'Omega-3' is a type
of unsaturated fat. As only health-conscious people know, saturated fat is bad
for the heart. Foods containing oil and fat are therefore not acceptable after a
certain age. But eating foods rich in unsaturated fats is not prohibited, rather
it increases the number of beneficial fats in the blood and has many benefits
for the body. There are several types of 'omega-3' fats in nature. Among them,
'alpha linoleic' acid is found in some vegetable foods or oils. On the other
hand, 'Eicosa pentanoic acid' and 'Docosa hexanoic acid' are found in seafood.
According to medical scientists, there are three main ingredients in our diet.
Carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Among these, the main function of fat is to
provide energy to the body. Fat provides more than twice as much energy as an
equivalent amount of carbohydrate or protein. There are three types of body fat
- triglycerides, Cholesterol, and phospholipids. The number of triglycerides is
the highest among them. Triglycerides are formed by combining three fatty acids
with glycerol. Fats made up of saturated or saturated fatty acids increase
cholesterol levels in the body and stick to the lining of the arteries. In this,
the diameter of the artery becomes smaller. As a result, blood pressure
increases. Sources of saturated fatty acids include milk, ghee, butter, meat,
cream, eggs, chocolate, etc. These saturated fatty acids are solid at room
temperature while unsaturated fatty acids are liquid. Monounsaturated fats are
found in all types of nuts, olive oil, and canola oil. Monounsaturated fats
lower LDL, the bad cholesterol in the blood. So its use undoubtedly prevents
cholesterol-related artery disease by reducing the level of bad cholesterol or
LDL in the blood. Polyunsaturated fats are found in soybean, sunflower oil,
corn, etc. Omega-3 functions In corn etc. Omega-3 functions In corn etc. Omega-3

clotting, increasing the effectiveness of insulin, reducing blood cholesterol,
reducing platelet aggregation, reducing blood triglycerides, preventing the
growth of cancer cells, thickening blood vessels, helping to expand blood
vessels, increasing the body's immunity, etc.
Diseases in which Omega-3 is
beneficial Preventing heart disease, keeping the heart strong, controlling blood
triglycerides, and preventing strokes by lowering cholesterol. A sufficient amount
of omega-3 fatty acid is required for increasing the body's immunity, reducing
blood pressure, mental diseases such as depression, dementia, attention deficit
hyperactivity disorder, and healthy growth of children. Prevention of cancer,
rheumatoid arthritis, etc. Where are omega-3s found? Omega-3 is found in
vegetable oils such as linseed oil and canola oil. which is not used in our
country. Meanwhile, due to the high content of omega-6 in soybean oil, it should
be used in moderation. Marine fish oil is an excellent source of omega-3. In
addition, studies have found that omega-3 can be found in fish oil such as roe
fish, pangus, magur among native fish; So that the balance of Omega-3 and 6 is
present in precisely the right amount. Omega-3s are also found in seeds. Fish
eggs contain a good amount of omega-3 along with harmful fats. 1 teaspoon of
fish eggs contains about 342 mg of omega-3. A variety of nuts contain omega-3.
Nuts such as walnuts, and pistachios have the highest amount of them. Vegetables
such as spinach, Broccoli, etc. contain a substantial amount of omega-3 fatty
acids. Purnava Limited is marketing eggs rich in omega-3 fatty acids in the
country's market. Meanwhile, excessive omega-3 (more than 3 grams) a day
increases the risk of serious diseases such as stroke. Therefore, the balance of
Omega-3 and 6 should be taken knowingly.
