Scientific research has found that when the intake of saturated fatty acids is below 65,438+00%, monounsaturated fatty acids are above 70%, and the ratio of ω-3 to ω-6 necessary for human body is 65,438+0: 4, the function of human body can be in an absolutely healthy state, that is, external diseases do not occur, and internal diseases do not occur.
At the same time, a balanced proportion of fatty acids can also reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes, obesity, arthritis, asthma and other diseases. Because the proportion of fat ingested from the main foods such as olive oil, deep-sea fish and a large number of fruits and vegetables in the Mediterranean diet mode just meets the above standards, the world medical and nutritional circles define the unique diet structure of the Mediterranean as omega diet.
Therefore, the most important requirement for Omega's health is to replace common vegetable oils (such as sunflower oil, safflower oil, corn oil and cottonseed oil) with olive oil and Corona oil, and eat fish three times a week. Another important change that Omega needs for health is to eat more fruits and vegetables, especially nuts (especially walnuts) and beans, so as to increase the omega-3 content in the diet.
"Omega"-the core and health value of Omega's health theory;
1993 In Washington, USA, the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) solemnly issued a statement in the document on promoting omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, suggesting that omega-3 essential fatty acids should be specially supplemented to change the general situation of insufficient human intake. This authoritative statement has set off a health care frenzy of omega -3 essential fatty acids around the world. America, Japan.
China residents generally lack omega-3 essential fatty acids in their diets, and their daily intake is far less than half of the recommended amount (one gram per day) of the World Health Organization. Although the research on omega-3 essential fatty acids in China started late, the relevant departments attached great importance to it and are actively preparing for large-scale promotion.
China has paid more and more attention to the study of ω-3 essential fatty acids. In April 2002, the International Symposium on Essential Fatty Acids and Human Nutrition and Health in 2002 was held in Shanghai, China. The conference brought together more than 60 internationally renowned nutrition scientists from 40 countries, including the World Health Organization, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, the International Union of Nutrition Sciences, the United States, Britain, Germany, Italy, Canada, Japan and India, as well as China. More than 65,438+000 scholars and experts from the medical field discussed and exchanged views on the health status of residents in various countries, the importance of omega-3 fatty acids in food and the relationship between essential fatty acids and various diseases.
Experts agree that omega-3 essential fatty acids, as an essential nutrient, play an important role in the prevention and treatment of various chronic diseases caused by nutritional imbalance caused by the change of human nutritional structure and the rapid rise of hyperlipidemia, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and diabetes. Experts in the fields of medicine and nutrition call for national legislation to supplement omega-3 essential fatty acids.
Seven principles make your omega diet plan. Omega diet is actually a simple diet plan. There is no need to deliberately fast anything, just change the main edible oil into edible oil rich in omega-3 essential fatty acids, and only this one can meet the basic requirements of omega diet.
Dr Artemis P Simopoulos, a world-renowned nutritionist, formulated the famous seven principles of omega diet according to the international research results on omega diet.
Dr Artemis Simopoulos served as the chairman of the American Nutrition Cooperation Committee for nine consecutive years, and co-chaired the Inter-departmental Human Nutrition Research Committee of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy for five years.
