Why Omega-3's are So Essential to Our Health
The long chain omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, found in the
greatest abundance in fish and fish oil but also in some other
foods as well, play a key role as components of cellular
membranes. During the regular aging process, cell membranes
become much more rigid. This can adversely effect the function
of tissues throughout the body, including the brain. Perhaps the
top asset to the brain of them all is DHA, the principal
polyunsaturated fat in the central nervous system. DHA is
appears to have a very direct effect on brain chemistry,
development and functioning. DHA is essential for both kids and
adults, but DHA is as vital to a kid's diet as sitcoms are to
prime time television. The top source of omega-3 fatty acids of
them all is cold-water fish and fish oils, but omega-3 fatty
acids can also be found in varying quantities in other foods
such as certain vegetable oils walnuts, almonds, sunflower
seeds, peanuts, flaxseed and also eggs. The bottom line is,
Omega-3 fatty acids appear to protect the brain, which is why
many physicians recommend taking an omega-3 supplement, usually
fish oil because of it's high concentration of readily absorbed
dha and epa (flax and other sources have to be converted in the
body instead of being directly assimilated). Even our President
and Governer Shwarzenagger take omega-3 supplements. There have
been a considerable amount of clinical research studies
conducted related to the benefits of omega-3 dietary supplements
(especially fish oil) in certain inflammatory and autoimmune
diseases in people, including but not limited to arthritis,
ulcerative colitis, lupus erythematosus, multiple sclerosis and
heart disease. This research goes back to 1970's Greenland and
beyond. Some if not most of the placebo trials of fish oil in
inflammatory conditions show substantial benefits such as for
example a lessened disease activity and a lower overall
requirement of various anti-inflammatory drugs. Because omega-3
fatty acids are a very key component of development during the
entire course of a person's life cycle, they should be included
in the diets of each individual. Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids
are not interconvertible in the body and are therefore vital
components of almost all cell membranes.
