Omega 3
They are essential because they have to be taken in through diet, in order to have their many medicinal effects. Both flax and hemp seed/oils are the highest vegetable sources of omega 3, Alpha linolenic acid (ALA), considered a short chain fatty acid.
Fish and fish oils contain EPA and DHA omega, long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. In the human body, under optimal conditions, we can convert a certain amount of ALA to DHA and EPA. However, it is not always the case that we have excess ALA to convert, and it has been shown that our conversion process is very inefficient, converting anywhere from only 5% - 20% of what is needed. Women are said to be slightly more efficient at this conversion process than men.
For vegans, especially, this can make it virtually impossible to get adequate amounts of DHA and EPA. Fish and fish oils are by far the most most easy to find and highest source of these essential fats. That being said, recently, some supplement companies have released an algae based DHA source. Research is also looking into sachi inchi, a plant native to the Amazon rainforest, high in omega 3 fatty acids.
The health benefits of Omega 3 fatty acids,EPA and DHA in particular, have been widely studied and are both numerous and widespread in terms of health promoting actions. In terms of heart health, omega 3 fatty acids have been shown to lower cholesterol, triglycerides and high blood pressure. There has also been significant research dedicated to omega 3 oils, DHA and EPA in particular, and its ability to protect against obesity. It has been shown to help reduce body fat, supporting a healthier BMI and hip to waist circumference ratio. All of these benefits serve to make it useful in terms of treating and preventing heart disease and metabolic syndrome. Omega 3 fatty acids have also been shown to have an affinity for the central nervous system, helping to treat and prevent cognitive decline, protect memory, treat depression, bipolar disorder, attention deficit disorders and schizophrenia. They are also an effective treatment for a variety of autoimmune conditions, including SLE, IBD and rheumatoid arthritis. Studies have also backed its use in Osteoporosis, Asthma, psoriasis, eczema, and other dermatological disorders, macular degeneration, PMS and cancers, including colon and prostate. Omega 3 fatty acids, DHA in particular, has been associated with the development of the brain, eyes, and immune system of a growing fetus, as well as decreased risk of low birth weight infants. Supplementation is highly recommended for both maternal and fetal health during pregnancy.
Fiber
Every time we turn around something reminds us about the importance of fiber. Advertising touts products new and improved when they are considered high fiber or have added whole grain. So what's all the fuss about? The standard North American diet is largely deficient in fiber because of the refining process. It strips the fibrous coat off of grains and removes the skins of fruits and vegetables.
Thus the food becomes easier to process but deficient in fiber and nutrients. Colon cancer, diabetes and high cholesterol are just a few of the conditions that afflict millions of people and can be helped by proper fiber intake. There are several different types of fiber each with their own health benefits.
Bran, gums and mucilages are fibers that regulate blood sugar and lower cholesterol. They also bind to toxins and waste products in the intestines, ensuring that these harmful agents pass through the digestive tract without being reabsorbed by the body. By eating oatmeal, oat bran, sesame seeds and dried beans you take in substantial amounts of these fibers. Some medicinal types of this fiber are glucomannan and psyllium seed. Glucomannan binds to fat in the intestines, normalizes blood sugar and decreases appetite (by expanding in the stomach). It benefits those who are obese, diabetic or hypoglycemic. Psyllium seed is an intestinal cleanser and stool softener. It is the major component of the commercial preparation called Metamucil. But Metamucil contains colourings and flavourings that are not found in psyllium preparations.
