Macronutrients - FATS
Simple Lipids
-
Neutral fasts or esters of fatty acids with glycerol (mono, di, triglycerides
-
-
-
-
Saturated, unsaturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated
-
Fatty acids with double bond before the 9th carbon are ESSENTIAL - Linolenic acid (omega 3) and Linoleic acid (omega 6)
-
-
-
Important for immune response, vision, cell structure
-
-
-
-
-
In-significant amount of fat in fruit, veg and grains
Fats extracted from veg sources - corn, soybeans, olive) Found in liquid - not harmful unless hydrogenated
-
-
-
-
-
Omega 3 - Linolenic Acid - EPA (eicospentainoic acid) DHA (docosahexainoic acid) - anti-imflammatory prostaglandins and leukotrienes ALA (Alpha-linolenic acid)
Omega 6 - Linoleic acid - GLA (gamma linolenic acis) AA (arachidonic acid) pro-inflammatory prostaglandins and lukotrienes
-
Omega 3 - EPA and DHA - made in limited amounts - lower BP - prevent blood clot formation - Protects against irregular heartbeats - Reduce inflammation - normal infant growth and development - immune systen - inhibit cancers
Omega 6 - found in some veg oils, nuts and seeds - help promte heart health and brain function
