Omega-3 fatty acids are beneficial to humans in more ways than we know of
Sadiq Shaban
A
growing body of scientific research has come to the agreement that Omega-3 fatty acids help lower your cholesterol level, reduce high blood pressure, protect you from heart attacks, and ease joint pains, besides improving your memory. Experts opine that Omega-3 fatty acids are vital for normal metabolism but since they cannot be synthesised by the human body, there is a need to include the same in our diet. While flax seeds and walnuts are known to be excellent sources of Omega-3 fatty acids, salmon, sardines, cloves, grassfed beef, shrimp, cod, tuna, soy-
beans, tofu, kale, collard greens, and winter squash are also excellent sources. Omega-3 are polyunsaturated fatty acids that are categorised as eicosapentaenic acid (EPA), docosahexanoic acid (DHA) and alphalinolenic acid (ALA). Unlike the saturated fats in foods like butter, which can raise levels of unhealthy (LDL) cholesterol, polyunsaturated fats are healthy because they help lower cholesterol levels and reduce the body’s inflammation. Recent research has concluded that Omega-3 fatty acids have a beneficial effect in bipolar disorder. Omega-3 fatty acid present in fish oil is known to improve lipid profiles and oxidative stress in patients. Besides improving the car-

Dietary supplementation with Omega-3 fatty acids also cuts down the incidence of sudden cardiac death in patients with myocardial infarction. Our bodies require Omega-3 fatty acids for several normal functions, such as controlling blood clotting and building cell membranes in the brain. However, most people do not get enough of Omega-3. For good health, it is advisable to get at least one rich source of Omega-3

fatty acids in the diet on a daily basis. A serving of fish such as salmon, a tablespoon of canola or soybean oil in cooking, or a handful of walnuts or ground flaxseed, can achieve this. Pertinently Omega-3 fatty acids have proven effective in reducing the prevalence of several diseases like:
Depression: Omega-3 is known to boost the effects of antidepressants and is known to reduce the depressive symptoms of bipolar disorder.
Blood fat: Omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil supplements reduce elevated triglyceride levels.
Alzheimer’s disease and dementia: Some preliminary research has shown that Omega-3 in the food may help protect against Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. — sadiq@khaleejtimes.com

The introduction of Omega-3 in milk — that provides enhanced all round nourishment in a very convenient form — is expected to offer the health-seeking consumer a balanced daily dose of essential fats our bodies need. Al Rawabi Dairy Company, one of the UAE’s leading dairy product manufacturers has grown in leaps and bounds over the past decade. Today, the company is increasingly focused on health – a key concern considering the health challenges faced in the UAE and the region, with high obesity rates and rise in diabetes. It’s no surprise that demand for healthier options, or functional foods as the industry terms it, are growing rapidly, and Al Rawabi is constantly innovating to meet them. Nearly 70 per cent of all new Al Rawabi products in the pipeline are functional food products. The company recently invested over Dh10 million in new plant facilities at its farm on the outskirts of Dubai in Al Khawaneej that can now manufacture up to 250,000 litres of fresh milk, dairy products and juices every day. Al Rawabi Omega-3 Milk is the latest innovation from the company. Launched recently, Al Rawabi Omega-3 Milk has been flying off the shelves, a clear indicator that consumers were waiting for it.
Al Rawabi Omega-3 Milk has the same fresh, pure taste of Al Rawabi milk, because it’s enriched with Omega-3 from a plant source. So you can use it like regular milk with the added confidence that it comes to your table fresh from the Al Rawabi farm right here in the UAE
So, what’s so special about Al Rawabi’s latest offering? As the name indicates, Al Rawabi Omega-3 milk is enriched with Omega-3, which is a vital component for health and development in children and adults alike. Omega-3 fats include ALA, DHA and EPA — all essential fats that are necessary for our health, but the body can’t make them, which means we have to get them through food. Research has proved that DHA based Omega-3 provides significant health benefits, especially for children, as it supports the normal development of the brain, eyes
and nerves. In fact DHA is so essential in brain development that it’s mandatory for expecting mothers and newborns to have DHA, and that’s why it’s always included in nearly all-infant formulas. DHA helps lower the risk of heart attack and stroke, and acts as an anti-inflammatory agent that may reduce the stiffness and pain of joints afflicted with arthritis. Omega-3s also show promise
in protecting our vision and cognitive health as we age, besides helping to prevent some cancers and obesity. With Al Rawabi now adding DHA-based Omega-3 fats to its already healthful, wholesome fresh milk, the company has a winner on its hands and to put it in the words of the company’s General Manager Dr Ahmed El Tigani, “Omega-3 milk was a natural progression given its inherent benefits and the growing consumer demand for health products in the region as such. What we have done is simply made it easy for the consumer to get his daily intake of Omega-3.” Al Rawabi Omega-3 Milk has the same fresh, pure taste of Al Rawabi milk, because it’s enriched with Omega-3 from a plant source. So you can use it like regular milk with the added confidence that it comes to your table fresh from the Al Rawabi farm right here in the UAE. With every sip of Al Rawabi Omega-3 milk, your family comes closer to the recommended amount of DHA they should get each day.
