Since their discovery in the 1970s, omega-3 fatty acids have been firmly under the scientific spotlight: the subject of discussion. speculation and multiple studies of their potential health benefits.
A type of polyunsaturated fat found in fish, seafood and several types of plants and plant oils, omega-3 fats have been hailed as a wonder oil for preventing and treating myriad life-threatening conditions. These include everything from heart disease and stroke, to a host of psychological disorders, including bipolar and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
But one area that hasn't received much attention is the role of omega-3 fats in weight loss.
The idea that fatty acids may contribute to weight loss isn't new. Dr Udo Erasmus, an internationally recognised authority on the role of fats and oils in human health, has been an advocate of their benefits in weight management for years.
He says essential fats help to keep us slim. "They act like hormones that increase fat-burning and decrease fat production in the body," he says. "They shift the body from carbohydrate-burning mode to fat-burning mode. But only the essential fats, especially the 'missing' omega-3s, accomplish these functions."
