The first thing someone usually changes when they become aware of the importance of not developing high cholesterol levels is increased physical activity, a change in diet and having a positive attitude in their day to day.

However, this equation is still missing an essential element: the consumption of Omega 3.

More than 60% of Spaniards do not make the recommended intake of this essential fatty acid, especially at an early age, which is where more emphasis must be placed when developing a healthy habit, so as not to suffer from associated cardiovascular diseases.

Pathologies that are already the first cause of death in Spain and that could be prevented by taking 250 mg of Omega 3 every day.

Take the recommended daily amount of Omega 3, easier than you think

Omega 3 fatty acids cannot be synthesized.

We must take them directly from oily fish (anchovies and anchovies, tuna, sardines, mackerel, swordfish...), nuts such as walnuts, almonds and hazelnuts, or taking enriched foods.

In this sense, an enriched milk such as Puleva Omega 3 additionally incorporates essential fatty acids, oleic acid and other micronutrients that replace part of the saturated fats found in milk.

Likewise, it has also been enriched with natural extracts of grapes and green tea without theine, vitamins and minerals.

With the simple gesture of drinking a glass of Puleva Omega 3 milk every day, half of the recommended daily intake is ensured, which each person must complete with oily fish and nuts.

The current rise in prices does not help you to be able to take the recommended daily Omega 3.

Fish consumption has plummeted due to inflation and, according to the Ministry of Agriculture, it is the food that has fallen the most in sales.

That is why the alternative of a food enriched with Omega 3 can be a useful help to cover the daily intake requirements of this essential fat for cardiovascular health.

With a small gesture such as changing the usual glass of milk for one of Puleva Omega 3 every day, we will be covering half of the recommended daily amount of Omega 3 fatty acids and taking care of our heart.

Five healthy tips to avoid the increase in cholesterol

  • Eat foods that contain Omega 3: oily fish, nuts and/or enriched foods such as Puleva Omega 3 every day.

  • Get moving: half an hour of physical activity a day helps to reduce the level of triglycerides and LDL cholesterol (commonly known as 'bad cholesterol').

  • Avoid trans fats from processed foods and fried foods.

  • Do not drink alcohol or moderate its consumption to a minimum.

  • Quit smoking: Carbon monoxide from cigarettes raises LDL cholesterol and lowers HDL ('good' cholesterol).

    • Getting into the habit of taking Omega 3 fatty acids every day is highly recommended.

    Achieving it in a simple and pleasant way is possible by replacing the traditional glass of milk with one enriched with Omega 3 fatty acids. A good habit to take care of the heart every day.
