What are two fatty acids the body cannot make?

The body cannot make omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. These are essential fatty acids that must be obtained from the diet as our body cannot synthesize them. Omega-3 fatty acids are found in fish, flaxseeds, and walnuts, while omega-6 fatty acids are found in seeds, nuts, and vegetable oils.

How does Trans Fatty Acid influence Heart Disease?

Yes, and is actually worse than the sys form of fatty acids. The only difference between sys and trans fatty acids are the angles of the molecules. In nature, only sys fatty acids are made, but through chemistry (or through over heating oils), we are able to make trans fatty acids. The problem is that your body can only recognize the sys form. So if you have sys fatty acids in your body, your body knows how to remove them, but if you have trans fatty acids in your body, your body doesn't know how to remove them. As a result the trans fatty acids build up in your system and can cause heart disease. Sys fatty acids can cause heart disease also, but since your body is constantly removing them, it forms slower than the trans form.


What is omega three?

"omega-3" (also written ω-3) is the name of a family of fatty acids. Fats and oils in human diet are compounds of fatty acids, and the omega-3 fatty acids form one group. We humans cannot make them in the body, but if there are some in our diet we can make others from them. Several health benefits have been claimed for fats containing omega-3 fatty acids. In particular, there is good evidence that they reduce heart attack risk factors.

What does the three fatty acids make?

Three fatty acids can combine with a molecule of glycerol through dehydration synthesis to form a triglyceride, which is a type of lipid. Triglycerides are a major component of stored fat in the body and serve as a source of energy.


What is Omega 3?

Omega-3 are fats ,fatty acids, that can't be synthesized by the human, but are essential for the normal development of the body. You don't need omega-3 supplements if you don't have omega-3 deficiency. Marine animals are common sources of this fat, for example: fish, alga, squid and some plants as echium. Omega-3 fatty acids are considered essential fatty acids: They are necessary for human health but the body can' t make them.
