Omega-3 And Omega-6 Fatty Acids And Maintaining Healthy Arteries

Important issues regarding the process of maintaining healthy arteries in the human body follow.

The ability to create more cells, or inflaming tissue when needed, and the process of blood clotting are vital for life. The issue is the proper balance between omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids and other nutrients that help maintain healthy arteries.

Disruption of the growth of cells and the hindering of the process of cell renewal, all increase the risk of bleeding and compromise the immune system. Even little of the latter could increase the risk of cancer, thrombi and inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.

The omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids are synthesized in a very complex manner, and are they are intended to be put to use in specialized structures: neurons, retinal cells, cell membranes. They also help to perform regulatory functions of hormones (omega-6).

This requires some catalysts (C and vitamin B6, magnesium, zinc, calcium, etc.) that must be present in the diet. They also help to block certain, chemicals and hormones of stress. It is therefore important to supplement the diet and pay attention to the overall quality of the foods you eat:

• Not consuming enough fatty acids of the type other than (omega-3 and omega-6) can prevent the proper building of the arterial walls.

• Lots of something very good can’t be that good. One should not eat too many vitamins or supplements, since this can overload the system.

• These fatty acid oils are very sensitive, so try not to eat too much of them.

• Foods of animal origin, whether any amount is higher or lower depends, on the condition of each and therefore personal tolerance. It is a matter of personal choice. The problem of foods of animal origin is that is it dramatically increases our appetite.
  

• The quality of fat in today’s foods have changed substantially. Previously, the animals were fed on grass and other types of plants, and certain plants have some omega-3 in it.

• As always, the key is the balance of proportions between foods that help the arteries, and foods that help maintain other structures of the body.

In conclusion, we emphasize that each type of nutrient we come across, even fatty acids an other supplements that help the digestive process, affects a "myriad" of factors. The body's tendency to have blocked arteries may have several causes, one of which may be an excessive and inappropriate diet which clogs the system and exceeds the capacity of the organs of elimination.

Homeopathy, for example, builds all its therapeutic application of remedies used against the impregnation of the tissues with toxic waste that can come from food, such as pollution, and drug abuse.

It is worth mentioning here that the arterial effect of certain foods and spices seem to be selective to different individuals: paprika, pepper, white pepper, red vinegar, eggplant, peanuts, and tomato concentrate.
