(from “Beautiful
Skin from Within” by
Udo Erasmus)
Having the proper ratio of
omega-3 alphalinolenic acid and omega-6 linoleic acid helps the body to produce and
maintain healthy, radiant skin. Although a number of factors
play important roles in facilitating velvety skin, EFA's
(essential fatty acids) are the most neglected. EFA's are
often damaged by processing in their manufacture and in
food preparation. As well, the ratio between omega-3 and
omega-6 in many diets is not balanced and the intake of
omega-3 is much too low in most individuals.
The result of this EFA imbalance in the skin is dryness,
dandruff, eczema and psoriasis-like inflammatory skin conditions,
acne, cracked heels, toxic deposits in the skin, skin damage,
and increased risk of sunburn and skin cancer. |
| A
survey of consumers carried out in 2004 showed that 78%
of the respondents reported improvements in their skin
condition when they began to take the all-inclusive
blend of oils called Udo’s Choice Oil Blend, an oil
made with health in mind. A tablespoon per 50 pounds of body
weight per day, mixed in foods, spread out over the course
of the day can alleviate dry skin, make good skin more velvety;
and improve bad skin conditions. Well-oiled skin also tans
better and allows one to stay in the sun safely for much
longer periods of time.
The rest of the body will also feel healthier and more
energetic; moods can become smoother (a calmer disposition);
and risk factors for many degenerative conditions often
improve. www.udoerasmus.com/articles/udo/beautiful_skin.htm |

(from "Bleeding
Gums and Super-5 Probiotics")
Dentists and many of their
patients report that after a few weeks of sucking on
a Super-5 probiotic after each meal that gum bleeding
disappears! So what are probiotics?
Probiotics are friendly micro-organisms that protect us
from unfriendly bacteria that can cause inflammation, disease
and death. Probiotics exist naturally in raw foods but
are killed when foods are cooked and processed. |
| Super-5
probiotics are 5 strains of the most beneficial gut bacteria placed in a tablet composed of their growth medium. When
an individual takes a tablet after each meal and sucks
on it for about 15 minutes, these beneficial micro-organisms
re-hydrate, grow and multiply rapidly to re-populate the
mouth, the gums and even the esophagus. By the time that
these beneficial bacteria reach the stomach, their numbers
may increase by three to four times the amount that was
originally present in the tablet!
Super 5 probiotics (friendly
bacteria) multiply faster than and inhibit the growth
of the unfriendly bacteria that cause inflammation of the gums, gum disease, bad breath
and tooth decay. These friendly bacteria also strengthen
the ability of the immune system to control the reproduction
of unwanted bacteria. |

(from “New
Studies confirm: Eating Fat Does NOT Make You Fat")
In eating food, it is the type of fat that
is consumed that is important and the percentage of total
caloric uptake. What is the correct ratio to burn fat? Essential fatty
acids (EFAs), in a ratio of two (omega 3) to one (omega
6) and at levels of about 12% to 15% of total caloric intake,
increase the rate of metabolic reaction in the body. This
higher rate burns more fat into carbon dioxide, water and
energy (heat) which results in fat burn-off and a loss
of weight. |
| Because
EFAs cause an increase in calorie burning they should not
count as fat calories. When these
acids are consumed as pure, unadulterated fats and oils they
increase our stamina and energy levels. Athletes using EFAs
have also found that in addition to this they have more endurance,
can lift heavier weights, exercise more and recover from
fatigue quicker.
Essential fatty acids also
help the kidneys to remove excess water from tissues
and eliminate water retention.
Food cravings are also reduced. EFAs play a role in cell
membranes and are also required in hemoglobin production.
A deficiency of EFA's causes a form of anemia which can
leave you fatigued. Adding essential fatty acids to your
diet is extremely beneficial and will give you more energy
and the incentive to exercise more easily.
