What are the effects of Omega 3

At least 58 kinds of diseases in our body are caused by the lack of omega-3. Omega-3 is a very important nutrient needed by our body. Simply put, it is a fatty acid, which is a nutrient found in the oil we eat. Omega-3 is mainly found in hemp oil, flax oil and sea buckthorn oil. The walnuts we often eat also contain omega-3, but the content is relatively small. If our body is seriously deficient in omega-3, it will lead to high blood pressure, high blood lipids, diabetes and cancer, and will also cause sudden outbreaks of various chronic diseases. Now let’s talk about the effects of omega-3.

Omega 3 Benefits

1. Promote cardiovascular health

Omega-3 can lower the amount of LDL "bad" cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood, while increasing the amount of HDL "good" cholesterol. It also makes blood vessels more unobstructed, healthier and more elastic, while reducing blood cells filled with cholesterol and preventing the formation of clots that can block blood vessels. This will significantly reduce the risk of heart attack or stroke.

2. Relieve joint pain and discomfort

Omega-3 has anti-inflammatory effects, can reduce swelling and pain, and relieve the discomfort of arthritis. Clinical studies have shown that it can reduce morning stiffness, make joints less painful or swollen, and reduce fatigue.

3. Eliminate Migraines

Clinical studies have shown that Omega-3 can help inhibit the secretion of "bad" prostaglandins that cause pain and inflammation. It can also reduce blood viscosity to promote blood circulation in the brain. This will reduce the number of migraine attacks, as well as their severity and duration. Omega-3 is a nutritional supplement recommended by the American Headache Foundation.

4. Makes the skin look youthful and healthy

Omega-3 helps keep the skin balanced, moisturized and healthy. It can strengthen the delicate cell membrane surrounding each cell, allowing the cells to obtain adequate nourishment, while effectively eliminating waste within the cells. It can make the dermis secrete stronger collagen and elastic fibers, help eliminate wrinkles and fine lines, and firm up sagging skin. Common skin problems caused by Omega-3 deficiency include rough skin, dense acne, cracked heels, eczema, psoriasis, acne, blackheads and whiteheads.

5. Lower blood sugar and prevent diabetes

Diabetic patients usually have higher triglycerides and lower high-density lipoprotein levels, and omega-3 can help reduce the levels of triglycerides and apoproteins - the "culprits" that cause diabetes - while increasing high-density lipoprotein levels.

Omega 3 effects:

(1) Promote the excretion of neutral or acidic cholesterol from feces, inhibit the synthesis of lipids and lipoproteins in the liver, reduce plasma cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL, VLDL, and increase HDL.

(2) Participate in the metabolism of arachidonic acid. Produce prostaglandin compounds PGI3 and TXA3. The metabolites of arachidonic acid are prostacyclin (PGI2) and thromboxane (TXA2); PGI2 can dilate blood vessels, resist platelet aggregation, and prevent thrombosis; TXA2 can cause vasospasm, promote platelet aggregation and thrombosis. The effect of PGI3 is the same as that of PGI2; however, TXA3 does not have the effect of TXA2. Therefore, EPA and DHA have vasodilatory, anti-platelet aggregation and anti-thrombotic effects.

(3) Anti-arrhythmia and lower heart rate

(4) Lower blood pressure. It can be used to prevent hyperlipoproteinemia, atherosclerosis, and coronary heart disease.
