炎作用。

But also the vitamin D can help you absorb calcium and actually reduce cramping.

不過，維生素 D 也是可以的，它能幫助你吸收鈣質，實際上還能減少抽筋。

Omega-3 fatty acids can also help you with insomnia and even decrease the risk of certain types of cancer.

Omega-3 脂肪酸還能幫助你緩解失眠，甚至降低罹患某些類型癌症的風險。

Now, one little problem that people have with fish oils is the burping, but they do have them in capsules without the actual oil.

現在，人們在使用魚油時遇到的一個小問題是打嗝，但他們確實有不含魚油的膠囊。

So you can get them in capsules, you won't burp with those.

你可以把它們裝在膠囊裡，這樣就不會打嗝了。

Sometimes people are allergic to fish oils or fish or they might be vegan and don't want to consume the fish.

有時人們會對魚油或魚類過敏，或者他們可能是素食主義者，不想吃魚。

Well, you can get supplements that come from algae.

你可以從藻類中獲取營養補充劑。

So that's another source because the way fish actually get their Omega-3 is through consuming phytoplankton.

這也是另一個來源，因為魚類獲取 Omega-3 的方式實際上是通過攝入浮游植物。

And also there's a simple, simple test that you can do, just with the one little blood spot.

此外，你還可以做一個簡單的測試，只需一個小點點血。

Just take a little drop of blood and you put it on this piece of paper, you send it in,

只需取一小滴血，滴在這張紙上，然後把它送去，

and they can evaluate how much Omega-3 is in your blood and give you the ratios of something else which I wanna touch on next like Omega-6 fatty acids.

他們就能評估你血液中 Omega-3 的含量，並給出我接下來要談的 Omega-6 脂肪酸等其他物質的比例。

And I will put a link down below of a company that will do your test and I have no kickbacks or affiliations with this company.

我會在下面放一個連結，有一家公司可以幫你做測試，我和這家公司沒有任何回扣或隸屬關係。

Now, this next thing is very, very, very important.

接下來這件事非常、非常、非常重要。

Take a look at this graph.

請看這張圖。

We're looking at soy oil.

這個是大豆油的數據。

We're looking at an Omega-6 fatty acid.

也就是 Omega-6 脂肪酸。

What you need to know is the Omega-6 fatty acids compete for the Omega-3 fatty acids.

你需要知道的是，Omega-6 脂肪酸會與 Omega-3 脂肪酸競爭。

And I think one of the big reasons why people are deficient in Omega-3 is not only because they don't consume enough omega-3 like fish oils or cod liver oil,

我認為，人們缺乏 Omega-3 的一個重要原因，不僅是因為他們沒有攝入足夠的 Omega-3，如魚油或橄欖油，

but because they consume too much of the competitor, the Omega-6, which is very, very inflammatory.

還因為他們攝入了太多的競爭者，就是是非常容易造成發炎的 Omega-6 脂肪酸。

So that would be the soy oil, the corn oil, the canola oil, the cottonseed oil.

也就是大豆油、玉米油、菜籽油、棉籽油等等。

The ratio of Omega-6 to Omega-3 fatty acids really should be like 1 to 1.

Omega-6 脂肪酸和 Omega-3 脂肪酸的比例應該是 1 比 1。

Most people are like 30 to 1, very heavy on the Omega-6 fatty acids.

大多數人對 Omega-6 脂肪酸的攝入量是 30 比 1。

But that test that I mentioned will pick this up and tell you what your ratios are.

但我提到的測試會檢測到這一點，並告訴你你的比率是多少。

One last point about these Omega-3 oils.

關於這些 Omega-3 油的最後一個重點：

If you don't have a gallbladder or you are deficient in bile and you can't absorb these fats very easily,

如果你沒有膽囊，或者你缺乏膽汁，不能很容易地吸收這些脂肪，

or maybe you have some type of inflammatory condition in your gut.

或者你的腸道有某種發炎。

You may want to add some type of purified bile salt as a supplement to start.

你可能需要添加某種純化膽鹽作為補充。

Not only getting more absorption of these Omega-3 fatty acids, but also getting absorption of the other fat type of vitamins that you need.

不僅能吸收更多的 Omega-3脂肪酸，還能吸收人體所需的其他脂肪類維生素。

But I think we've really got ourselves in the situation when we started to feed our animals way more grains and getting them away from the grass-fed food,

但我認為當我們開始給我們的動物更多穀物，使它們遠離草飼食物時，我們真的陷入了這種情況，

because animals that are fed grains uh have significantly reduced Omega-3 fatty acids than the grass-fed.

因為被餵養穀物的動物相比於草飼動物，其 Omega-3脂肪酸顯著減少。

And because we're on the topic of nutrition and we're talking about healthy foods, there's a fascinating study I was involved in.

因為我們正在討論營養和健康食品的話題，我想跟大家提一下我參與了一項引人入勝的研究。

Some of the beef that I raised on my farm to a lab, and I want to show you the results.

我把我農場養的一些牛肉送到實驗室進行研究，我想向你展示研究結果。
