Recent scientific research studies have highlighted significant health benefits from a diet rich in omega 3 essential fatty acids. The oil can help with conditions such as cardiovascular disease by reducing blood pressure, increased blood flow and lowering cholesterol levels. Evidence of a decrease in primary and secondary myocardial infarction (heart attack) and strokes has also been found as well as help with people suffering depression and cognitive degeneration.
A French study indicated that women with a high in take of omega 3 had a significantly reduced risk of breast cancer. Further research suggested that omega 3 increased production of one of the genes that is known to suppress breast cancer.
Deficiencies in omega 3 are linked with a number of other conditions such as digestive problems (chrones disease and colitis), behavioural problems (ADHD), arthritis, osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s and dementia. Women who have taken omega 3 throughout their pregnancy have seen improvement in their health and development of their children particularly the foetal brain and retina in the third trimester and up to 18 months of life.
Omega 3 is an essential fatty acid often called “brain food” which is essential for the body to function normally. There are two components called EPA and DHA. These components cannot be made naturally in the body so the only way to get them is through food.
EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) has anti inflammatory properties, helps the body manufacture eicosanoids which improve blood flow, control hormones and immune system which thereby affects brain function. DHA is a long chain fatty acid which is essential for nervous system and brain function. This nutrient is particularly good for the eyes.
Foods rich in omega 3 include oily fish, walnuts, flax seed and oil, pumpkin seeds and canola oil. The problem with relying entirely upon food to provide this essential nutrient is some of them do not contain sufficient omega 3 to have a noticeable positive impact on health.
