Nuvel… one of the healthiest choices around!
NUVEL non-hydrogenated margarine offers real health benefits
Actual proof of Nuvel’s health benefits came in 1995 from the Research Fund of the Montreal Heart Institute (known today as the Montreal Heart Institute Foundation). After studying our product, they declared that Nuvel Non-hydrogenated Margarine represented a better choice for the health than regular margarines.
Nuvel Non-hydrogenated Margarine contains no trans fatty acids and has a high concentration of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids, including Omega-3 (linolenic fatty acids).
The health benefits of Omega-3
Omega-3 is important to our general health, but the benefits to the heart particularly stand out. These include Omega-3’s role in the following:
- reducing triglycerides
- dilating the blood vessels
- reducing blood clot formation, and consequently the risk of stroke
- increasing blood fluidity
- anti-inflammatory action
It has also been noted that Omega-3 could have beneficial effects in depression, schizophrenia, psoriasis, eczema, Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, asthma and rheumatoid arthritis. In addition, it helps in the development and growth of the brain and retinal tissue of newborn babies.
Meeting our needs
There are three main sources of Omega-3: plants, fish and supplements.
Plant sources of Omega-3:
- Oils (flax, canola, nuts, soy)
- Flax, salba or chia seeds
- Walnuts
Fish sources of Omega-3:
- Oily fish (mackerel, Atlantic salmon, rainbow trout, sardines)
- Fish oils
Omega-3 supplements:
When your regular diet does not provide sufficient quantities.
Omega-3 fatty acids are considered essential for the health because the body cannot produce them with other nutrients. It is therefore important to consume enough each day.
