One of the most important elements that promote wellness and weight loss is Omega-3.
Omega-3 fatty acids prevent the formation of cholesterol plaques,
eliminate inflammation in the endothelium,
Reduce and normalize blood pressure by weakening the action of stress hormones, particularly cortisol.
Omega-3 also reduce blood viscosity, which means it reduces the risk of stroke or thrombosis; accelerates fat metabolism;
reduces insulin resistance and regulates blood sugar levels;
restores damaged neurons, neural connections;
increases overall tone and endurance;
accelerates the growth of muscle fibers;
improves joint mobility and restoration of joint cartilage;
Improves skin conditions, prevents the formation of free radicals, inflammation and necrosis.
Reducing the percentage of omega-3 PUFAs in cell membranes is one of the risk factors for insulin resistance and reactive hyperinsulinemia, which in turn are some of the most important mechanisms of the development and progression of obesity.
Walnuts, soybeans, flax seeds, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts, and fish such as sardine, tuna, salmon and herring contain the most omega-3s. Eels, krill, and algae have a lot of these fatty acids.
