By external signs, you can determine that your body lacks the omega-3 complex right now.
Omega-3 deficiency
Even by external signs, you can determine what your body lacks. Omega-3 deficiency is a serious problem, because this complex of polyunsaturated fatty acids is responsible for the activity of the vital functions of the body: the functioning of the nervous and immune systems.
From omega-3, hormone-like substances are synthesized that affect the course of inflammatory processes in the body, blood clotting, and vascular tone. In addition, the important role of omega-3 in the process of intellectual development of the child has been proven.
Signs that you need to urgently change your diet:
-
Dryness and irritation of the skin, rash, acne. Omega-3 PUFAs support the health of cell membranes and help them retain moisture, protecting against inflammation and dehydration.
-
Dry eyes.
-
Forgetfulness, distraction, difficulty concentrating.
-
Insomnia and constant fatigue. Scientists from the University of Oxford have found that people with sufficient levels of omega-3 in the blood sleep better and feel alert during the day, while those who are deficient suffer from sleep problems.
-
Increased anxiety, depression. Research shows that many mental disorders are linked to a lack of omega-3s.
-
Decreased immunity. Omega-3s regulate the production of white blood cells, the blood cells that fight infections.
Do not forget that omega-3s must be ingested with food, since our body is not able to synthesize them on its own from simpler substances. In the diet of most people, there is a shortage of omega-3 (eating habits affect – the majority prefers meat over fish).
