Why do humans have to ingest α-linolenic acid?
α-linolenic acid is the most basic and primitive substance in the evolution of life.
It is an essential fatty acid that sustains the evolution of the human body and maintains good health, and participates in the synthesis, metabolism, and transformation of phospholipids into the essential life active factors DHA (brain gold) and EPA (scavenger of blood vessels) in the body.
α-linolenic acid has a strong effect of increasing intelligence, protecting vision, lowering blood lipids and cholesterol, delaying aging, anti-allergy, inhibiting the occurrence and metastasis of cancer.
However, it cannot be synthesized in the human body and must be ingested from outside the body.
what happens if α-linolenic acid is deficient?
Once the human body lacks α-linolenic acid for a long time, it will lead to the decline of the function of brain organs and visual organs and senile dementia, and will cause the incidence of modern diseases such as hypertension, hypertension, and cancer to rise.
A large number of basic studies, epidemiological investigations, animal tests, human trials and clinical observations have shown that α-linolenic acid has a multifaceted physiological effect and is recognized by the international medical community and nutrition community.
The World Health Organization and the Food Organization of the United Nations solemnly issued a statement to the world in 1993, in view of the importance of α-linolenic acid and the general under-intake of human body, it is recommended to supplement α-linolenic acid.
The per capita daily intake of α-linolenic acid in China is less than half of the 1 gram recommended by the World Health Organization.
The legislation of many countries around the world stipulates that α-linolenic acid must be added to many types of food, otherwise it will not be sold.
α- Linolenic acid, how to ingest?
According to the recommendation of the reference intake of dietary nutrients (2013 edition) of Chinese residents, the daily need for adults is about 1.7g of α-linolenic acid (based on the α-linolenic acid AI of adults in China is 0.60% E, and the physical activity level of men over 18 years old (medium) needs to be calculated by 2600kcal/day). But the more "expensive" things are, they are often less common in life.
Foods rich in α-linolenic acid are very limited, and the foods we eat daily are very small in cereals, meat, eggs, milk, vegetables, fruits and other foods.
Walnut oil is a very important food source for us to obtain α-linolenic acid.
In addition, the content of linolenic acid in foods such as deep-sea fish and chia seeds is also relatively high. But it is easy to obtain, and it is suitable for adding a little to the daily diet is walnut oil.
Walnut oil is rich in linolenic acid, and the ratio of linolenic acid and linoleic acid is approximately 1:4, and the fatty acid composition is similar to that of breast milk and is easier to absorb.
There is also a kind of fat called saturated fat, which contains saturated fat in fat and butter. Young children can consume the right amount of saturated fat, but because excessive consumption of saturated fat may cause high cholesterol and increase the burden on the heart, (especially adults) should have a moderate intake. Bad fats include trans fats, which usually appear in deep-processed pastries and snacks, and everyone should pay attention to reading the ingredient list when buying food, and stay away from trans fats.
Yufu Nian's raw walnuts grow freely on the plateau of Yunnan at an altitude of 2000m. Nearly 4,000 hours of sunshine are exposed to the sun every year, and the delicate soil is rich in mineral elements. All this makes the raw walnuts of Yufu Nian have a high oil content, a crisp taste, a sweet back, and more precious natural nutrients.
Low temperature physical double pressing, micron physical filtration; in order to maximize the retention of nutrients, the nuts are not baked and processed, only physical pressing. In order to ensure the safety and health of the products, we ensure that the whole production line is in a low temperature control state, using the international leading low temperature physical double pressing process, to maximize the retention of nutrients in walnut oil. In the production process, multi-channel testing is adhered to to ensure the high quality of walnut oil produced.
100% pure walnut oil, zero additive, unsaturated fatty acid content of up to 90%; directly canned after low temperature physical double pressing, refusing to add other oil ingredients and any chemical ingredients, ensuring that each bottle of product is condensed with the essence of walnut nutrition and fragrant taste; it is an excellent high-grade nutritional oil to supplement linolenic acid.
