Calories of Omega 3 in Milk

Thursday, April 1st, 2010

omega 3 milkThe people are influenced by lifestyle habits (eating, nutritional status, physical activity, consumption of toxic substances). During the past two decades, scientific research has shown that a “proper nutrition”, ie which provides food through all the nutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals) in quantity and adequate quality, taken regularly, is a vehicle for health promotion.

However, the classical concept of “proper nutrition” tends to be replaced by “optimal nutrition”, which includes, in addition to the above definition, the potential of foods to promote health, improve welfare and reduce the risk of develop disease. In this area are functional foods, and one of them is milk with omega 3.

Whole milk has about 61 calories per 100 ml, ie about 160 calories per cup of 250 ml.

Omega-3 milk has 55 calories per 100 ml of milk, which is about 137 calories per cup of milk instead of whole milk 160.

Oleic acid appears to slow gastric emptying giving a feeling of satiety and also favors the satiating hormone synthesis (peptide Y and cholecystokinin).

On the other hand omega 3 fatty acids, thanks to its structure with many double bonds, are used by the mitochondria as an energy source and do not accumulate as with saturated fat.

But besides milk fats are polyunsaturated fats Omega 3 (EPA and DHA) and monounsaturated (oleic acid) that are healthier for your heart than saturated fats contained in milk. Thus, omega three milk has fewer calories than whole milk but also its component fats are healthier.
