OMG Omega

Omega-3s are unequivocally lauded as one of nutrition's noblest players. According to accredited practising dietitian and author of The Total Life Diet Shamala Ratnesar, omega3s reside within the membrane of every cell, where they influence the way molecules, enzymes and hormones interact and pass in and out of cells. Skin, hair and nails are all affected by how much – or little – you’re getting. To obtain the commonly praised EPA and DHA, you need to consume foods containing precursor ALA, from which the body manufactures EPA and DHA. ALA is essential, meaning the body can’t make it from scratch. Seafood and omega-3-enriched foods such as omega-3 eggs are good sources (see table). The other consideration is that even if you are consuming ALA, only around five per cent of will be converted to EPA and DHA. We need to maintain both.
