what are the important omega 3 fatty acid foods needed for human body function

Omega-3 fatty acids are the essential fats our body can’t make from other fats or raw materials. Some food rich in Omega 3 fatty acids includes fish, nuts, vegetable oils, flax seed oil, and leafy vegetables. Experts at Test House, one of the leading organic food testing labs in Chennai, opinionate that omega-3 fatty acids are responsible for the creation of hormones that regulate blood clotting, genetic functions, and contraction and relaxation of artery walls. 


Being one of the best Fatty acid Profile analysis labs in Chennai, we have found the following foods to be rich in omega-3 fatty acids:


  • Cod liver oil

  • Salmon fish

  • Walnuts

  • Eggs

  • Chia seeds

  • Flax seeds

  • Soyabean

  • Spinach

  • Brussel sprouts

  • Mangoes

  • Berries

  • Avocado


According to the experts of our organic food testing labs in Chennai, omega-3 fatty acids are of three types: 


  • Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) 

  • Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)

  • Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA)


ALA is the most common omega-3 fatty acid found in vegetable oils, nuts, flax seeds, and leafy vegetables. Our body uses ALA for energy, and its conversion to other fat forms is limited. DHA and EPA are mostly found in fish and are often called omega-3s.


Though omega 3 fatty acids are good for health, our experts at Fatty acid Profile analysis labs in Chennai recommend not to intake more than 3gms of it daily. High levels of fatty acids may also cause health problems like bleeding and obesity. We recommend you seek help from an expert to know the right omega-3 fatty acid levels for your body.

How do you analyze asbestos?

Analyzing asbestos typically involves laboratory testing to determine the presence of asbestos fibers in a sample. Asbestos is a group of naturally occurring minerals that are widely used in construction and other industries due to their heat resistance and durability. However, asbestos poses serious health risks, and its use is now heavily regulated or banned in many countries. Here are the general steps involved in analyzing asbestos: Sample Collection: Samples need to be collected from the suspected material or area. Common sources include building materials like insulation, ceiling tiles, floor tiles, and pipe insulation. Ensure that the person collecting the sample follows proper safety procedures, including wearing appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) to avoid exposure. Preparation of Samples: The collected samples are prepared for analysis. This may involve techniques such as crushing, grinding, or other methods to release the asbestos fibers from the material.
