Omega 3 Fat
Unfortunately omega 3 fat is usually neglected from our diet. We are basically talking about healthy fat that should be consumed on a regular basis because it does come with various benefits. Omega 3 fat is crucial to different body processes like the creation of brain cell membranes and the control of blood clotting. Different studies are still being conducted on omega 3 and the way it can benefit us. On the other hand, there are some facts that we already know and they do highlight the importance of this healthy fat.
One of the most important benefits obtained from omega 3 fat is linked with cardiovascular diseases. It has been shown that there is a decrease in incidence when people consume it in right quantities. It seems that omega 3 is really useful because it will decrease arrhythmias risk, triglyceride levels and atherosclerotic plaque growth rate. This fat also works great as therapy and even prevention of liver cancer. Even depression and dementia can be eased to some extend by adding omega 3 to the patient’s diet plan.
Omega 3 is basically made out of three important members: docosahexaenoic acid (also known as DHA), eicosapentaenoic acid (also known as EPA) and alpha-linolenic acid (commonly referred to as ALA). The most important sources of omega 3 fat are fish. This basically means that you should include anchovies, herring, salmon, mackerel or sardines in your diet whenever needed. Most specialists will recommend ALA as it is the most common omega 3 fat that is present in our regular diets. This is because it is also included in canola oil, soybeans, walnuts and flax seed oil. Unfortunately not enough people eat fish or foods high in this nutrient on a regular basis. This is why omega 3 supplements are so popular and they are constantly gaining popularity.
When you choose supplementation there are some things that you will have to consider. For starters, a capsule of 500 mg is more than enough daily. You are recommended to take in between 1 and 3 grams daily of DHA and EPA. Only in the event that you are suffering from some medical conditions you should consider higher dosage. In this case you should be monitored by your doctor. Always choose omega 3 supplements that do not contain mercury and are always molecularly distilled. It is always better if the supplement comes with both EPA and DHA. If possible, higher concentrations of EPA are better.
