Tarzan's Fourth Post

I read a very interesting article on MSN Health that piqued my interest.

1=31036">The Vanishing Youth Nutrient
By Susan Allport

Basically the author went into detail about Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids. She gives a nice whole picture to where these acids come from complete with historical background which I always enjoy. While everyone seems to think of fish when Omega fatty acids are brought up, they really come from plants, algae, which fish feed on. There is also a time element I was unaware of. Omega are spring fats which help speed up metabolism and get animals ready for the traditional activities of spring, namely making babies. In the fall Omega 6 gets made which slows the metabolism and gets us ready for long sleepy winters.
It seems we're becoming deficient in healthy Omega 3 fatty acid becaused our industrialized food system finds it cheaper to use Omega 6 producing soy and corn. I never really imagined seasons having that much effect on nutrition. Also it once again underscores the importance of following the Word of Wisdom. Not only are we supposed to value plants over meat but also be aware of their seasonality as well.
DC 89:11 Every herb in the season thereof, and every fruit in the season thereof; all these to be used with prudence and thanksgiving.

This is me grateful for divine wisdom.
