Eicosapentaenoic Acid, Protection against cardiovascular disease

Eicosapentaenoic acid is one of 3 forms of Omega-3 fatty acids. The other two forms include alpha linolenic acid (LNA) and docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA). Most people get their primary source of Omega 3 fatty acids in the form of LNA found in food sources such as canola, soy oils, flaxseed, walnuts and a few fruits and vegetables. Only 10% of the total dietary Omega 3 fatty acid is consumed as eicosapentaenoic acid and DHA.

A typical American only consumes a fifth of what is considered the necessary amount of eicosapentaenoic acid for maintenance and good health. Eicosapentaenoic acid is a type of Omega 3 fatty acid found primarily in fish and fish oils. Long chained Omega 3 fatty acids such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) and alpha linolenic acid (LNA) are associated with decreasing triglycerides and decrease the risk of developing coronary heart disease.

Extensive studies indicate an increased consumption of foods containing the Omega-3 fatty acids (DHA, EPA) offer protection against cardiovascular disease and myocardial infractions. A more recent study reported diets supplemented with 900 mg of EPA/DHA could reduce the risk of sudden cardiac arrest by nearly 45% in patients with serious myocardial infarctions.

Without sufficient Lipids and EFAs our health would quickly fail us. Lacking them in our diet, we unwittingly open the door to a number of health complications, including cardiovascular disease, cancer, neurological problems (MS, ADHD, MD, etc.), extensive and unrelenting weight problems, diabetes and insulin mismanagement of carbohydrates and proteins, slower immune response-times, increased sickness and disease, and alarming premature, accelerated aging within every biological system in our body. The bottom line is that without essential Lipids and EFAs, we will look and feel 20 years older than we should!
