The importance of omega-3 fatty acids, as part of your diet, are becoming more prevalent as more and more studies begin to surface. Diets typical of modern America - ones high in omega-6 fatty acids and low in omega-3s - are linked to higher risks of cancer, diabetes, and immunity disorders.
Taking a daily omega-3 supplement, and lowering your omega-6 intake, is even more critical after seeing the effects of an experiment done by University of British Columbia.
Lab studies indicate that the associations between high omega-6 intake and low omega-3, reflects real influences that various patterns of omega-3 and omega-6 fat intake exert over the risks of major chronic diseases.
Both of omega-6 and omega-3, fatty acids are essential to your health. Each one plays a different but critical role in inflammation, metabolism, and vascular health. While high omega-6 intake is not bad, it's the omega-imbalance, especially low omega-3 intake that causes the most damage.
In the experiment,
"pediatric researchers fed one of four milk formulas to groups of infant pigs, to simulate the effects of different maternal intakes of omega-3 and omega-6 fats (Novak EM et al. 2008).In all cases, the piglets’ formulas contain only short-chain omega-3s (ALA) and omega-6s (LA).
The body must first convert these short-chain forms to long-chain omega-3s (DHA and EPA) and omega-6s (AA) before they can be used to build brain cells (neurons) and promote connections between brain cells (dendrites).
Fish fat and oil are the only significant food sources of the long-chain omega-3s (DHA and EPA) essential to human health.
Most of omega-3 fat in most Americans’ diets is the short-chain, plant-source omega-3 called ALA, small amounts of which occur in leafy greens, flaxseed/oil, walnuts, grass-fed meats and poultry, and canola oil.
The results affirmed the indications of prior research, showing that the imbalanced Contemporary diet, which was very high in omega-6 ALA, reduced brain levels of omega-3 DHA and yielded high levels of long-chain omega-6s in the brain."
If you're looking to incorporate more omega-3-fatty acids into your diet, fish is your best bet. The purest choice fish include canned sardines or mackerel, wild Alaskan salmon and sablefish, and small, troll-caught tuna.
If you're not a fish eater, TriVita's Omega Prime is a supplement that gives you the needed omega-3 fatty acid to maintain a healthy omega-3 balance.
TriVita's Omega Prime contains a premier and unique blend of four different types of the most highly regarded Essential Fatty Acids (EFA) oils – Fish, Flaxseed, Evening Primrose and Perilla Seed. It also uses only contaminant-free fish oil that has undergone a 10 stage distilling process.
Omega Prime's EFAs support our wellness in so many ways, starting with helping to reduce runaway inflammation. Many of us don't realize this, but runaway inflammation can lead to various serious health problems in the body involving the heart, arteries, lungs, joints and more.
Omega Prime helps meet the American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines. One daily dose of Omega Prime provides the amount of Omega-3 recommended by the AHA for healthy individuals, as well as for those who have heart disease or the risk of it.
