Advantages of linoleic acid in asthma therapy

The root cause of wheezing in asthmatics is the chronic inflammation in their cells, which triggers the airway hyperreactivity and wheezing attacks. Although the conventional drugs that affected again to catch his breath in the long run but they can not prevent asthma. Although the conventional drugs that affected again to catch his breath in the long run but they can not prevent asthma. An opportunity for sustained improvement involves the therapeutic use of linoleic acid(CLA).

What is linoleic acid and how can it help with asthma?

Linoleic acid, CLA short, is an omega-3 fatty acid, which is contained in meat and dairy products from ruminants. However, the daily average intake of CLA during the industrialization of our food has fallen sharply.

Those who increasingly have certain molecules called leukotrienes in the blood tend predisposed to develop asthma. Leukotrienes are fatty acid molecules of the immune system, have a strong influence on inflammatory reactions. Leukotrienes come about when a particular enzyme (5-Lipox) with a specific fat (arachidonic acid, or “AA”) come together. Linoleic acid is able to reduce the leukotrienes in blood and thus also have the asthma favoring inflammation. By eating the CLA leukotrienes precursors are namely: 5-lipox and AA prevented the production of leukotrienes.

One of the healthiest strategies is diet:

• Balancing the relationship between omega-3 to omega-6 fats (of course for the benefit of omega-3 fats)
• Eat organic meat to get Linoleic acid.

The best source of linoleic acid.

Linoleic acid is available in the following vegetable oils:

• Safflower oil (CLA contains the highest proportion in relation to other vegetable oils)
• Sunflower oil
• Corn oil
• Soybean oil.

But a much more potent source of linoleic acid than the vegetable oils is Beef – especially nourished with grass and hay animals. The grain-fed cattle produce significantly less healthy fats. For this reason it is very important to eat ecological beef to carry out their own body the proper nutrients instead of empty calories.

Other health benefits of CLA.

• Help with muscle building and fat reduction
• Stopping the growth of cancer cells
• Relief from arthritis
• Increased level of stamina, improving body composition and regulation of insulin levels
• Help with Diabetes.
