You can find out what fats make up your cells with the Omega-3 Index Complete test. Your daily nutrition plan isn’t the only factor that establishes your blood fatty acid levels – genetics, gender, weight, age and other lifestyle factors all can play a role. For some fats like omega-3s and trans fats, eating that fat directly increases blood levels of that fat. On the other hand, other fats like saturated fat doesn’t directly raise blood levels of saturated fat, but excess carbohydrate intake does. This is why testing matters. The only way to know your blood levels of fatty acids is, and how your dietary changes affect them, is to test. As we like to say at eNRG Performance, “Test. Don’t guess.”
