- pure_simplicity 4y agoALA (short chain omega 3) is very important to get. It is converted to DHA/EPA, but the conversion efficiency depends on the ratio between your omega 6 and omega 3 intake. The same enzyme that converts ALA to DHA converts omega 6 to the inflamatory arachidonic acid. Since omega 6 is so abundant in most oil rich foods, you have to be mindful of how much you ingest relative to ALA omega 3, which is harder to come by. Hence the algea oil is important too, because it contians pre-formed DHA/EPA Just to give some bacground info.
- triyambakam 4y agoThanks for the further detail! I don't eat any processed foods. My diet is dals and pulses, fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds. Breakfast is e.g. masoor dal, lunch is apples, mangos and strawberries with ground flax, then lobhiya, and dinner greens or broccoli, fermented veggies, onion and chana.
