What are Omega 3 & Omega 6?
Omega 3: There are two different types of Omega 3 – one is an essential fatty acid and is found in vegetable oils like canola oil and linseed oil. The other is found in oily fish like mackerel and herrings. The two types of Omega 3 work in different ways to aid your heart health. It’s good to eat oily fish twice a week as part of a healthy balanced diet, but Flora spreads can provide Omega 3 fatty acids from vegetable sources on a daily basis. Omega 6: this second essential fatty acid is found in seed oils such as sunflower oil and products made with these oils, such as Flora spreads. Both Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids have important roles in helping to maintain heart health. Omega 6 fats play an important role in maintaining our blood cholesterol levels, while Omega 3 fats have been shown to help keep our hearts healthy.
