How do we reduce inflammation in mice and men?
It's those magical dietary omega-3 and omega-9 fatty acids that help to protect against obesity and metabolic diseases. Scientists have found two G protein-coupled receptors called GPR120 and GPR140 that regulate obesity-induced insulin resistance.
Both Omega-3 and Omega-9 fatty acids activated signal transmission through the GRP-120 pathway which targeted and reduced different inflammatory activities. These fatty acids in the diet (flax seed oil and olive oil) disrupted and turned off inflammatory cascades.
Flax seed oil or olive oil were shown to not only reduce diet-induced inflammation, but these oils reduced weight gain, improved insulin action and changed liver lipid composition.
What's cool is that these oils became activated in the liver, skeletal muscle and adipose or fat tissues where they inhibited inflammation and insulin resistance in mice. That's alot of bang for the buck. You get a whole body effect by adding these oils into your diet.
Reducing Inflammation Now In Your Body
Inflammation can be reversed in mice, men and women with a healthy integrated dose of flax seed oil and or olive oil. I add these oils to my protein shakes, salads or over my cooked vegetables. What's your best way that you use flax seed oil or olive oil in your diet?
