Consuming Wagyu beef is beneficial to your health, possessing a unique high concentration of beneficial omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids. The human body can manufacture most of the fat types it wants, except for two, known as essential fatty acids (EFAs). Most positive health benefits are seen in these two EFAs, which are divided into two types - linoleic acid (omega 6) and linolenic acid (omega 3). These are needed to assist in immune resistance, vision, building cell membranes, blood clotting and blood pressure. Areas of benefit include protection against heart disease, arthritis, depression, Alzheimers, high-blood pressure, and anti carcinogenic properties. The unique advantage in Wagyu is that it contains a much higher proportion of the desirable monounsaturated fats than other beef. The monounsaturated/saturated fat ratio is up to three times higher in Wagyu than in any other beef (ratio of monounsaturated fat to saturated fat is about 2:1).
