PHOSPHOLIPIDS . . . Fat That’s Really Good For You!
Humans need fat to live. Fat is the most concentrated dietary source of energy. Fat helps to regulate our metabolism and feeds us important nutrients – not to mention that it insulates and protects our bodies.
There are many kinds of fat, and our bodies need these various types in different amounts in order to create equilibrium within our systems. Fats also provide our bodies with a very significant nutritional factor called: PHOSPHOLIPIDS
What are Phospholipids?
Phospholipids are probably the most important human membrane building blocks, especially Omega 3 Fatty Acids, The Fish Oil Factors. There are specific fatty acids inside phospholipids that often give the phospholipid various important, unique powers to perform its functions in the body. These include EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid) and DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid), naturally present in fish oil. These phospholipid nutrients nourish the brain with important nutrients that allow it to function healthfully and efficiently.
The most fundamental property of phospholipids is their unique capacity to simultaneously mix both with water and with oil. By bridging these two dissimilar physical environments, phospholipids are able to spontaneously assemble into the most basic life-giving structures: membranes. Their self-assembly makes the phospholipids prime biochemical building blocks for all the known life forms.
How Do We Get Phospholipids?
Most every phospholipid that is important to the human body can be consumed in fish and fish oil. The liver also produces the phospholipids known as Phosphatidyl Choline (PC) and Lecithin. The healthy liver is able to generate energy from fat and cholesterol because of the phospholipids it produces naturally. Foods such as fish (cod, tuna, salmon, sardines), red meat, animal organ meats and eggs provide Phosphatidyl Choline. Wheat, soya beans, peanut, liver, oats, rice, trout, red meat, eggs and butter provide natural Lecithin.
There are also valuable supplemental forms of phospholipids that provide easier consumption without dietary alterations. Supplements are made from fish oils, soy extracts, containing high-potency concentrations of phospholipids; available in easy-to-take softgel capsules for convenient daily consumption.
Phospholipids perform many essential functions: They are capable of slowing the progression of diseases, aid in the conversion of fats into energy, carry out tasks that weaker membranes would not survive. Some studies show development of dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease, is associated with decreased levels of phosphatidyl DHA in the diet.
Phosphatidyl Choline (PC) is the most important phospholipid due to its role in converting fat and cholesterol into usable energy. Lecithin is important to our health, as it is the phospholipid needed to create acetylcholine (a neurotransmitter crucial for brain functioning) and the phospholipid that increases excretion of neutral steroid molecules which reduces cholesterol absorption in the intestines.
