Road Map to Elite Performance or Pitiful Performance
The Elite Performance Pipeline on the left side of the Performance Road Map is narrow and easy to saturate by eating excess omega-6 oils (PUFA) which causes any overflow to escape to the alternate path down the right-hand side of the chart to arachidonic acid and inflammation. All excess omega-6 fats eaten are shunted to the right and lead to pitiful performance.
Arachidonic acid is highly inflammatory and is also a precursor to super hormones in the inflammatory prostaglandin PGE2 series.
Fish/Fish oil (EPA/DHA) competes with arachidonic acid and inhibits inflammation.
Hidden Sources of Omega-6 Fats
Corn fed animals are a source of omega-6 PUFA.
Hidden sources of omega-6 fat PUFA can be from bioengineered GMO food sources including those fed to animals that we then eat.
Cows, chickens, and fish fed corn make meat and fat that has excess omega-6 fat content compared to animals that are fed green grass pastures. Crawford MA, Lancet 1968 (1513) The same is true and for eggs from corn fed chickens. The eggs have 20X omega-6 compared to grass fed chicken eggs. (1514). Cultured (farmed) fish fed corn produce excess omega-6 fat and are deficient in omega-3 fat. (1513) When we eat the corn fed beef and chicken meat, and corn fed fish, they are yet another source of excess omega-6 fats (PUFA) that have been linked to chronic inflammation of heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. (862, 864, 908, 934)
Ditch Vegetable Oils
High intake of vegetable oil puts the body in a constant "fight or flight" mode termed "chronic inflammatory state".

The human circadian clock runs a little longer than 24 hours per day.
If we are not exposed to bright light, our internal circadian rhythm is a little longer than 24 hours. Our internal circadian clock exceeds 24 hours by 15 to 30 minutes per 24 hours when we are not exposed to light. Exposure to outdoor bright light, especially in blue and green wavelength regions, resets our internal clock to be exactly 24 hours.
Does Circadian Eating Help People Like It Does Animals? EAT RIGHT TO SLEEP TIGHT. BATON Diet Blog 6
9 out of 10 people were eating more than 12 hours per day. (2029)
1 of 2 people were eating more than 15 hours per day. (2029)
These eating times were found to violate our natural circadian rhythm. Our circadian rhythm is a crucial determiner of our health and well being.
For a large number of us “When our eyes are open our mouths are open.”
