Omega3 Fats On Steroids!

Omega3 Fats On Steroids!

By Steve Zones


There is an enormous amount of data available on the results of fatty acids as well as their value. The phrase 'Omega-3' is a buzzword in health nowadays, but hardly any know precisely the way to increase effect of this oil.

Unsaturated fats, or "good fats", have got a liquid consistency at 70 degrees. They will remain in fluid form after cooling. Good fats are referred to as vital fats: omega-3 and omega 6 with both being unsaturated fats.


Do you know how much intake of essential fatty acids has been altered in the last 100 years? The proportion of Omega-6 to Omega-3 should be close to 1:1. However, today it is more like 10:1 and up to 20:1. The clear reason for this development is the addition of corn, sunflower, safflower, sesame and other Omega-6 oils to the modern diet. There are many scientists who believe this is clear factor in higher incidences of chronic medical conditions such as: heart disease, arthritis, asthma, acne, obesity and depression. Have no doubt that we must increase intake of Omega-3 fatty acids and lower the Omega-6 (linoleic acid) oils in our diet.

Think of fat as a form of energy, or a source of energy. Now, this energy is needed during aerobic exercise. A good benchmark is that a longer duration exercise means there is more fat contribution for providing energy. Your nervous system and brain uses fat in larger amounts. Most of us know there are two kinds of fat: saturated and unsaturated. Unsaturated fats are often called - "good" fat, and these are the fats that should make up the greatest amount of fat intake.

Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA) is an Omega-6 fatty acid found in borage oil where it occurs in considerable quantities. It is also found in smaller amounts in black currant and evening primrose oils. Contrast this to the sunflower, safflower and other Omega-6 oils, the GLA found in borage oil has markedly different physiological effects. Linoleic acid in its present dietary form causes inflammation. This is caused by an associated production of arachidonic acid (AA). GLA plays an interfering role in the production of AA and this lowers inflammation.

The Omegasentials product is granular - you sprinkle it on no matter what you're eating, rendering it simple to prepare and take in. The numerous options in dietary supplements can be puzzling, but there may finally be a product hat includes all bases.
