The Health Benefits of Omega

What is Omega-3 Fatty Acid?

Omega-3 fatty acid (Alpha-linolenic acid) is an essential fatty acid that plays an important role in brain function and may help you fight against cardiovascular disease [1]. The American Heart Association recommends a diet in which fatty fish, like salmon, herring, sardines and tuna are consumed at least twice a week.

While these foods are high in omega-3 fatty acid, I personally do not agree with this recommendation as fish can be contaminated and may be high in mercury, which can have detrimental health effects. Plus, I believe a raw food diet consisting of little to no meat is better for the human body.






Health Benefits of Omega-3 Fatty Acid

Research on the health benefits of omega-3 fatty acid have shown that it may be useful for supporting the following:
  • Asthma
  • Diabetes
  • Arthritis
  • Osteoporosis
  • Some Cancers
  • Skin Disorders
  • High Cholesterol
  • High Blood Pressure
  • Attention Disorders
  • Depressive Disorders
  • Macular Degeneration
  • Digestive Difficulties


What is Omega-6 Fatty Acid?

Omega-6 fatty acid (Linoleic Acid) combined with omega-3 fatty acid produces many of the health benefits described above, but the trickiest part about playing the fatty acid game is that it is best to eat them in the right amounts.

You should be eating about twice as much omega-6 as omega-3, so that your omega-6 to omega-3 ratio is 2:1, but in today's world of fast food, frozen entrees, and high calorie snacks, it is not uncommon for most people to actually be getting about 15 times more omega-6 than omega-3. Washington DC's center for Genetics, Nutrition and Health suggest that eating omega-6 and omega-3 in the wrong proportions may actually negate the health benefits.

The best sources of omega-6 are seeds, nuts and grains and green leafy vegetables, like lettuce, broccoli, purslane and kale, and in certain raw vegetable oils. Care should be taken to use raw cold pressed vegetable oils because cooking destroys the benefits of the fatty acids.


What is Omega-9 Fatty Acid?

Omega-9, or monounsaturated oleic and stearic acid, is a non-essential fatty acid produced naturally by the body whenever there is enough of either Omega 3 and 6 essential fatty acids.
However, if you do not have enough omega 3 and omega 6, then you must get omega 9 from your diet.
This fatty acid plays a role in promoting heart health by supporting healthy, balanced cholesterol levels and improving immune function.

Omega-3 fats are a crucial part of human cell membranes. They also have a number of other important functions, including:


·         Improving heart health
·         Supporting mental health
·         Reducing weight and waist size
·         Decreasing liver fat
·         Supporting infant brain development
·         Fighting inflammation
·         Preventing dementia
·         Promoting bone health
·         Preventing asthma

પટેલ સમાજનો ઈતિહાસ જાણો : કોણ અને ક્યાંથી આવ્યા હતા પાટીદારો

PATIDAR The  Patidar  are a  caste  found in the state of  Gujarat , India. They were formally recognized as a separate identity in the 1931 census of India, having previously been classified as  Kanbi . They are among the most studied of Indian castes and the process leading to their recognition is a paradigmatic example of the  invention of tradition  by social groups in India. પટેલ અથવા પાટીદાર અથવા કણબી એ ભારત દેશનાં પશ્ચિમ ભાગમાં આવેલા ગુજરાત રાજ્યની એક મુખ્ય જ્ઞાતિ છે. પટેલોમાં લેઉવા પટેલ અને કડવા પટેલ એમ બે પેટા જ્ઞાતિ છે. ઇતિહાસ તેઓ કુર્મઋષિનાં વંશજો હોવાનુ મનાય છે તેથી તેઓ શરૂઆતમાં કુર્મી તરીકે જ ઓળખાતા હતાં. ઇતિહાસકારોનાં મત અનુસાર પટેલો મધ્ય એશિયા માં આસુ નદી પાસે પામીર નામનાં ઉચ્ચ પ્રદેશમાં વસતા હતાં. ત્યાંથી એક સમુહે અફઘાનિસ્તાન માં થઈને હિન્દુકુશ પર્વતમાળા ઓળંગી ખૈબરઘાટનાં માર્ગે પંજાબ માં દાખલ થઈને વસવાટ કર્યો હતો તેમ કહેવાય છે. ભારત દેશમાં પંજાબના સપ્તસિંઘુ પ્રદેશ ‘લેયા’ પ્રદેશમાંથી આવેલા કૂર્મિ ક્ષત્રિયો લેઉઆ કહેવાય...

Java Event Delegation Model, Listener and Adapter Classes

Image
Java Event Delegation Model The Delegation Event model is one of the many techniques used to handle events in GUI (Graphical User Interface) programming languages. GUI represents a system where an user visually/graphically interacts with the system. Other interactive systems are text based or called CUI (Character User Interface). CUI interacts with the system by typing out commands in the console. GUI programming is inherently event driven; that means, whenever an user initiates an activity such as a mouse move that changes the co-ordinates of the mouse pointer in the screen, or clicks a button, scrolls a page, and so forth, each is deemed as an event that the GUI event handler maps the activity to a piece of code that explains what response the application should provide to the user. Any program that uses GUI (graphical user interface) such as Java application written for windows, is event driven. Event describes the change in state of any object.  For Example:  Pre...
