80% of Indians are omega 3 Deficients
Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for heart health, brain function, and reducing inflammation. In India, a significant portion of the population is deficient in these nutrients, primarily due to dietary patterns that are low in Omega-3-rich foods.
Studies on Omega-3 Deficiency in India:
-
A study published in the Journal of Food Science and Technology highlighted that the typical Indian diet is rich in Omega-6 fatty acids but lacks sufficient Omega-3s, leading to an imbalance that may contribute to various health issues.
-
Research in the International Journal of Research in Medical Sciences noted that many countries, including India, face deficiencies in essential fatty acids, particularly Omega-3, increasing the global risk for chronic diseases.
What is Omega 3
What is Omega 3 Ratio
Omega-3 Fatty Acids are essential polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) crucial for cellular function, inflammation regulation, and cardiovascular and neurodevelopmental health. The primary omega-3s include α-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Since the human body cannot synthesize them de novo, they must be obtained from dietary sources such as fish, flaxseeds, and algae.
Omega Ratio (Ω-6:Ω-3): This refers to the balance between omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids, which influences inflammatory responses and metabolic processes. The ideal ratio is estimated to be 1:1 to 4:1, but modern diets often exhibit a skewed ratio of 15:1 to 20:1, favoring omega-6 (found in vegetable oils and processed foods), which is associated with pro-inflammatory states and chronic diseases. Optimal regulation of this ratio is critical for maintaining homeostasis, reducing chronic inflammation, and preventing metabolic disorders.
