The health benefits of Omega 7 fatty acids

The health benefits of Omega 7 fatty acids 

Omega 7 fatty acids are unsaturated fats which are found in sea buckthorn oil, macadamia nuts, some dairy products and avocados. There are not essential nutrients because the body can make this on its own, however they do have some fantastic health benefits when consumed. 

There are 8 different types of omega 7 found in different founds, however the most common are palmitoleic acid and vaccenic acid. These are widely used is cosmetics and makeup products because they are highly moisturising for the skin. Today we will explore the health benefits of  consuming Omega 7 fatty acids from healthy foods. 

1. Diabetes Omega-7 has been shown in scientific studies to help heal beta  cells in the pancreas. This helps diabetics to keep their blood sugars under control in a completely natural way. We recommend taking sea buckthorn oil daily if you  are diabetic as a supplement. 

2. Blood Pressure Studies also show   that consuming omega 7 in the diet can protect against swelling in the blood vessels. This helps to manage blood pressure levels and reduce the risk of plaque forming in the arteries. 

3. Immune System  Palmitoleic and other omega 7 fatty acids also help to strengthen the immune system. This also decreases inflammation in the body to protect it from harmful diseases and infections. Macadamia nuts are great for this purpose as they are rich in omega 7. 

4. Satiety You can take omega 7 in the form of a supplement if you wish, and has been shown to help you feel full after meals. Omega 7 helps to boost fat burning in the body, which helps you  to feel satisfied and boosts your energy levels. You feel more energised because your cells are able to accept more fuel and nutrients. 

5. Fights Aging Our bodies often get exposed to environmental toxins, pollutants and harmful chemicals. When these become oxidised they speed up the aging process, making your skin look older and cause a loss in collagen. Omega 7 helps to   encourage the development of new skin cells, which helps to fight against oxidative damage. It also increases elastin and collagen, two proteins which  keep the skin looking young, strong and healthy. 

6. Colitis Omega 7 fatty acids also help to reduce inflammation in the digestive system from those with ulcerative colitis and inflammatory bowel   disease. Omega 7-s have a lubricating effect on internal skin which protects it from damage.

7. Dry Eyes If you suffer with dry eye syndrome, we highly recommend taking a supplement of omega 7 fatty acids, along with retinol. Dairy  products like cheese and yoghurt supply both retinol and omega 7, which help to lubricate the eyes by supporting the mucous membranes. 

8. Liver Health Consuming too much   sugar or alcohol can cause swelling in the internal organs, leading to fatty liver disease. Research shows that omega 7 can help keep this inflammation at bay   by supressing cytokines. This helps your liver to stay healthy and flush out toxins.
