Understanding Cell Membranes and Fatty Acids
As humans, we are mammals with an intricate system that separates us from outside threats. Membranes are critical structures admitting or rejecting the myriad of molecules presented to them.
Omega 3 fatty acids are essential building blocks of our bodies and like a house, any breakdown in the doors or walls can cause all sorts of problems.
Natural Sources of Essential Fatty Acids
Fatty fish such as sardines, salmon, halibut and mackerel are high in these building blocks and promote maximal health.
Healthy populations throughout the world including Porto, Portugal include sardines as a staple in their diet. They make a fantastic appetizer.
If you don’t have access to fresh sardines as they do in Portugal, then you can find them expertly packed and canned.
Remember:
– Fish oil can become rancid leading to adverse effects. We suggest keeping it in the freezer. That will also make the capsules very easy to swallow.
– The best fish oils have a proper mix of Omega 3, 6 and 9 fatty acids.
– Omega 9 fatty acids can reduce inflammation which is a basic cause of many chronic diseases. They help improve heart health and control cholesterol. Nuts, olive oil and avocados are good sources
