THE HEALTHY FATS: MAINTAINING OMEGA 6 AND<br />
OMEGA 3 BALANCE<br />
OMEGA 6 AND OMEGA 3 ARE THE FRIENDLY AND HEALTHY FATS AND THAT I S WHY THEY ARE KNOWN AS<br />
ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS.
MEANING OF OMEGA 6 AND OMEGA 3 BALANCE<br />
▪ <strong>Omega</strong> 3 <strong>and</strong> <strong>Omega</strong> 3 are polyunsaturated fatty acids that vary from each other in<br />
their chemical structure.<br />
▪ <strong>The</strong>y have opposite effect in the human body.<br />
▪ <strong>Omega</strong> 6 is pro-inflammatory <strong>and</strong> <strong>Omega</strong>-3 is anti-inflammatory <strong>and</strong> that is the<br />
reason why we need to maintain a perfect balance of omega 6 to omega 3.<br />
▪ Too much of omega 6 <strong>and</strong> too little of omega 3 can be disastrous <strong>and</strong> is the root<br />
cause of many modern day diseases.
INTAKE OF MARINE OMEGA-3 (EPA + DHA)
WHY THE IMBALANCE?<br />
OMEGA-3S ARE VERY VITAL TO MAINTAIN A HEALTHY BODY. THEY AID US IN MULTIPLE<br />
WAYS – THEY HELP IN BRAIN AND EYE DEVELOPMENT OF INFANTS RIGHT FROM THE TIME<br />
OF BIRTH, THEY HELP BY REDUCING INFLAMMATION IN THE BODY AND LOWERING THE RISK<br />
OF CHRONIC DEGENERATIVE DISEASES LIKE HEART DISEASE, ARTHRITIS, DEMENTIA,<br />
DIABETES, AND EVEN CERTAIN TYPES OF CANCER.<br />
JUST LIKE OMEGA 3 OMEGA 6 TOO PLAYS A CRITICAL ROLE IN BRAIN FUNCTION, SKIN CARE<br />
AND IN MAINTAINING JOINT HEALTH AND REGULATING METABOLISM.<br />
HOWEVER, DUE TO WAY TOO MUCH OF OMEGA 6 IN OUR DAILY DIETS, ALMOST EVERY<br />
HUMAN TODAY HAS A HUGE IMBALANCE OF OMEGA 6 TO OMEGA 3. OMEGA 6 CAN BE<br />
FOUND IN ABUNDANCE IN THE COOKING OIL WE USE - SOYBEAN, SUNFLOWER, PEANUT,<br />
CORN AND CANOLA OILS. MANY RESEARCHERS TODAY BELIEVE THE LEADING REASON<br />
BEHIND THE HIGH INCIDENCES OF AILMENTS LIKE CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE, ALZHEIMER,<br />
DIABETES, ARTHRITIS, OBESITY IS THE EXCEEDINGLY IMBALANCED INTAKE OF OMEGA-6<br />
AND OMEGA-3.
OMEGA 6 AND OMEGA 3<br />
BALANCE<br />
• <strong>The</strong> best way to maintain a healthy<br />
omega 6 <strong>and</strong> omega 3 balance is to<br />
increase the intake of omega 3 rich<br />
food <strong>and</strong> reduce intake of products<br />
(harmful cooking oils) that contain<br />
omega 6.<br />
• Cold water fishes like mackerel,<br />
salmon, sardines, herring <strong>and</strong> a few<br />
shellfishes like oyster <strong>and</strong> crab have<br />
the highest levels of omega 3<br />
content.<br />
• Some of the plant based <strong>Omega</strong>-3<br />
rich foods are flaxseed, walnut, chia<br />
seed, broccoli, <strong>and</strong> hemp seeds.
