Omega-3 fatty acids are a must in our daily diet, as the human body cannot synthesize it. The human body is crippled in evolution; we are deprived of the genes that are needed to synthesize these vital molecules. Except for regular fish eaters, the majority of the human population does not get adequate omega-3 fatty acid in their food. Fatty acids provide a structural framework for cells, tissues, and organs, as well as the building blocks for several bioactive ingredients, and they provide a wide range of benefits from general improvements in health to protection against inflammation and disease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eOmega-3 Fatty Acids\u003c\/em\u003e discusses various sources of omega-3 fatty acid, health implications of omega-3 fatty acid intake, and remedial measures that can improve diet for those lacking in fatty acids. The book opens with a discussion of various sources of omega-3 fatty acids, such as flaxseed, milk, eggs, and marine algae. Following this, is a detailed discussion of the effect omega-3 intake has on different conditions, like pregnancy, psoriasis, aging disorders, cardiovascular events, obesity, and non-communicable diseases, such as diabetes and Alzheimer’s. This much-expanded edition includes new chapters on topics such as the linoleic-to-linolenic dietary intake ratio, the role of omega-3 fatty acids in eye health, the effects of omega-3 fatty acids on metabolic syndrome and fatty liver disease, and the influence of omega-3 fatty acids on bone turnover and energy metabolism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn indispensable text designed for nutritionists, dietitians, clinicians and health-related professionals, \u003cem\u003eOmega-3 Fatty Acids\u003c\/em\u003e presents a comprehensive assessment of the current knowledge about the nutritional effects of omega-3 fatty acids and their delivery in foods.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2025-05-20\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783031841996\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-031-84200-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 279cm x210cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 456\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45385875619980,"sku":"9783031841996","price":251.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783031841996.jpg?v=1776874202","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783031841996","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
