OMEGA 3

Fish oil

Omega 3s are polyunsaturated fatty acids. There are Omega 3s of vegetable origin and short chain and of marine origin and long chain. The latter are mainly extracted from cold-water, deep-sea fish such as salmon, tuna, mackerel, sardines, etc. The most important Omega 3s are eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic (DHA).
Omega 3s are considered to be essential because they are not synthesized by our bodies. They are essential for the development and protection of the body; therefore, it is crucial to incorporate them through diet or food supplements.

Properties

Omega 3s are part of the structure of cell membranes and the composition of the brain. During the last months of gestation and the first months of lactation, the brain must incorporate a large amount of Omega 3s, especially DHA, to facilitate its maturation and neurological and visual development. There is scientific evidence that associates Omega 3s with a correct functioning of the immune system and a vasodilator action, thus lowering blood pressure. An adequate level of Omega 3 intake helps to normalize triglyceride and cholesterol levels. It promotes blood circulation by preventing the formation of clots due to its antiplatelet action, and it improves the dilation of the arteries.

WHAT NUTRITIONAL HABITS DO YOU NEED TO INCORPORATE INTO YOUR DIET?

Hydration

Water represents about 70% of our body. It is an essential element for the normal development of all physiological processes, such as digestion in the absorption and elimination of metabolic wastes, and for the functioning of the circulatory system since water is part of our blood.

Fruit and vegetables

The World Health Organization has established the need to eat fruit and vegetables every day since they contain the vitamins, minerals and antioxidants necessary to protect our health and prevent diseases. Two vegetable dishes and three pieces of fruit a day are recommended.

Salt

The World Health Organization recommends reducing our salt intake to prevent the risk of hypertension, which is one of the main risk factors for heart disease. Eliminating the salt shaker from the table, cooking with less salt and reducing the consumption of canned food is a good way to achieve this goal.

Fiber

Consumption of dietary fiber, which can be found mainly in fruit, vegetables, whole grains and legumes, prevents constipation. Fiber also provides other health benefits, such as helping to maintain a healthy weight and reducing the risk of diabetes.

Supplements

Food supplements are products specially designed to supplement the incorporation of nutrients when it is not possible to follow an ideal diet; this could be due to a particular physiological condition requiring the extra contribution of a nutrient.
