BUT WHAT IS OMEGA 3 & HOW DOES IT HELP?
Omega 3 fatty acids are a type of fat that the body is unable to produce on its own, but they are essential for its proper functioning. So, we require it through our diet. It is mostly found in nuts, oils and oilseeds, seaweed, oily fish like salmon and shellfish like crabs.
Fats allow you to stay fuller for longer periods of time because they digest more slowly than other foods and do not cause sugar levels to blow up. Apart from this, omega 3 fatty acids also help to-
• Unclog the arteries
• Improve levels of HDL ‘good’ cholesterol
• Prevent formation of internal blood clots
• Lower high blood pressure
WALNUT IS THE KING OF OMEGA 3
3 walnuts contain 2500 mg of Omega 3 fatty acids. Alternatively, if we talk about an omega-3 supplement, it has just 1000 mg of omega-3 per capsule. Apart from that, walnuts have several other benefits. Some of them are:
1. Rich in anti-oxidants
2. It decreases inflammation
3. It promotes gut-health
4. Reduces the risk of cancer
5. Helps managing diabetes
6. Improves brain function
The Institute of Medicine recommends that both men and women consume 1.6 grams of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) each day. A serving of walnuts meets that guideline.
FUN FACT: Apart from all these benefits, some studies have suggested that Walnut helps you to beat ageing. It is shown that people who consume Walnut on daily basis can reduce the risk of physical impairment.
SIDE EFFECTS OF OMEGA 3 FATTY ACID SUPPLEMENTS 😲
1) Abdominal pain, nausea, fishy aftertaste, nose-bleeding, diarrhea, heartburn.
2) Fish oil supplements may negatively interact with BP-lowering medicines.
3) Vitamin A toxicity
BOTTOMLINE
It's one of the biggest myths is that consuming Walnut can lead to weight gain but in reality, Walnut can help you shed kilos, and also be a good source of nutrition. Have 2-3 walnuts on a daily basis in the evening or you can even start your day with them. 🤎
