Generally speaking, there are TWO primary benefits Omega 3 essential acids have on our bodies include: 1. Cellular Membrane Components: The outer membrane of human cells act as a gateway allowing raw materials in, and processed materials out. This outer membrane requires a constant turnover of PUFA's to remain functional. Omega 3's are an essential part of this replenishment. A shortage of Omega 3 reduces the ability of cells to efficiently perform their function, leading to nutrient starvation and chronic illnesses. 2. Production of Eicosanoids: Omega 3 is also converted into another class of chemical called eicosanoids, (a specific chemical/hormone group which are essential to regular healthy functioning) the most critical of which are prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are important for the regulation of inflammation, pain, swelling, blood pressure, heart function, gastrointestinal function and secretions, kidney function and fluid balance, blood clotting and platelet aggregation, allergic response, nerve transmission, steroid production and hormone synthesis. If the diet is inadequate, the omega3 prostaglandins produced are either lacking or unbalanced, leading to dysfunction of these vital bodily activities. What's In It?
