I know we should make sure we get omega 3 fatty acids in our diet, but knowing more will help me understand more about omega 3 fatty acids. Here are my questions:
1. What are omega 3 fatty acids?
2. Why are omega 3 fatty acids so important?
3. What are the symptoms of omega 3 fatty acids deficiency?
Omega 3 fatty acids are polyunsaturated fatty acids that are essential nutrients for our health. The body cannot make omega 3 fatty acids, these are essential fatty acids that are obtained from food.
Omega 3 fatty acids are important for many reasons. Here are a few reasons listed below:
helps reduce inflammation
controls blood clotting
maintains the cell membrane
helps lower the amount of lipids (fats) in the bloodstream
The only true way you can tell if you have an omega 3 fatty acids deficiency is to have a blood test. Even then, it is hard for the doctor to pin point exactly what is causing the symptoms. Because there are other deficiencies that have the same symptoms.
Important: Some people will not convert the medium-chain omega 3 fatty acids to long-chain when consuming flax seeds and hemp seeds and this is due to health challenges, genetics and metabolism.
If you are a vegetarian and you have this issue, you can try consuming coconut oil along with hemp seed or flax seed oil.
You can also try algae, which is the same place that fish get their omega 3 fatty acids. Purslane (a wild herb) and blue-green algae from Klamath Lake contain long-chain omega 3 fatty acids.
