Whole, sliced, or turned into juice, these dried plums are purported to help you poop—and that’s no small thing, as anyone who’s struggled to go on the regular can attest to, Amy Burkhart, MD, RD, a physician and registered dietitian who specializes in gut health, tells SELF.
魚介類が食べられなくてもOK。植物性オメガ3脂肪酸を含む8つの食材

5 days ago | vogue.co.jp | Caroline Tien |Rieko Kosai

オメガ3脂肪酸と聞いてまず思い浮かぶのは、サーモンやマグロなどの脂ののった魚かもしれない。でも、もしヴィーガンであったり、動物性・魚介類の摂取を控えていたりするなら、それでも問題はない。植物由来のオメガ3も、十分に摂取することができる。これは朗報だ。というのも、「オメガ3脂肪酸は本当に重要な脂肪なんです」と、ノースカロライナ州の栄養カウンセリング「Redefined Nutrition」創設者で管理栄養士のアンバー・ヤング（MS, RDN）は語っている。オメガ3脂肪酸は、多価不飽和脂肪酸という健康的な脂肪で、体中の細胞膜の構造を形成するのに不可欠な成分。心臓、肺、血管の働きに関わるだけでなく、免疫系や内分泌系の機能にも関係している。さらに、がん、認知症、アルツハイマー病など、深刻な疾患のリスクを長期的に下げる可能性も示唆されている。とくに心臓の健康に関しては、高血圧や中性脂肪（トリグリセリド）といった心疾患リスク因子に対抗する可能性があるとも言われている。...

2 weeks ago | vogue.com.tw | Caroline Tien |Jasmine Lee

當你想到Omega-3脂肪酸時，腦海中第一時間浮現的食物，大多是鮭魚、鮪魚等富含油脂的魚類。不過，如果你是素食者，或者有其他原因不想吃動物或魚類產品，有許多植物性來源同樣能提供豐富的Omega-3。以下是美國北卡羅來納州Redefined Nutrition營養諮詢中心的創辦人、營養學碩士暨註冊營養師Amber Young在接受《SELF》採訪時對Omega-3的分享。為什麼Omega-3如此重要？ Omega-3是一種健康的多元不飽和脂肪酸，能幫助人體建構細胞膜的結構，對心臟、肺部、血管、免疫系統及內分泌系統的正常運作至關重要。研究指出，這類脂肪酸與降低多種重大疾病風險有關，包括：癌症、失智症與阿茲海默症。其中最廣為人知的功效之一，就是它對心臟的幫助：Omega-3有助於降低高血壓與三酸甘油脂等心血管疾病的危險因子。就像人體無法自行合成某些必需胺基酸一樣，我們也無法自行製造Omega-3，必須仰賴飲食攝取或營養補充品(如魚油)。魚類和海鮮，尤其是冷水魚，如：鮪魚、鯡魚、鮭魚、鯖魚和沙丁魚是最常見的Omega-3 來源，但其實某些堅果、種子、植物和植物油也富含這種脂肪酸。...
