Some oils are essential. They cannot be made in our body, they must be taken from outside with food. These fats are linoleic acid, linolenic acid and arachidonic acid.
Fats are important for our body.- The biggest function of fats is to be energy storage.
– Fat it also acts as a pillow for vital organs.
– The fat layer also acts as insulation.
Some fats are essential. They cannot be made in our body, they must be taken from outside with food. These fats are linoleic acid, linolenic acid and arachidonic acid.
Linoleic acid is found in seed oils such as corn oil, peanut oil, cottonseed oil, and soybean oil.
Linolenic acid is found in linseed oil.
Arachidonic acid is found more in peanut oil.
These fats are unsaturated fats. They have more than one double bond in their structure.
Linoleic acid taken from the diet is omega 6 fatty acid and arachidonic acid in the body.
Linolenic acid, which we take with food, is an omega 3 fatty acid and it creates EPA and DHA (omega3 fatty acids) in the body. The most abundant unsaturated fatty acids in animal fats are palmitoleic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid and arachidonic acid. Arachidonic acid is found in animal foods, especially delicatessen products, eggs, red meat, chicken and shellfish. In addition, arachidonic acid is made in the body from linoleic acid.
Amount of arachidonic acid in eggs:0.192gr/100gr
Amount of linoleic acid:1.47gr/100gr ,7.2%(1)
Linoleic acid (omega 6) amount in flaxseed: 15-20% omega 3 amount 50-60%
In walnut ————- linoleic acid (omega 6) amount: 20-30% omega 3 amount 5-10%
Amount of linoleic acid (omega 6) in sunflower oil 60%
Amount of linoleic acid (omega 6) in corn oil 60%
Olive Linoleic acid in oil (omega6) 10%
As you can see, Arachidonic acid can either be taken directly with food or is made from linoleic acid that we take with food.
ARACHIDONIC ACID——Prostaglandins and thromboxanes (to narrow the vessels and cause blood clotting) Compounds that cause thrombocyte (blood coagulation elements) to aggregate during Details.
Effects of prostaglandins:
Inflammation, pain, fever, tendency of blood to clot, intestinal, uterine and central nervous system effects
Effects of locotrienes: bronchial smooth They play a role in the allergic or inflammatory reaction of the body by causing contraction in the muscles, increase in vascular permeability, and accumulation of leukocytes (white blood cells) in the inflammation area.
Arachidonic acid may affect mental health by causing neuroinflammation.
The negative effects of consuming high amounts of animal-based foods on our health have been shown by many studies. Animal fats are rich in cholesterol, arachidonic acid and allergenic harmful chemicals.
It has been reported that plant-based nutrition corrects all these imbalances.

Again, our basic principle in nutrition should be enough of everything. Adequate and balanced nutrition is essential.
Staying away from sugar and sugary foods is important for our health.
Have a good week.
