Women On Vegan Diets Have Plenty Omega-3

I was excited to read in the recent Physicians Committee For Responsible Medicine magazine, Good Medicine, that women on vegan diets have plenty of Omega-3 “good fats” in their blood. I am frequently questioned at Slender For Life™ by prospective hypnosis for weight loss clients about the need Omega-3 so you can imagine my delight with another study that shows that eating a vegan diet is healthy. Slender For Life™ weight loss hypnosis clients don’t have to be rigid vegans to lose weight. While I totally support the decision to eat plant-based meals, many clients eat fish, poultry or animal proteins at tribal feast when family and friends gather for special occasions such as Thanksgiving.

Women On Vegan Diets Have High Omega-3 Levels

Women following vegan diets have significantly more omega-3 “good fats” in their blood, compared with fish-eaters, meat-eaters, and ovo-lacto vegetarians, according to a new report from the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) Study. Levels in vegan men were not quite as high as in vegan women. Despite zero intake of long-chain omega-3s eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and substantially lower intake of their plant-derived precursor alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), vegan participants converted robust amounts of shorter-chain fatty acids into these long-chain fatty acids.
