With a deficiency of these substances, there is a rapid accumulation of "bad" cholesterol, which blocks blood vessels, settling on their walls in plaques. Polyunsaturated fatty acids serve as a basis for the formation of "good" cholesterol, which eliminates metabolic imbalances, ensures normal supply of nutrients and energy to cells, and reduces the likelihood of inflammation.
