Let’s talk Omega-6 to Omega-3 ratios real quick. Most Americans have a 4:1 disproportionate Omega-6 to Omega-3 ratio in their average diet. Yeah… you read that right. The average American is eating 4x the amount of Omega-6’s compared to the Omega-3s that they should be eating! Most research has pointed to health ratio looking like a 2:1 or even 1:4 for proper health.

Both Omega (6 & 3) essential fatty acids are crucial for your body staying healthy and not getting sick (hence why they are called “essential”). However, Omega-6s tend to be more pro-inflammatory, while Omega-3s play more of an anti-inflammatory role. Cell membranes found to be high in Omega-6 are strongly associated with the risk of heart disease. Most Omega-6’s in todays diet comes from seeds and vegetable oils (which is in almost everything that is cooked at restaurants). Soybean oil, Corn oil, and Sunflower oil are some of the popular culprits.

Omega 3s on the other hand, which can come from fish and Micro-Algae, have been found to reduce inflammation, help with brain, eye, and heart health. Estora Omega 3s are derived from farmed Micro-Algae and triple tested for any contaminants, so you don’t have to worry about heavy metal toxicity found in our oceans and fish. Rich in DHA for brain, heart, and eye support, our Omega 3s are a clean option to help get your ratio back in order.

Worried about heavy metal toxicity? Cilantro for the win!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This delicious herb is actually a total powerhouse and helps with chelation, or the removal of heavy metals from the body.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Cilantro has been shown to bind heavy metals like aluminum, lead and mercury together, loosening them from tissue and aiding in their elimination from the body. Some studies show that cilantro can actually accelerate the heavy removal process in the body.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The power of plants! We love adding cilantro to guacamole, tacos, rice, salads and in dressings. We also add organic cilantro (as well as Chlorella) to our Greens blend supplement for the ultimate detox and to provide overall nutrient support for those days when you just can’t get your greens in.

It's - did you know that the state of your liver has major effects on how optimally your thyroid functions? In fact, many functional doctors recommend starting with a liver cleanse when you start showing signs of thyroid issues.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here’s why….
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The liver is essential for filtering our blood, detoxification from impurities we consume and is also responsible for producing hormones AND converting T4 (a thyroid hormone called thyroxine) to T3 hormone, which is absolutely essential for healthy thyroid function.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
While the liver can absolutely detox and convert hormones on its own, everyday toxins like pollution in the air we breathe, chemicals in our makeup and body products, xenoestrogens from bpa and plastics, can overwhelm and overburden our liver.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How do you know if your liver is in a toxic overload? Symptoms can include bad breath, headaches, breakouts, hormone imbalance, itchy skin, weight loss resistance and more.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Luckily, there are several ways in which you can limit your toxic load and help your liver function at it’s highest level...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✔️Remove trigger foods that cause issues (often gluten and dairy) and load up on detoxing foods like greens and beets (organic is even better).
✔️Cut out plastics and switch to glass and stainless steel.
✔️Support detoxification with herbs and adaptogens (our Liver Care is prettay… prettay… prettay awesome.)

Happy ! We love this inspiration from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. What are your favorite ways to serve?
