The harm of lack of linolenic acid in the body

Linolenic acid is an indispensable substance for our body and plays a critical role in physical health. If the body lacks linoleic acid, abnormalities will occur in the endocrine system, reproductive system, immune system, etc., and a series of problems such as blood viscosity and increased blood lipids will occur. Therefore, when you find that your body lacks linoleic acid, you must supplement it in time to maintain your physical health.

Elevated blood lipids induce cerebral hemorrhage

α-linolenic acid is a polyunsaturated fatty acid and an essential fatty acid. α-linolenic acid is a core substance of life and an important component of human brain cells and tissue cells. It is a nutrient that humans need every day throughout their lives. Insufficient intake of linolenic acid can increase the neutral fat (cholesterol, triglyceride) content in plasma, leading to the appearance of three highs. Once blood pressure is unstable for a long time and hypertension is formed, cerebral hemorrhage may occur at any time, which is very dangerous!

Blood clots and strokes always occur

If linoleic acid is not supplemented enough, excessive linoleic acid will rob linolenic acid of its fat-converting enzyme, resulting in excessive saturated fatty acids and lipid deposition, which can easily form atherosclerotic plaques, block cerebral blood vessels, and cause stroke!

Cell membranes are stiff and blood vessels are inelastic

If linolenic acid intake is insufficient, saturated fatty acids will replace linolenic acid in the cell membrane. The cell membrane constructed by saturated fatty acids is rigid and lacks elasticity, which will cause blood vessels to harden and rupture easily!

Fetal mental retardation

Linolenic acid is also very important for pregnant women. If pregnant women are deficient in it, they will have the following symptoms: low intelligence retardation in the newborn, poor eyesight, slow reaction, weak resistance, fetal maldevelopment, fetal size is smaller than normal, pregnant women will also have poor sleep, irritability, lack of energy, frequent fatigue, rapid weight gain, less fetal milk, low milk quality, overweight after delivery, slow recovery of body shape, skin, and energy.

Abnormal lipid metabolism

Once people lack this linolenic acid, it will cause disorders and abnormalities in the body's lipid metabolism, immune, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular, reproductive, endocrine and other systems, leading to increased blood lipids, blood viscosity, rapid decline in immunity, forgetfulness, fatigue, vision loss, atherosclerosis, insulin metabolism imbalance and other symptoms, thereby causing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, diabetes and other diseases.
