Do you ever worry about getting a disease that conventional medicine cant cure? Lou Gehrig’s disease, also known as ALS, is one such disease. But a new study from the Netherlands shows that you can prevent this disease. You just have to make a few changes to your diet.
You definitely want to prevent ALS. ALS is a progressive paralysis of the muscles. Conventional medicine does not know how to treat it. So patients just waste away.
But as it turns out, a diet with ample polyunsaturated fatty acids and high in vitamin E can dramatically reduce your risk of developing this disease. Heres why:
Polyunsaturated fatty acids are the essential fatty acids (EFAs) your body needs to keep its cell membranes healthy. When fats are hydrogenated or heated, their three-dimensional structures change. They literally turn inside out.
Altered EFAs make your cell membranes become stiffer. And this rigidity makes them more vulnerable to infections. Toxins can accumulate on a rigid membrane. A more fluid membrane can just wash or shake the bad stuff right off.
So heres what you should do: First, do not overheat your food. If there is oil in it, heat can and will damage it.
Second, make organic, uncooked vegetables, nuts, and seeds as the majority of your 20-30% calorie allotment for fat and protein. These foods are full of high-quality EFAs. And foods that have natural EFAs are also full of vitamin E. The food needs the vitamin E to protect the oils.
Third, your oil of choice should be hemp oil. Its probably the best oil for human consumption. It has the ideal ratio of omega 3 and 6 fatty acids. You can find it in health food stores. Ill be talking more about hemp food products in an upcoming issue.
So now you know the simple steps to take to prevent ALS. When conventional medicine cant treat a disease, your best bet is definitely to prevent it altogether.
