Reposted from @dr.vegan (@get_regrann) - Omega-3 fatty acids are important fats that provide many health benefits.
Studies have found that they may reduce inflammation, decrease blood triglycerides and even reduce the risk of dementia.
Of the three main types of omega-3 fatty acids, plant foods typically only contain alpha-linolenic acid (ALA).
ALA is not as active in the body and must be converted to two other forms of omega-3 fatty acids — eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) — to bestow the same health benefits.
Unfortunately, your body’s ability to convert ALA is limited. Only about 5% of ALA is converted to EPA, while less than 0.5% is converted to DHA.
Thus, if you don’t supplement with algae oil (high in EPA and DHA) it’s important to eat a good amount of ALA-rich foods to meet your omega-3 needs.
Additionally, keep in mind your omega-6 to omega-3 ratio, as a diet low in omega-3s but high in omega-6s can increase inflammation and your risk of disease.

Reposted from @animalagricultureclimatechange (@get_regrann) - If you are eating animals, you are contributing to human starvation, water pollution, the destruction of the rainforest, ocean dead zones, species extinction and global warming. If you are worried about the climate crisis, then it’s time to go plant-based.
