Taking Omega-3 oils is vital for our health and if you add one new thing to your diet in 2018 alongside the lovely green SuperJuices- let it be Omega-3 oils!
Omega-3 is called an essential fatty acid for a reason – it’s essential for your body to function! You need both omega 3 oils and nutrients as you get them in natural foods, such as your wheatgrass juice, as they support and compliment each other.
What is omega-3 oil?
There are two important omega-3s, DHA and EPA, which are found mainly in oily fish including salmon, mackerel and sardines. You can eat plantbased omega-3 such as linseeds, pecans, hazelnuts and walnuts, which are rich in a third form called ALA, but unfortunately only 5% gets converted into DHA and EPA, which are the important forms. This means ideally you should take fish oils.
Omega-3 vs omega-6
Unfortunately, most of us are not getting enough omega-3. We tend to have much higher levels of a different fatty acid, omega-6, in our diets, found in foods such as vegetable oils and meat.
The problem is that if we get more omega-6 than omega-3, it can cause inflammation, which may be linked to conditions ranging from arthritis, autoimmune disease, cancer to heart disease. As you can see from the table, we should ideally have a 1:1 ratio between omega 6 and omega 3 oils in the body. The problem is that in the western diet we can end up with 15-17 times more omega 6 to omega 3 and this can cause serious chronic diseases.
Research has shown that if we reduce our ratio between omega-6 and omega-3 to 4/1 then there was a 70% decrease in total cardiovascular mortality rate! A ratio of 2.5/1 reduced rectal cell growth in patients with colorectal cancer. The lower 2/1 ratio in women with breast cancer was associated with significant decreased risk. A ratio of 2-3/1 suppressed inflammation in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, and a ratio of 5/1 had a beneficial effect on patients with asthma, whereas a ratio of 10/1 had adverse consequences.
So, as you can see it really matters for your health what your omega-6 to 3 ratio is!
The answer? Up your omega-3 intake & take a test.
It’s recommended we eat one portion of oily fish every week, but actually farmed fish can contain omega-6 because of the diet they are fed!
Other benefits of taking the right quality omega-3 oil with a good balance of DHA and EPA are numerous:
- It can help you sleep better
- It can soothe your skin
- It can lower your blood pressure
- It can boost your memory
- It can ease PMS
- Helps against depression
- AND obviously help prevent the chronic diseases in the table.
Which Omega-3 oil to take?
There are a great many omega-3 oils to choose from on the market, but they are far from all equally good. As I am totally passionate about health and am always on the look-out for top health products that really do make a difference, I want to share with you what company I now use.
I personally recommend the company Zinzino, who in my research has come up top, as the cleanest and most effective omega-3 oil on the market.
Zinzino Omega-3 oil is from 100 % from whole fish with cold-pressed olive oil and vitamin D3 – and added fresh lemon flavour. This means it does not taste of fish (which a good omega-3 should not do) and it is not from fish liver where all the toxins are stored.
Zinzino also offer a top quality vegan oil made from marine algae.
Also, they include a blood test with your order, so you can measure your own omega-3 values before you start. You then measure the level again after 120 days of taking the oil to see how your omega-3 levels have risen. In this way, you can actually follow your increase in heart health and overall health!
Results show that nearly all who have used Zinzino Pure omega 3 Oil for at least 120 days have achieved an improved fatty acid balance.
