Balancing Omegas Workshop 3

What are omega 6’s and 3’s There are two major classes of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) -- the omega-3 and the omega-6 fatty acids -- distinguished by their chemical structure. Regulate fundamental physiological processes such as cell division and growth, blood clotting, muscle activity, secretion of digestive juices and hormones, and movement of substances like calcium into and out of cells.

Role of Essential Fatty Acids in Nutrigenomics Omega-6:Omega-3 Ratios

Natural Sources of Omega 3 Good sources of EPA and DHA are fish (both finfish and shellfish and their oils and eggs) and organ meats. Broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts Spinach, kidney beans

Why Avoid Excess Omega 6? Heart Attacks Stroke Thrombosis Arrhythmia Arthritis Asthma Menstrual Cramps Headaches

Omega-6 (Plant Oil)

Foods that are not easily balanced by TSFO (Triple Strength Fish Oil) –Vegetable, Nut, and Seed Oils –Chicken –Turkey –Farm Raised Fish –Chips

Omega-6 (Plant Oil) Foods that are not easily balanced by TSFO (Triple Strength Fish Oil) –Avocado –Hummus (Chickpeas and Tahini) –Flax –Soy –Nuts –Seeds

Omega-6 (Plant Oil) Grains considered safe for gluten but problematic for plant oil: –Quinoa –Millet –Soy –Corn seeds and nuts –Amaranth

Triple Strength Fish Oil Used to help decrease monocyte count or RBC Distribution Used to restore omega 3’s **Not all fish oil is created equal**

Purchasing Considerations-TSFO Total mg/capsule Total Omega 3’s

Not as effective fish oil Total mg/capsule Total Omega 3’s

Not as effective fish oil Total mg/capsule Total Omega 3’s

Labs that may indicate omega 3 and 6 imbalance Monocyte count –0-7% normal range –If higher than 6%, indication of too much plant oil RBC Distrubution – normal range –If higher than normal, indication of too much plant oil

KIM-2 Developed by NIH Uses research information from USDA Nutrient Database FREE

KIM-2 Tool to calculate Omega-6’s and Omega- 3’s in food Tool frequently used in NutriGenomics Program Does Not recognize GLUTEN or LATEX as a problem
