How to use Triple Omega 369 | Foods with Omega 3 6 9
Welcome to our channel, thank you for visiting, we appreciate your input, please leave us a comment or a question below. Today we answer the question, what are the best Omega’s for your body.
Fats are an essential component to a healthy diet. Whether you subscribe to vegan, paleo or omnivore eating styles, fat is your friend.
Fats contribute to the flavor and texture of many foods, including oils, nuts, seeds, avocados, salmon and many more of what some consider the healthiest foods on the planet.
Yet on a much deeper and molecular level, fats are critical to several essential functions in our bodies. Did you know that eating some types of fat can actually help reduce your cholesterol and risk for cardiovascular disease? It’s true.
Fats in our food are made up of fatty acid chains, which consist of carbon and hydrogen atoms linked together. There are two major types of fatty acids that we eat: saturated and unsaturated.
Eating too much saturated fat can cause cholesterol to build up in your arteries (blood vessels).
Saturated fats raise your LDL (bad) cholesterol. High LDL cholesterol increases your risk for heart disease and stroke.
Foods like butter, palm and coconut oils, cheese, and red meat have high amounts of saturated fat.
Omega-3, -6, and -9 are all unsaturated fats.
Omega-3’s are known for their benefit to heart health and come in both plant and animal forms.
“Omega-3” refers to the position of the final double bond in the chemical structure, which is three carbon atoms from the “omega,” or tail end of the molecular chain.
Since the human body can’t produce omega-3’s and -6’s, these fats are referred to as “essential fats,” meaning that you have to get them from your diet.
Omega-9’s can be produced by the body. Omega-9 benefits health and reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease.
In the absence of omega-3 and 6 fatty acids, or if someone has low levels of omega-3 and 6, our body uses omega-9. Though omega-9 can be used instead of omega-3 and 6; it isn’t really as efficient.
There’s a catch! You need to take these fatty acids in the right proportion, and yes, it matters the most! Omega-3’s should be taken 2 to 1 over the other Omega’s in order to work effectively.
A low intake of omega-3 fatty acids compared with omega-6s may contribute to inflammation and chronic diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, atherosclerosis, and heart failure
The American Heart Association (AHA) recommends eating at least two portions of fish per week, particularly oily fish, which is rich in omega-3 fatty acids
