The regular intensive sports activities reflect negatively on our immunity and the insufficient intake of omega 3 and omega 6 essential fatty acids is a potentially ticking bomb. The Omega fatty acids, and, in particular, omega-3, are called essential because the human body cannot synthesize them from other non-essential materials. The consumption of sources of omega-3 is the modern diet is too little unlike the intake of omega-6 sources. This creates a strong imbalance. The full deficit of omega-3 fatty acids is impossible, but very low levels in certain groups of people can be observed as the most common of them are vegans, because their fish and animal products consumption are low, and plant sources of omega-3 are not sufficient. Insufficient levels of omega-3 and especially of DHA are the reason for adverse conditions such as anxiety, aggression, difficulties in memorizing and impaired carbohydrate metabolism

Flaxseed is high in omega-3 fatty acids, represented mainly by ALA. However, you cannot get adequate amounts of EPA and DHA from flaxseed oil. Flaxseed contains also lignans - fibers that play a role in the antioxidant protection due to their structure as polyphenols.
