High long chain omega 3 and low omega 6 not only revered my hyperlipidemia (through stimulating reverse cholesterol transport) but notably reduces my symptoms of schizoaffective disorder bipolar type (I am assuming this is through assisting with carecholamine receptor function).
I came to the conclusion this diet would help me by noting the polymorphisms in my FADS1 and FADS2 genes linked to needing more long chain PUFAs.
You might also be interested that omega 3 is responsible for making natural Cannabinoid (endocannabinoids) in humans which could be linked to the lower anxiety.
Whenever I get my cholesterol tested I have low good cholesterol and high bad cholesterol, is that hyperlipidemia? Any recommendations on how to get high long chain omega 3 and low omega 6 in my diet? Any supplements or brands I should take? Any books that you recommend I read?
Yeah, I've noticed too much Omega 6 is at least one big cause of my anxiety.
Avoiding vegetable oils (and foods that are cooked with it) and just using coconut oil, tallow, butter etc. reduces my anxiety to the point that it's barely noticeable.
IMHO, Omega 3 increases GABA and Omega 6 increases Glutamate. I am going to guess that if you ever smoked pot that high THC weed makes you severely anxious?
Omega 6 creates an endocannibinoid that is more like Delta 9 THC and Delta 9 THC increases glutamate release. This will cause psychosis in people who have high glutamate levels or low GABA levels.
