So far I have written 449 articles for the Health Central Network about all aspects of diabetes. In February this website published five more of my new diabetes articles:
- Omega-3 for Fatty Liver. We may now have several ways to treat fatty liver disease and stopping it from progressing to liver failure. The latest research shows that a diet high in omega-3 fatty acids can reverse it.
- Omega-3: Tested. Did you know that you could get your omega-3 level and your ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 tested? This test is an excellent guide to telling what your heart health is.
- Let's Talk about Diabetes. My first conference call to discuss diabetes with readers of my articles took place on February 15, just before I left on vacation in New Zealand, from where I am writing this newsletter. When I return home, I will continue these calls. If you are interested in participating, what would you like to discuss?
- Cutting Back on Omega-6. Knowing what to eat so that we get enough omega-3 fats in our diet is easy. The challenge is how to cut back on omega-6. The first step to get our levels of omega-3 and omega-6 fats in balance is to reduce how much omega-6 we eat.
- Reducing Omega-6 and Meat. The key to start getting our ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fats in balance is to cut back first on omega-6 in our diet. Some meat is high in omega-6, but the results may surprise you as much as they did me.
