They\u2019re essential for many functions in your body \u2013 and as the name suggests, they\u2019re essential, meaning your body can\u2019t produce them on its own. You need to get them from your diet, or from supplements if necessary.<\/p><p>There are two key essential fatty acids:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA)<\/strong> \u2013 from the omega-3 family<\/li><li><strong>Linoleic acid<\/strong> \u2013 from the omega-6 family<\/li><\/ul><p>Then there are so-called <strong>conditionally essential fatty acids<\/strong>:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA)<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><p>Your body can technically convert ALA into EPA and DHA \u2013 but only in very small amounts. The conversion rate from ALA to EPA is around 8\u201312%, and for DHA it\u2019s often less than 1%. Stress, alcohol, poor diet, and even your general health can make this conversion even less efficient. That\u2019s why many experts recommend getting EPA and DHA directly \u2013 especially important if you eat plant-based, since you\u2019re skipping the main animal sources. Luckily, there\u2019s a vegan solution: algae oil. <br \/>[1,2]<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d8d65ee elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d8d65ee\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Why your body really needs omega-3?<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"vamtam-has-theme-widget-styles elementor-element elementor-element-b4e6d83 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b4e6d83\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Omega-3 is not just a wellness trend \u2013 it\u2019s a must for your health. These fatty acids play a role in so many vital processes:  <\/p><ul><li><strong>Cell structure:<\/strong> Omega-3s are key building blocks of your cell membranes. They keep your cells flexible and functioning properly \u2013 especially in your nervous system and your eyes. [3,4]   <\/li><li><strong>Gut health: <\/strong>Omega-3s support a healthy gut microbiome. They promote the diversity of good bacteria and help regulate inflammation \u2013 which is particularly helpful in conditions like Crohn\u2019s disease or leaky gut. [5]   <\/li><li><strong>Heart health: <\/strong>EPA and DHA can help lower high cholesterol, improve triglyceride levels, regulate blood pressure, and reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke. [6,7]  <\/li><li><strong>Brain &amp; mood: <\/strong>DHA is especially important for brain performance, concentration and emotional balance. Around 10\u201315% of the fat in your brain is DHA! A lack of omega-3 has been linked to mood disorders and cognitive decline. [8,9,10,11]   <\/li><li><strong>Eyes &amp; vision:<\/strong> DHA is a major component of the retina and is essential for normal vision. It also plays a key role in eye and brain development in babies and children.

In a vegan diet, that source is gone \u2013 and since ALA conversion is limited, it\u2019s easy to come up short. Studies show that vegans often have significantly lower blood levels of EPA and DHA than people who eat mixed diets. [16,17]    <\/p><p>On top of that, plant-based diets are often high in omega-6 (for example, from sunflower oil). Omega-6 competes with omega-3 in the body, so too much of it can block the benefits of omega-3.  <\/p><p>So if you\u2019re eating plant-based: make omega-3 a priority!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-835c6ea elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"835c6ea\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Omega-6: Why balance is everything?<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"vamtam-has-theme-widget-styles elementor-element elementor-element-a37bcfa elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a37bcfa\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Omega-6 fats are essential too \u2013 but in excess, they can have pro-inflammatory effects. Arachidonic acid, found in animal products, promotes the production of substances that increase inflammation and pain.  <\/p><p>When omega-6 is high and omega-3 is low, inflammation can spiral \u2013 raising the risk of chronic illnesses like arthritis or cardiovascular disease. <strong>Ideally, your omega-6 to omega-3 ratio should be about 4:1<\/strong>. In the Western diet, it\u2019s often more like 10:1 to 20:1 \u2013 far too skewed. Processed foods and ready meals are packed with hidden omega-6s \u2013 so best to avoid them when you can.  <\/p><p>With a plant-based diet, you\u2019re already avoiding arachidonic acid.
