From the womb to old age: strategies for effective and safe Omega 3 intake

The benefits of Omega-3s have been on everyone's lips for more than 50 years now. In fact, it was in the 1970s when Danish researchers Hans Olaf Bang and Jørn Dyerberg, intrigued by the low incidence of coronary artery problems (the arteries that carry blood to the heart) in the Eskimo peoples who inhabited Greenland, went there to get to the bottom of what the elixir was that protected their hearts; thus it was that they first emerged the benefits of a diet rich in these fats, abundant in the very foods that characterized the diets of these peoples

How to strengthen the immune system at the table?

Sometimes we feel the need to increase our body's natural protective mechanisms. But can we really do it? Let's find out how to boost the immune system at the table.

Obesity: to control appetite, best to choose Omega 3s

In Italy, 1 in 10 people are obese. More than half of men and a third of women are overweight. And overweight rates are estimated to increase by 5 percent in the next decade.

Fish oil: production and molecular distillation of Omega-3s

The process of extracting fish oil cannot be the same as the process of extracting oil from, say, olives, because the starting food matrix is obviously different.

Slimming down with intermittent fasting: pros and cons of the Fast Diet

They call it the "Fast Diet," and for those who know English it may mean that it is a diet for losing weight fast. But "fast" does not only mean "fast"; "fast" also means "fasting."

Flavonoids to increase Omega-3 in blood

According to the results obtained in this research, the effect on plasma levels of Omega-3 is observable both if the diet is enriched with these fatty acids and if a diet low in Omega-3 is followed.

Omega-3 action can be enhanced by dark green leafy vegetables

Taking Omega-3 while simultaneously eating a diet rich in dark green leafy vegetables increases the concentration of the essential fatty acids EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) in the membranes of red blood cells. 

Krill oil contains more effective Omega-3 EPA and DHA than fish oil.

In fact, the EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) of the tiny marine invertebrates that make up krill appear to have higher bioavailability than those in fish oil.

Obesity: omega-3 intake helps reduce energy intake

Supplementation with Omega-3 DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) may be helpful in limiting calorie intake, in obese or overweight women. This action is due to the ability of Omega-3 to reduce appetite.
