Evelyn Tribole
The Ultimate Omega-3 Diet
Maximize the Power of Omega-3s to Supercharge Your Health, Battle Inflammation, and Keep Your Mind Sharp
McGraw-Hill, 2007
¿De qué se trata?
To stay slim and healthy, cut down on most fats. But don’t cut the omega-3 ones, because not all fats are bad.
Recommendation
For years, diet experts have told you to eliminate trans fat, cut down on saturated fats and choose foods with unsaturated fats. But according to dietician Evelyn Tribole, this is not (by a long shot) the entire story on fats. There are two types of polyunsaturated fats: omega-3 and omega-6. Omega-3 fats promote good health and prevent a slew of serious medical conditions. Omega-6 fats do just the opposite. Unfortunately, most diets are heavy in omega-6 but light on omega-3. This imbalance is a recipe for health disaster. Tribole says you can improve your diet by eating omega-3 fats and limiting your omega-6 intake, and provides easy-to-prepare omega-3 recipes tailored to every eating preference. This is not a weight-loss manual, but it is a helpful guide to eating in a healthy way that helps weight control. Once you’ve read it, getAbstract predicts you’ll stock up on omega-3.
