Slide 1: ==== ==== Discover A Safe Natural Treatment Method That Stop The Suffering Of Autoimmune Diseases Without Drugs Or Surgery! http://tinyurl.com/Autoimmune-Diseases ==== ==== Introduction Because of our western diet, which is the increased consumption of process foods, we have seen an increase in autoimmune diseases. Autoimmune disease is when the immune system attacks a healthy portion of the body for no reason. The main culprit for this increase in autoimmune disease is believed to come from the large amount of Omega-6 found in process foods. With the increase amount of Omega-6 we are also consuming less amounts of Omega-3. The Western Diet About 150 years ago, our diet gradually changed from fresh foods to more meals that came from processed foods. Processed foods are foods, which have been changed away from their original state. These types of foods are considered to be packaged foods consisting of lunch meats, snacks, crackers, chips and white bread, to name a few. With this increase consumption of processed foods, Omega-3 was almost totally removed from our diet. In its place came Omega-6. Today we have about twenty times more Omega-6 than Omega-3. Omega-6 And Autoimmune Disease Omega-6 is good for the body and the immune system because it causes inflammation. But too much inflammation over activates the immune system. Omega-6 produces a pro-inflammatory known as leukotriene (LTB4) and along with another pro-inflammatory cytokine, interleukin 1 (IL1), help to develop autoimmune disease. Cytokines are proteins that are used by the body to send messages between cells, while leukotriene are fatty molecules used for signaling. These are found in people suffering from certain types of autoimmune diseases such as lupus, arthritis, and Crohn's disease. Reducing Omega-6 If you have autoimmune disease and even if you do not, you may want to think about reducing the amount of Omega-6. The idea is not to totally eliminate Omega-6 because it is needed for a properly functioning immune system. Nutritionist recommend that you keep your Omega-3 to Omega-6 ratio at approximately one to one. To do this you need to reduce your consumption of process foods and increase your consumption

Though Omega-6 is important for the immune system, too much of this and you can develop autoimmune disease. To help prevent autoimmune disease you need to increase the amount of Omega-3 in your diet and decrease the amount of Omega-6 in you diet by consuming less process foods.
