CHÍA
Chia oil
Polyunsaturated fatty acids (Omega 3) constitute a family of acids that are characterized by not being synthesized by our body. The lack of these acids produces deficiency effects that disappear if they are added to the diet; that is the reason why they are called essential. There are fatty acids of animal origin, such as fish oil and those of vegetable origin, among which the chia seed stands out. The chia seed is distinguished by its richness in polyunsaturated fatty acids, where 60% of these acids are constituted by the Omega 3 alpha-linolenic acid, which is the precursor of DHA and EPA.
Properties
Omega 3s are involved in the formation of cell membranes and play an important role in the transformation of energy. They are part of the makeup of our brain. During the last months of gestation and the first months of lactation, the brain must incorporate a large amount of Omega 3, especially DHA, in order to facilitate its maturation and neurological and visual development. A deficit of these fatty acids can cause alterations in learning, behavior and a decrease in visual acuity.Studies reveal that Omega 3 fatty acids help to normalize cholesterol and triglyceride levels and to maintain the flexibility of the veins and arteries.
