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!
