HEALTHY DIET: OMEGA 3 FATTY ACIDS

Omega 3 fatty acids have recently gained a lot of attention from media, health
practitioners and food distributors alike; but what exactly are omega 3 fatty acids,
and what are the nutritional benefits of incorporating fatty acids into a regular
diet? The following nutrition facts regarding omega 3 benefits can help you
understand precisely what the omega 3 foods health buzz is all about.
Omega-3 fatty acids are considered essential fatty acids meaning that they can
only be obtained from food sources in your diet and cannot be manufactured from
other nutrients by the body. In other words, if you do not obtain sufficient
quantities directly from foods containing omega 3 fatty acids, your body cannot
compensate for this deficiency in your diet. Omega 3, as well as Omega 6 fatty
acids, are considered polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). Eating a diet that
balances the quantities of these two PUFAs is a crucial part of maintaining health
 including normal growth and development as well as healthy brain functioning
(since omega 3 acids tend to be concentrated in the brain.)
A healthy balance of these essential fatty acids involves maintaining a ratio of
one omega 3 fatty acid to every four omega 6 fatty acids. The average American
diet is believed to contain exceeding amounts of omega 6 fatty acids, with a
typical ratio of one mega 3 to every 11-30 omega 6 fatty acids. This has made the
intake of sufficient levels of omega 3 fatty acids an important focus for the
American diet.
There are three main types of omega 3 fatty acids that are derived from foods
and that are used by the body: EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid), DHA
(Docosahexaenoic Acid), and ALA (Alpha-Linolenic Acid). EPA and DHA
Omega 3 fatty acids are most readily absorbed and used by the body; however,
ALA fatty acids which are mostly derived from vegetarian food sources are
naturally converted into EPA and DHA by the body.
The following are some common foods containing omega 3 fatty acids:
1. APA: dark green, leafy vegetables; (ground) flax seeds; hemp seeds; (raw)
walnuts; soybeans; pumpkin seeds; certain vegetable oils and oils derived from
omega 3 foods.
2. EPA and DHA: cold water fish including salmon, cod, mackerel, herring,
halibut, sardines, and tuna; fresh seaweed; organically raised animal products such
as free range eggs, chicken, and grass-fed beef.
