Super Omega-3

Desaturase and elongase enzymes responsible for these conversions vary in functionality from species to species, within the same species, and even within the same individual under differing circumstances. Additionally, it is believed, these enzyme systems can be affected adversely by various toxins and disease states. Thus not only diet, but environmental and genetic factors can influence eicosanoid balances.

In animal species, sufficient enzyme systems do not exist to permit formation of unsaturated bonds in the omega-3 and the omega-6 positions. Therefore, as discussed previously,

omega-3 and -6 fatty acids are essential dietary constituents. Plant chloroplasts, on the other hand, have the enzyme systems necessary to form these omega-3 and -6 fatty acids and thus plant food sources become the ultimate source of these essential fatty acids for animals. This means even if an animal is a carnivore, it is consuming prey which in turn has consumed plant material containing these essential fatty acids. Such is the case for fish which concentrate high levels of omega-3 coming up to them through the food chain from phytoplankton.

A natural diet consisting of fresh, raw foods provides an entirely different spectrum of fatty acids than does the modern fare of fractionated, processed, stored, and otherwise altered foods. In a natural diet a wide range of fatty acids will be supplied in their biologically protected and active form. Fatty acids of the omega-3, -6 and -9 families will all be present in the ratios in which life was originally adapted to utilize them. Under these circumstances, eicosanoids are more likely to be properly in balance.

In the modem diet, however, it is possible to receive virtually no omega-3 fatty acids, extremely high levels of saturated fatty acids, oxidized cholesterol, trans-fatty acids and other isomers, and large proportions of omega-6 fatty acids as well as various oxidized forms of these fatty acids which result inevitably from processing. Such conditions imbalance eicosanoids by providing improper starting materials for eicosanoid synthesis and by introducing toxic elements which interfere with enzymatic pathways.

Proper nutrition should therefore be directed toward restoring the natural, unaltered diet and the elimination, as much as possible, of foods comprised of lipids in inappropriate ratios and altered from their natural forms.

Omega-3 And Your Childrens Brainpower

It is a Fact now that a daily dose of omega 3 Fatty Acids will boost the brain development of children by three years in only three months.

Children given capsules of Omega-3 grew additional “grey matter” which helps intelligence.

Brain scans, which showed the evidence of changes, were reinforced by results in tests of reading, concentration and short-term memory.

Children who took part in the study increased their reading ability by an average of a year and a quarter during the Omega 3 trial.

Scans showed their brains developed three years in as many months as nerve fibres grew additional branches.

This proves that our children are deficient in “smart fats” other wise known as Omega 3 Fatty Acids, healthy “FATS” not junk food full of sugar.

Professor Basant Puri, who led the research, states that our children need Omega-3 supplements to give them a better intelligence and a more balanced life.

The reason being children are unlikely to consume their daily dose of Omega 3 through eating their daily normal diet, they need to be given supplements of high quality fish oil.

The facts are irrefutable that Omega 3 essential fatty acids will improve your Childs learning power, concentration and behaviour.

Professor Basant Puri, who is the head of imaging
And psychiatry at the Imperial College London stated that after 3 months of omega-3 supplements remarkable improvements where seen in the children.

The average increase in their reading age was a year and a quarter and their handwriting became more accurate.

Another research proved equally positive.

A scientific trail in question was performed in the south east of England on a group of normal lively school children.

When the scientific data was published the daily papers in the UK all carried the amazing story of how school children between 6 and 12 were given 6 high-grade fish oil capsules per day for a minimum of 12 weeks.
