 There is no doubt that the omega-3 fatty acids are essential to health.
They are fundamental molecules in the structure and activity of the membranes of all cells throughout the body. They also have highly specialised functions in neurological tissues, especially the brain and retina. Because of their role in cell membranes, omgega-3 fatty acids are essential for the formation of new tissue and are therefore important for development and growth.
Known to be essential to brain and vision development during the last three months of pregnancy, the omega-3 fatty acids continue to play a major health role at every stage of life through the prevention and management of certain diseases and chronic conditions. |

Omega 3
There is no doubt that the omega-3 fatty acids are essential to health.
They are fundamental molecules in the structure and activity of the membranes of all cells throughout the body. They also have highly specialised functions in neurological tissues, especially the brain and retina. Because of their role in cell membranes, omgega-3 fatty acids are essential for the formation of new tissue and are therefore important for development and growth.

How does omega-3 aid in weight watching?
The long chain omega-3 polyunsaturates can aid weight loss by enabling each of the body's cells to function in the optimal manner. Accumulation of fat is the body's response to a surplus of energy over needs. When the reverse occurs, as in a weight loss diet, the stored energy (fat) should be liberated and burned.
However, some people appear to have a problem with this mechanism, and it has been suggested that a part of the reason for this is that the membranes which surround each of the body's cells are not functioning in the way they should because their composition is out of balance.
Cell membranes are made up largely of polyunsaturates. We now know that there are two families of polyunsaturates which are important in the make up of cell membranes: the omega-3 family from fish, and the omega-6 family from vegetable oils like sunflower seed oil. Over the past 50 years, diets in the West have changed, to supply about twice as much omega-6, and only half as much omega-3.
Thus the balance has changed. Cell membrane composition has changed too, and some scientists think that this change in membrane composition has made it more difficult for cells to lose the accumulated fat they contain.
Evidence recently published showed that weight loss was greater on a calorie-restricted diet when a small amount of fish oil was added to the diet, compared to the same diet when olive oil was added instead of the fish oil.
Why you should have Omega 3 in your diet.
If you eat plenty of oily fish (e.g. mackerel, herring, sardine, pilchard, salmon) then you don't need to take a supplement. The reason most people (90% of the population according to the Institute for Optimum Nutrition) are deficient in omega-3s is that the typical Western diet has changed so much since the turn of the century.
Our reliance on processed foods, meat and dairy produce means that most of us eat less fish (particularly the oily fish which made regular appearances in the traditional British diet) and fewer of the nuts and seeds that provide vegetable-source omega-3 (which although not as good as fish oils are certainly better than no omega-3s at all). The Department of Health, through its Committee on the Medical Aspects of Food Policy (COMA) recommendations, advises increasing oily fish consumption as does the British Nutrition Foundation.
You may not notice the deficiency now (skin condition is a good indicator - are you sure your skin is as velvety, plump and blemish-free as it could be?), but as you age your body will feel the lack and you will be less able to fend off diseases associated with growing older. Fish and fish oils supply omega-3 nutrients. Cod liver oil also supplies vitamins A and D.
