According to Lawrence Litzow, AKA the Wiz of Auz, our need for Omega 3 oil is not satisfied by our normal diet. Most "good" oils contain some Omega 3, but more likely a predominance of Omega 6. We should supplement out diet with Omega 3, of which we need about half our Omega 6 requirement.

Best sources of Omega 3 are fish oil and flax seed oil (must be cold pressedas heat changes the molucular structure of the oil)...the following recipe is designed to help provide some Omega 3

Seed Sensation

• 2 tablespoons with ground flax seed, sunflower and pumpkin seeds combined
• 1/2 cup of freshly squeezes orange juice
• 4 tablespoons of blueberries
• 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla
• 1 teaspoon of honey
• flax oil cream mixture (see below)

Put ground seeds in a bowl, cover with half the blueberries and the orange juice. Mix together - flax oil cream, vanilla, honey and the rest of the blueberries in the blender and pour over the above.

Flax Oil Cream

• 2 tablespoons of flax oil
• 4 tablespoons of "Quark" or cottage cheese, yoghurt or kefir (or soft tofu for those allergic to dairy products

"This, " says the Wiz, "is good for breakfast, but I guess the typical New Yorker would not have time to prepare it!"
