There are fats and fat! And if trans fats are bad for health, essential fatty acids like omega 3 are real gold mines. They also facilitate the burning of fat and protect your heart … and your figure!
While omega 3 fats and are as such as calories than any trans fatty acid which is known to be quite deleterious to health. But these are good fats, polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), essential constituents of membranes (cells) and instruments for cell communication. These are omega 3 essential fatty acids in the body can not synthesize and must be found in food.
Fat that are slimming?
Fat is, rightly, considered difficult to mobilize and burn: it tends to be stored in the adipocytes, the fat cells almost eternal that - worse - the memory of stored fat in good times. But the Omega 3 are an excellent fuel, easily available.
In short, exchanging saturated fat, physiologically “frozen” by Omega 3, “flexible”, it facilitates the burning of fats, especially those that wrap the viscera (visceral fat, as opposed to the fat that is on the belly). The cardiovascular risk is significantly reduced, and the waist …
Of mice and women
This effect “boost” the destruction of fat has been demonstrated in obese mice. These were subject to a compound 30% fat which was actually half of fish oil rich in omega 3. At 5 months of decline, the specific metabolism of the degradation of fat had been sought with more oil poisson1.
The benefit of omega 3 is confirmed in humans by a team française2. Women who suffer from type 2 diabetes and were receiving supplementation (one capsule of fish oil dose of 1.8 g of omega 3) have given their lower body fat and triglyceride levels. Meanwhile, their good cholesterol (HDL) cholesterol increased. In two months of the moderate regime, there was a decrease in their adiposity (excess fat) and markers of risk of atherosclerosis (formation of fatty plaques inside the blood vessels which may in extreme cases stop the blood flow and lead to heart attack or stroke).
Overweight, a cardiovascular risk factor among others
All these effects contribute to reduce the overall risk of cardiovascular disease, results welcome when we know that risk factors do not add but multiply.
If the omega 3 have already demonstrated their effectiveness in preventing cardiovascular accident, through their effects on weight, but still HDL, blood pressure or inflammation, they succeed in post-infarction to reduce nearly 30% overall mortality and cardiac and halve the risk of recurrent non-fatal infarction
