For more details, please check the longer version.

Dr. Michael Greger (MD and book writer) stresses the importance of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids. Most people have a ratio of 10:1 (LA:ALA), and vegans and vegetarians often have a ratio of 17:1 or even higher. A good ratio is 1:1 and up to 4:1 is still acceptable.

Using helpful diagrams, he provides important information about ALA (alpha-linoleic acid), which is the essential omega-3 fatty acid we need. Our body transforms ALA into EPA and DHA, which are both essential anti-inflammatory fatty acids. However, LA (linoleic acid) is transformed into AA, which causes inflammation.

At diet-health.info, we strive to inform you of the facts; we are not selling anything or recommending a certain type of diet. Here, you will find just the facts. Erb Muesli was developed in 1978 and since then it has provided those who eat it with an ideal balance of LA to ALA (1:1), as well as many other positive effects. You can find the recipe for Erb Muesli by following the link above. For more information, see the nutrient tables below the recipe.



You will see that just by eating a serving for breakfast, Erb Muesli provides 175 % of the daily requirement for vitamin C, as well as 100 % for the essential omega-3 fatty acid ALA, 75 % of the daily requirement for manganese, 66 % for copper, and 55 % for folate, which is a very important nutrient.

A serving of Erb Muesli also covers almost half of the daily requirement for the protein tryptophan, vitamin B 6 , and the elements potassium, magnesium, and phosphorus. We encourage you to take a look at the nutritional information and try out the recipe. It contains only whole, natural ingredients and is a gluten-free vegan breakfast. And since you prepare it yourself, it is fresh and delicious!
