A Closer Look

Knowledge of the Omega-3 fatty acids as a part of our essential nutrients has been in existence since the 1930s, but it wasn’t until the 1970s that public attention was drawn to it. Due to information gained by a group of researchers studying how the Greenland Inuit Tribe managed to have virtually no cardiovascular disease, the world’s focus shifted with great anticipation to whether this phenomenon was a result of their diet. Since then, ongoing health studies continue to seek whatever benefits can be derived from a diet that includes this wonderful nutrient. These days we realize that Omega-3 fatty acids are part of the essential nutrients we should include in a healthy diet.

The three fatty acids in reference are a-Linolenic Acid (ALA), Eicosapentaenoic Acid, (ELA) and Docosahexanenoic Acid (DHA). Although many people try to exclude ‘fats’ from their diet, our metabolism needs these particular unsaturated fats and the body cannot produce them on its own. Sources of the Omega 3 fatty acids typically come from oily fish, and in the Smoothie Essentials Blend the source is sardines. Because people need the benefits of Omega-3 but would shy away from eating the amount of food required to get it, the Smoothie Essentials Blend is a very quick and easy solution.

People who choose to include Omega-3 in their supplements do so for various reasons. Ongoing studies are researching the effects Omega-3 fatty acids might have on asthma, cancer, cardiovascular and heart disease, child and maternal health, cognitive function, eye health and mental health just to name a few. Fatty-acid deficiencies can lead to various symptoms including dry skin, fatigue, poor memory, depression, or poor circulation.

As with all other vitamin and dietary supplements available in the market place, it is always a good choice to consult with your healthcare provider.
