Greetings and more greetings from New Zealand. It's Eric Bakker, the naturopath. Thank you. I
always appreciate you coming back and looking at my videos. I say it every time, but I do mean it.
So this is video 121 out of the series. There's a few of them in the Omega-3 series.
How do I make sure Omega-3 oils get absorbed better into my body? All right?
So you're always best to take fish oil with food for that reason. Absorption is better when you
take food, tends to work better with food than all by itself. There is merit though for people,
for example, consuming fruit on its own, which I think is a smarter idea,
but some fruits combine perfectly well with some main meals as well. This food combining thing's
done my head in for many years. All these people, all these books. You can only eat
this food with that food..Don't eat that food and that food, no good. And all this sort of nonsense.
I've got probably 500 cookbooks and I've seen so many cookbooks from different countries
where you can really see, culturally, people have consumed many different combinations of food for
long periods of time, long before all these influencing kind of people came out.
So what about getting fish oil really into the body? Well, younger people tend to have better
digestions than older people like me. So if you are prone to a bit of burping or bloating, or
you feel full easily, if you're prone to your fingernails splitting easy, or your hair not
being good, poor appetite, not sleeping well, you may well have a low functioning stomach.
Many people, over half of people I've seen in the clinic, my age, half, easy,
more than half, they've got a flat stomach. Their stomach is not functioning that well.
These people are more prone to burping, bloating, and fullness, and all that kind of jazz.
So digestive enzymes work well with these people. Check out the candida restore product that we've
got on the candida site, the restore product. I think it's in the green container. Now that's
got enzymes and probiotics in it. Now that's a perfect accompaniment with the Omega-3 Plus.
It will just assist in allowing the oil to get broken down,
digested, and absorbed better than it would if you weren't. It just peps the stomach up a bit more.
Remember, always chew your food really well. Chewing, chewing, chewing chewing because that
will apple increased digestion as well, and always add the two acids into your diet when you can,
apple cider vinegar and, of course, also lemon juice. I'm a massive fan of lime and lemon juice.
We've got 35 citrus trees on the property. So we grow a lot of lemons and limes and
mandarins and grapefruits, but it's just good to incorporate citrus
on a regular basis into your diet, particularly the lime or the lemon,
because it will pep your stomach up and make it easy for you to digest.
Summertime, glass of water, squeeze of lemon juice in it or a squeeze of lime juice in it.
Salad dressing, a bit of flaxseed oil which will also increase digestion
and in aid in digesting the fish oil. Flax seed oil, a little bit of salt, a little bit of pepper,
a bit of lemon juice, a really nice salad dressing, and throw that on your salad. We had
a nice salad last night with extra Virgin olive oil and lots of lime juice. It was really good.
So these are ways how the capsule will get absorbed better. Chewing food, better, taking
with food, taking digestive enzymes, increasing the acids in your food, and don't overfill the
stomach either because you won't absorb food well. Okay? You'll just get all kinds of problems.
Taking Omega-3 supplements with meals containing fats like butter or fish meal, or maybe even a
salad with added flaxseed oil, this will aid digestion. I like people to increase their
intake of lemon juice as it will pep up a flat stomach in four to six weeks when used regularly.
Now all of these script, in fact, everything I've done all the videos you will find
on the candida site. If you look at the candida site, you'll actually see it there. I think it's
under FAQ's, under the Omega-3 Plus you'll find hundreds of questions and all the answers there.
So, that's the video on how to get it better absorbed in the body. Okay? Thanks for tuning in.
