D-9 Unsaturated Fatty Acid (USFA)

Unsaturated fatty acid (USFA) protects human to develop insulin resistance , therefore，it also prevents people from many chronic diseases.

Unsaturated fatty acid (USFA) has two types of fatty acids, monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA), and can be synthesized in our body, so called non-essential fatty acid: Polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) cannot be synthesized in our body, so called essential unsaturated fatty acid, which is supplied from diet only.

Researchers have found that PUFA higher intake from diet related with less risk of type 2 diabetes, but MUFA higher intake did not. If intake of PUFA to instead of saturated fatty acid intake, significantly decreases tape 2 diabetes risk and improves insulin action, also lowers LDL cholesterol. increases HDL cholesterol, then protect against sudden cardiac death.

Some tests of the PUFA amount intake only 10% caleries can reduce total caleries by about 25 mg/dL. If eating with carbohydrate rich whole foods replacing 10% caleries from saturated fat can reduce total cholesterol by about 20 mg/dL and LDL cholesterol by about 14 mg/mL

All whole foods contain unsaturated fat with small amount in each food, Nuts and seeds contain more amount of unsaturated fat with high density of nutrients, photochemicals, antioxidents, fibers, polyphenals, minerals, and bioflavonoids - eat less fat than 15% of total caleries for body-health - these results and method in details are in the <Mastering Diabetes> book.

Essential PUFA has two types that include a-linolenic acid (ALA - it is Omega-3 PUFA), and linoleic acid (LA, it is Omega-6 PUFA). Both are essential fatty acids, due to our body cannot synthesize and need from diet.

Human cells convert the two essential PUFA into longer chain fatty acids. ALA produces Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) that are both anti-inflammatory omiga-3 fatty acids. But the AL produces leukotrienes and prostaglandins that are omega-6 fatty acids, which response to injury. If the omega-6 fatty acid continuing active that will induce chronic inflammation and damage body's metabolisms.

The best ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 is 1:1 - 4:1, but the standard American diet this ratio is 20:1, it is too high of omega-6 in their diet, so there are too many people get disorders of metabolisms, such as tape 2 diabetes, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, hyperglyceridemia, then occurs severe complications, like cardiovascular disease, stroke, kidney failure, cancer, etc

In order to avoid metabolic disorders and complications, the best method is that intake more amount of Omege-3 fatty acid , especially the aged people lack of omega-3 fatty acid, infections, heavy physical works, patients with metabolic disorders and its severe complications, but no more than 10-15% of total caleries every day instead of Omega-6 fatty acid（most come from animal and fish diets ) and saturated and trans fatty acids, then people will get health.
