Meet The “Beauty Omegas”!!!
The Fatty Acids That Stimulate Collagen Production, Among Other Benefits💗
Why are omega-7s so good for you, and where you can find them?
We thought we knew everything about omegas, those “good” fats that are key to health. There is the anti-inflammatory omega-3 that supports the heart, brain, and metabolism, omega-6 which provides the body with energy, and omega-9 which reduces bad cholesterol.
Recently, however, interest is growing in another group of these fatty acids.
Omega-7s, which have frequently been called the “beauty omegas”, act at the cellular level as they help to burn fat; support healthy and beautiful skin, hair, and nails; and contribute to our overall health. Here we’ll take a look at these omegas and why you should consider adding them to your supplement routine.
What are omega-7s? 🤔
Present in most tissues of our body and particularly in the fatty tissue in the liver and skin, omega-7s are monounsaturated fats such as palmitoleic acid, rumenic acid, and vaccenic acid.
A number of recent studies have confirmed that, like omega-3 fatty acid, omega-7 provides a variety of health benefits. Of the different omega-7s, palmitoleic acid, which contains beta-carotene and promotes skin hydration, is especially beneficial.
✅️ The list of health benefits of omega-7 fatty acids includes that they:
☑️Boost collagen production, supporting the health of the skin, nails, and hair as they also moisturise the skin
☑️Keep mucous membranes hydrated, including those of the gastrointestinal tract, the female reproductive system, and the mouth
☑️Help to hydrate the eyes and combat dry eye syndrome
☑️Reduce levels of bad LDL cholesterol and increase levels of good HDL cholesterol
☑️Support the cardiovascular system
☑️Benefit the brain and cognitive functions
☑️Aid gastrointestinal health
☑️Support a healthy metabolism
☑️Help to burn fat and regulate blood sugar
☑️Possess anti-inflammatory properties and can combat chronic inflammation in older people
