I have an interesting, and also somewhat scary story I want to share with you today.
At the end of September last year, my husband and I drove from Malaga to Central Italy to look for a house to buy. That was a little holiday for us, the first time in 7 years we were away from home, from our four-pawed family, and from work. And in Italy of all places, a real paradise when it comes to food and wine and everything delicious!
I had packed a bottle of my Omega-3 supplement, but I didn’t take it once on the whole journey.
Being on the road most of the time, sleeping in hotels and B&Bs, we had all our meals in restaurants and bars, and after so many years out of the country, I bomb-dived into the pasta and pizza and all the a-ma-zing things that you can find literally on every street corner here π
When we got back home after finding the house, and started preparing for the move, I remained stuck in that italo-wheat mode and kept on cooking all that fabulous stuff myself. Then we moved here for good, and with all these overflowing grocery stores, I kept it up gleefully, still totally forgetting about my Omega-3.
Now the thing is, that a month ago, with the first cooler days of autumn, my terrible joint pains, that I had suffered from all my life, came back for the first time, after 4 years without them… Exactly the 4 years I had been on the Omega-3 π
Just a few days previous, I had asked myself if, after 3 years on a plant-based diet, that problem would have taken care of itself even without the supplement. But I had some doubts about that because of the higher amounts of flour I’d been eating… And then that episode answered the question for me in a painfully clear way!
So I immediately put a stop to the revels and took the Balance Test, a dry blood test that tells you how much Omega-3 you have in your system, how strong your immune defences are, how well your cells absorb the nutrients, how strong your brain functions are, etc.
I just got the results, and they are scary!
To give you a reference, the ideal ratio between your Omega-3 and Omega-6 is between 1:1 and 3:1 β
4:1 already means you’re having an onset of chronic inflammation in the body π¨
My ratio came back as 40:1!!! π₯π₯π₯π₯ This means that right now I’m highly exposed to all sorts of nasty things. Needless to say, I’m now back on the oil, and I want to go back to perfect balance as fast as I can!
Why I say this story is scary is, because this way of eating, that was “only” a one year-long glitch in my otherwise very healthy lifestyle, was enough to get me totally out of my safe zone. And most people in the West live their whole lives like this!
What I want you to be a 100% aware of is, that in our modern times it’s extremely hard to eat in a way that doesn’t allow inflammation in the body. I see this every single time with my new clients. No matter how young and fit they are, even sportspeople, no matter if they eat in the “normal” Western way, or are vegetarian, or vegan, no matter how much fish they eat, so far I haven’t seen a single person who’s in balance before they do something specific about it.
You know I speak about inflammation sometimes, and my emphasis is always on the foods on our shopping list, but today I want to put all the emphasis on this eye-opening test and on the Omega-3 supplement that goes with it, that I take and promote.
It has massively changed my health for the better when I started taking it. And stopping it has changed it back for the worse.
Now I’m switching back to perfect health again, and I want to invite you to do the same.
If you’re already taking it, please keep it up! If you’ve taken it in the past and stopped, please start again! And if you haven’t taken it before, please give it a try.
I’ll put my link here for you. Yes I’ll make a few pennies if you buy it, but that’s payed by the company and is not affecting your price π
Have a look, and if you’d like to place an order, please get in touch with me and let’s do it together, you might have questions, and I can help you choose the best one for you and get the best deal.
By the way, this is a particularly good moment to get started, because up to Saturday at 4PM Central European Time, there are some really big Black Week deals!
And Also, Christmas is near, and health could definitely be a beautiful gift for your dear ones to receive! πππ
I’m still a bit in shock, I must admit, but I guess that this had to happen to me so I can share it with everyone. Me!!!! Miss-Holistic-Health, Miss-Nourish-Your-Body-And-Soul, has totally fallen off the wagon!!
This is one of the biggest fears people have, that keeps them from embarking on any health journey. They think they won’t be able to keep it up, so what’s the point?Β
Well, if you fall off the wagon, you get up, you wash your bruises, and you climb back on, which is a thousand times better than never having been on it!
