The truth is that certain fats are absolutely essential to our health.
Saturated fats, the type you’ll find in cakes, cookies, chips and dairy products, should be avoided in large quantities, as these can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.
But, unsaturated fats and especially polyunsaturated fats are needed to allow our bodies to function properly. Every single cell in our body needs fat and these fats in particular are essential to our overall health and wellbeing.
Building and repairing cells
Regulating blood pressure
Strengthening kidneys
Strengthening immune system
Protecting our internal organs
Fat is also needed to enable the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. Without fat our bodies can’t properly absorb vitamins and minerals. That means eating a vitamin-rich diet and taking regular supplements is unprofitable unless our bodies are getting the right amount of fat at the same time.
Omega-3 and omega-6 are polyunsaturated fats that the body cannot produce itself. As a result, we need to get the right amount of these vital fats through our diet.
The list above details just some of the benefits of omega-3, but did you know that omega-3 can also reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease?
The benefits of omega-3 and omega-6 are manifold, but getting the right balance of these two essential fats is crucial.
Typically, the food we consume contains higher levels of omega-6 than omega-3. That means it’s much easier to get the right amount of omega-6 than it is omega-3.
According to the National Food Administration, the recommended daily dose of omega-3 that our body requires is 3 grams. That’s about as much omega-3 as there is in one serving of salmon. Getting the right amount of omega-3 through your diet can be difficult if you, for example, do not like or eat a lot of fish.
One of the best ways to ensure your body is getting enough omega-3 is by taking a supplement.
Choosing the right supplement is key as there are a lot of poor quality products on the market that don’t meet the strict requirements laid down by the EU.
At Ivitapure, our goal is to spread awareness about the benefits of our high quality supplements, improving the health of as many people as possible. That’s why we only work with the absolute purest produced omega-3 that is of the very highest quality.
We’re aiming towards a happier life for all our fellow human beings!
