24.01.2022 MEET THE OMEGAS: HEALTH BENEFITS OF OMEGAS 3, 5, 6, 7 AND 9 There’s no doubt you’ve heard of popular omega-3 fatty acids. Found in fatty fish such as salmon and tuna, omega-3s have benefits for almost every part of your body. But, did you know that omega-3s aren’t the only game in town? Other members of the omega family include omega-5, omega-6, omega-7 and omega-9. So, what’s the story? Are all omegas of equal value? Do you need them all? Here’s a quick primer on omega fatty... acids including what they do and where to find them! Researched Benefits Omega-3: The research is most plentiful for omega-3, with over 8,000 studies published about them, to date. Studies confirm that omega-3 fatty acids: Support cardiovascular health by improving blood lipids and supporting cardiac longevity Promote cognitive health in seniors, by alleviating mild memory problems associated with ageing Promote a healthy pregnancy by supporting normal fetal brain and eye development and a healthy birth weight Help with emotional challenges in people by decreasing mood swings and oppositional behaviour Omega-6: Another category of essential fatty acids, omega-6 is the second-most researched group of omegas. Multiple studies have found that omega-6 fatty acids: Reduce inflammation Support cardiovascular health by helping maintain lipid levels already within a healthy range Other Omegas: This is an area of increasing clinical research. More and more studies are published each year on the benefits of omega-5, 7 and 9, including: Omega-5 and 7 fatty acids may help with skin health and hair growth, and could help in regulating blood sugar Omega-5 and 9 fatty acids may help the body effectively respond to inflammation, and play a role in immune response One thing that all omegas have in common is that, on average, people typically don’t get enough of these important nutrients in the food that they eat each day. So, how can we change that? WITH OUR OMEGA BLEND OF COURSE!
