Omega-3 to supplement your Veganuary

If you’ve ever been on the fence to try veganism, now is your chance to take the plunge! A 31-day pledge to try a vegan lifestyle, Veganuary is a non-profit organization that invites people from around the world to try a plant-based diet in the month of January. The organization also provides pledgees with tips on nutrition, recipes, and even a celebrity e-cookbook. Over 1 million people have pledged to give Veganuary a go in the coming year.

Veganuary hopes to inspire people to stick with a plant-based diet beyond January. They dream of a vegan world, one that does not drive animal extinction and pollute the atmosphere, but instead protects the planet as well the health of its people.

Switching over to a new diet can be tricky

You need to make sure to intake all the right nutrients and supplements— such as Omega-3. Omega-3, essentially, contains fatty acids that our body cannot produce on its own but is associated with maintaining good health. According to a study, 90% of the world population’s diet lacks Omega-3. They are hard to come by in our food, and this is truer for plant-based diets. For this reason, Omega-3s have to be consumed as supplements.

What kinds of Omega-3s are important to us?

Omega-3s are a kind of fat the body cannot produce but still may have an essential role to play in its functioning. Primarily, there are three kinds of Omega-3 fatty acids that are important to us. These are alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Each of these fatty acids is not only vital to maintaining normal health but also brings about positive effects. 

 

Why we need Omega-3 in our diet!

There are multiple health benefits brought about by Omega-3 that are substantiated by scientific research.

The fatty acid content of Omega-3 may work to regulate and maintain normal levels of blood pressure. DHA is found in large amounts in our retinas and vital in maintaining eye health. Moreover, EPA and DHA have been proven to have positive effects on our bodily functions, some as crucial as the working of our heart and brain. DHA is an important building block of the brain and plays a role in the functioning of the brain. DHA together with EPA is considered to have a positive contribution to the normal functioning of the heart.

Omega-3 deficiency in our bodies can lead to hindrance in healthy eyesight development in children. A severe deficiency may also bring about dermatitis and other undesirable skin conditions such as dry skin and rashes.
