Health Information
The Omega 3 story. Flax seed oil is nature's richest source of the Omega-3 essential fatty acid (EFA) alpha linolenic acid. It is important to realise that essential means just that; we absolutely have to have them to live and be healthy, as our bodies cannot make them. Because of this, we have to obtain them from our food or from supplements.
So what do Omega-3 EFA's do in the body? They are required for the transport and metabolism of both cholesterol and triglycerides. They are able to lower cholesterol levels by up to 25% and high triglycerides by up to 65%. They are required for normal development and function of the brain.
The highest concentration of Omega-3 EFA's occur in the brain and retina and there is irreversible damage to vision and learning ability if the foetus and young baby are deficient in omega-3 EFA's. Recent research is linking brain disorders as diverse as multiple sclerosis, post natal depression, schizophrenia and attention deficit (hyperactivity) disorder (ADD/ADHD) with a lack of Omega-3 EFA's.
Omega-3 EFA's are required in the structure of the membranes that surround each cell and organelle in the body. A lack of omega-3 EFA's causes leaky membranes, allowing substances which ought not, to pass in and out of the cell. This has been related to health problems such as allergies, eczema, skin conditions, asthma etc. Omega-3 EFA's and sulphur amino acids together are involved in oxygen transport across the cell membranes. They increase lowered vitality and many people feel an increase in energy when first taking flax seed oil.
Muscles recover more rapidly after exercise, because of an increased rate of lactic acid breakdown and athletes often experience improved performance. At high levels of intake (45-60ml of oil per day) metabolic rate is increased which can assist in burning excess body fat. Because of this increased oxygen transport, Omega-3 EFA's and sulphur amino acids together effectively improve blood circulation and therefore decrease the risk of gangrene in diabetics. Omega-3 EFA's slow down the growth of cancer cells, candida and other anaerobic organisms which cannot live in the presence of oxygen. Flax seed oil has also been proven to be beneficial in treatment programs in diabetes; as Omega-3 EFA's have the function of normalising fat metabolism and decreasing the amount of insulin required by diabetics. Most people would benefit from taking a supplement high in essential fatty acids.
