    Omega Oils : Why Fatty Acids are Essential

    Introduction: Essential fatty acids (EFAs) are divided into two groups, namely Omega-3 and Omega-6. All essential fatty acids are naturally polyunsaturated, and the 3 or 6 denotes their chemical structure. Essential Fatty Acids cannot be manufactured by the body and have to be acquired by diet and supplementation.

  • Omega-3 are fish or plant-derived oils which have been the subject of a multitude of scientific studies. They not only promote cardiovascular health, but also mood and cognition, as well as skin health. Omega-3 oils act by expanding blood vessels to improve blood flow, reduce inflammation, and lower blood triglyceride levels.
  • Omega-6 oils are only derived from plants. They are involved in a complex interaction that leads to the production of prostoglandins in the body. The body uses prostoglandins to control inflammation, dilate blood vessels, regulate hormones & immune function.

    Omega-3 and Omega-6 work best when taken in balance. Typical Western diets contains large amounts of Linoleic Acid omega 6, but not enough of the other Omega 6 oils and very little Omega-3. The ratio of omega 6 to omega 3 should be about 2:1

    Omega oils & Cardio-Vascular Health: Omega-3 and Omega-6 oils help reduce the levels of other, undesirable fats such as cholesterol and triglycerides. There is also some evidence to show that the omega-3s can protect against thrombotic stroke by promoting healthy blood flow. Omega-3s are also helpful in maintaining blood circulation to the extremities and delay spasm of the blood vessels.
