The benefits of Fish Oil - Fatty Acids, Omega 3 and Omega 6

The health benefits of oily fish can be mainly attributed to its fatty acid content. There are 2 types of fatty acid: Omega 3 and Omega 6. When we ingest Omega 3 our body breaks the fatty acids down to 2 other fatty acids - Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and these are the components our body uses for many essential activities such as the maintenance of eye health, cell membrane integrity, skin health, joint mobility, normal liver function. It is now evident that all aspects of our health are influenced by our intake of these precious nutrients, whatever our age. That is why they are now added to baby foods, and why the Government recommends we eat oily fish at least twice a week.

Omega 6 and Omega 3 Balance

The human body needs not only sufficient amounts of both Omega 3 and Omega 6 but also a suitable ratio between the two. Oily fish are rich in Omega 3 fatty acids, whilst Grains are a rich source of Omega 6. With the fall in our consumption of fish and the wide availability of convenience foods which feature grain and seed oils, the ratio of these two fatty acids in the diet has swung dramatically in favour of Omega 6 and reduced the amount of Omega 3. We therefore need to increase our intake of Omega 3 fatty acids to regain the beneficial balance of oils in our diet and reap the health benefits they can give.

The Beneficial Components of Omega 3 - DHA/EPA

When we ingest Omega 3 our body breaks the fatty acids down to 2 other fatty acids EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid) DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid). DHA and EPA are used in the membranes in every body tissue where their presence has both a stabilising and anti-inflammatory effect on the tissue. Doctors and nutritionists are noticing that some people are unable to efficiently break down Omega 3 into the useful DHA and EPA components, which is why many people are now advised to supplement with clean, stable, whole body fish oils. These nutrients are particularly known for their benefits in the following organs and tissues:

• Brain
• Heart
• Lungs
• Skin
• Fertility
• Joints
• Circulation

Will Fish Oil Make Me Fat?

No! 2 grams of Omega 3 would only contain 18 calories. Almost all Omega 3 ingested is used for essential body processes.
