What are prostaglandins?
healthylivingabcs: Mary Toscano explains how Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids help the body produce prostaglandins that regulate inflammation, pain, and healing.
Think fat is just "extra weight"? Think again
Most of us were taught that fat just sits there, but the truth is much more exciting. Your body takes the Omega-3 and Omega-6 fats you eat and transmutes them into powerful, short-lived "superheroes" called prostaglandins.
In this video, I explain why these "tissue hormones" are the secret to how your body manages inflammation, controls pain, and heals injuries on the spot.
In this video, you will learn:
The Superhero Role: How your body turns fatty acids into workers that regulate every cell and organ.
Emergency Response: Why prostaglandins are faster than hormones for isolating injuries.
The Fat Revolution: Why scientists are now calling fat an "endocrine gland."
Omega-3 vs. Omega-6: The building blocks your body needs to create these healing substances.
