Omega 9 to the role of diet heart healthy

Development trends in the food world are focused on four main areas of food is food that is able to create a positive difference for human life at this time and in the future, namely:

1. Food that is able to improve cardiovascular health

2. Food that generate power mechanism natural resilience of the body

3. Food that can improve women's health, fitness and beauty

4. Food that can improve the nutritional status of children.

Development of food with a high rate of Omega 9 can be seen to meet the first two categories. For recalls, please see the following.

Healthy lifestyles.

Healthy lifestyles are "megatrend" in the community that has high economic and social life of a high. Healthy lifestyles many variations, but in general, several factors include the following: the adequacy of sports, living a positive opinion, to consume healthy foods and regular with balanced nutrition, adequate rest and able to maintain an ideal weight.

In this author's only limit themselves to the types of food products and healthy food regularly and with balanced nutrition, of course, closely related to the Omega-9.

Eat (diet) healthy is closely related to the heart healthy diet. This is perhaps due to heart problems and issues of CVD (Cardio Vascular Disease), is a cause of death number 2 in Indonesia, and this may also apply in many other developing countries and in developed countries.
Many heart disease connections with the food we consume. The factors that influence is, the high rate of cholesterol in the blood, especially LDL (low density lipoprotein) cholesterol type of evil, as a cause of the occurrence of blood vessel constriction, and HDL (high density lipoprotein), which called cholesterols good, because the large role in improving immune power (of immunity) body. Ideally when people have a low rate of LDL, HDL high content of it. From the components of HDL, the largest and most important is the Apo-lipoprotein A-1, a body protective factors that is important role.

In addition, it is recommended to reduce the rate of fat, such as Triglyceride and LP (a) lipoprotein, and it is recommended to consume a type of food that is able to control high blood pressure, such as Sodium salt.

Cholesterol that the body was found in three quarters not comes from food, but it originated and produced by the liver organs. The productions of cholesterol in the liver are effect from the consumption of high saturated fat. Fat saturated fat is considered evil, wherever that may be avoided. Saturated fat contained in many fat (fat livestock / animal) and coconut oil.

Each oil (liquid) and fat (solid) is always a mixture of three types of fatty acid, namely; not saturated fatty acid, which consists of saturated fatty acid is not a single (mono-unsaturated fatty acid), saturated fatty acid not double (poy-unsaturated fatty acid) and saturated fatty acid (saturated fatty acid). Only usually in a food product, one type of fatty acid that occupy a dominant place. Of the three types of fatty acid, the fatty acid was not saturated (mono-unsaturated and Poly-unsaturated) positive role in maintaining heart health. Acids are saturated fat and trans-fatty acid (fat processing results, Baking and fast foods) should be avoided.

NO OIL saturated OMEGA

Omega Oil is the oil that has a high rate of fatty acid Omega (Omega means the end). So fatty acid Omega-3 means that the union has not saturated the dual listed on the C atom and the third from fourth last calculated its methyl group, said of the Omega-6 and Omega-9.

How not saturated fatty acid should must be consumed in a precise and ideal, is very dependent on the condition, location and nutrition status of a person. But many experts think that to get a good health condition is recommended to consume relatively high rate of mono-unsaturated and Poly-unsaturated equivalent to 32% of the total consumption of calories, with saturated fat can not be more than 8% of total calorie consumption. Are other experts said that ideally the prime body, recommended to consume 20% of the total fat consumption and energy from the amount recommended only 4% derived from saturated fat.

Three no saturated fatty acid that is important to Omega-3, Omega-6 and Omega-9. Oil meals often contain all three in the composition varies. Especially from the third fatty acid is not saturated, not two saturated fatty acid Omega-3 and Omega-9 is essential for life.

WHAT bands played formidable sets OMEGA-9 (ASAM OLEAT)?

Omega-9, many found in olive oil (olive oil). From the results of the research reported end, the research results, especially since 1992, and even more in 1988, 1999 and 2000, concluded that the Omega-9 has a power protection body which is able to lower LDL, increase HDL is greater than Omega-3 and Omega-6. But reports that new research results also suggest that the Omega-6 has a negative aspect associated with the increase because the compound, which eicosanoids stimulate the growth of tumors in experimental animals.

Disgusting, is that Omega-3 and Omega-9 had the potential to block the product compound, which eicosanoids is dangerous. People who live in the area Mediterranean, rarely found cases of CVD. This may be because of the high consumption of Omega-9 and Omega-3. Are in the United States-European consumption of fat has a ratio of 10: 1 (Omega-6: Omega: 3), which is now considered unhealthy.

The composition of fatty acid Omega-9 in some oil products are as follows:

avocado oil 50%
macadamia oil 45%
olive oil 28%
seed apricot 35%
seed almond 33%
Bimoli 41.6%

When compared to Poly-unsaturated fat (PUFA), mono-unsaturated fat (MUFA) better role in the PUFA because although useful for lowering LDL cholesterol, but lower HDL have a weakness. Meanwhile, MUFA able to lower LDL but also to increase HDL, a fact that we want.
