⚠️ Heart disease vs. sudden cardiac death

type	mechanism	result
Heart attack	Coronary artery blockage → myocardial hypoxia	Death can be immediate or delayed
Sudden cardiac death	Sudden failure of the cardiac electrical system	Instant death often occurs without warning.

🧬 The protective effect of Omega-3 on the heart

Antiarrhythmic → Stabilizes heart rhythm
Anti -inflammatory → Reduces myocardial fibrosis
Anti -thrombotic → Reduces unnecessary thrombus formation
Protecting the vascular endothelium → lowering blood pressure and preventing arteriosclerosis
Improving cell membrane fluidity → Enhancing the responsiveness of heart cells

⚠️ The adverse effects of Omega-6 : Makes the heart more vulnerable

Source: Vegetable oils (corn oil, soybean oil, peanut oil, sunflower oil, etc.)
Hardening of cell membranes → Increased risk of arrhythmia
Increased risk of insulin resistance, obesity, and fatty liver disease
Ideal ratio: Omega-6 : Omega-3 = 1 : 1
Americans have an average ratio as high as 15:1 → significantly increased cardiovascular risk

🍽️ Hidden Omega-6 food list

Food/Source	question
Grain-fed chickens, eggs, beef	High in Omega-6 fatty acids
Cereals (bread, pasta, cereal)	High in phytic acid, pro-inflammatory
Most nuts (except walnuts)	High Omega-6
Salad dressing, mayonnaise	Made mostly from vegetable oil
Commercially available hummus	Use cheaper oils instead of olive oil
Restaurant food, French fries	Deep-frying at high temperatures → Omega-6 levels skyrocket

✅ Omega-3 Supplement Recommendations

Fish oil : Stabilizes heart rate, anti-inflammatory .
Cod Liver Oil : Contains Omega-3 + Vitamins A and D
Wild salmon, sardines, and mackerel : natural sources of Omega-3

🧾 Conclusion: Don’t be trapped by the myth of “vegetable oil = health” anymore

Hong Kong people often eat out and consume a lot of processed oils, making excessive Omega-6 intake a major hidden killer of heart health . Starting today, a spoonful of cod liver oil, a piece of wild salmon, and a homemade olive oil salad dressing will help you build a strong foundation for your heart!

Don't be fooled by the myth that "low-fat = heart health." True health comes from knowing how to supplement with Omega-3 , avoid Omega-6 , and protect your heart rate! 💪🐟❤️
