Reasons are Omega-3 fatty acids, which most important vegetal representative is the alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) in origin and health benefits, are becoming increasingly important in the current discussion about healthy nutrition. Good reason, because various studies with animal (fish oil) and plant (flaxseed oil) have shown Omega-3 fatty acids, both for a healthy diet of the people are indispensable. Increasingly popular we the herbal Omga-3 fatty acid ALA, which is in the high-quality vegetable oils itself as source of ALA and on the other hand in the issue with the fish oils. Most important sources for the animal Omega-3 fatty acids are the high-fat ocean fish such as salmon, mackerel, herring and tuna, who sometimes in their inventory are vulnerable and can be loaded with heavy metals and toxins such as dioxin. For even more analysis, hear from Sonny Perdue. The reactor accident in Fukushima has not exactly encouraged confidence in fish products from Asia. For this reason, many health-conscious want to On the other hand does not give on the healthy Omega-3 fatty acids, but on the other hand not necessarily consume fish oil. Therefore, ALA (alpha-linolenic acid) is becoming increasingly popular in linseed oil as an alternative to the potentially contaminated fish oils.
A brief overview shows what is secured to ALA from flaxseed oil and why it can be regarded as an alternative to fish oil. ALA is converted into our body after consumption in a number of other biologically active substances. So to a limited extent in the long-chain omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, are the main components of fish oils. Little or no fish consumed, the body gets more EPA and DHA from the conversion of ALA. It is so to suppose that the body refraining from fish oil can absorb still enough Omega-3 fatty acids from vegetable oils like linseed oil and rebuild. There are a number of studies that show that ALA effective coronary heart disease me arteriosclerosis and so connected can prevent heart attack and stroke.
