What are omega-3 fatty acids?

OMEGA-3 acids is a common name for a group of compounds belonging to essential unsaturated fatty acids (EFA).

Omega-3 fatty acids are…

ESSENTIAL - because, unlike saturated fatty acids, the body is unable to produce them on its own, and they are needed at many levels of its functioning. Therefore, they must be supplied in adequate amounts in the diet.

UNSATURATED - which means that in the molecules of these acids there is at least one double bond between carbon atoms in the carbon chain. The suffix '3' means that the last such double bond is at the third carbon atom from the end of the chain.

OMEGA-3 or OMEGA-6?

Providing both omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids is very important for the proper functioning of the body. However, it is important to maintain their proper ratio in the diet. The optimal ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 is 1:4.

In the diet of Western societies (European or American), this balance is significantly shifted towards excessive consumption of omega 6 acids. This is because the main part of the diet consists of products of animal origin, in which saturated fatty acids and omega-6 acids predominate. On the other hand, fish and seafood, as well as vegetable products (oils), which are a natural source of omega 3 fatty acids, are not eaten much.

The consequence of this eating style is the imbalance of omega-3 to omega-6, which is 1:15 or even 1:20. The effect of maintaining such a state for a longer time is the appearance of pro-inflammatory compounds in the body, resulting from excessive amounts of omega-6 fatty acids.

So the point is not to eliminate either one or the other fatty acids from the diet, but to eat in a balanced way, providing both omega-3 and omega-6 acids in a proportion as close to optimal as possible. Due to eating habits rooted in our culture, it is much more difficult to maintain an adequate supply of omega 3 acids than omega 6, which is why in many cases supplementation with omega-3 acids is recommended.
