WHAT’S THE BIG DEAL ABOUT
ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS?
They are ‘essential’ for
skin health!
A few short years ago
the public never even heard of these fats, and now there
is an impressive list of the benefits gained when one’s
ingesting enough…..
ENOUGH?
Weren’t we told fats are bad for us?
Well, as in many
things, there’s the good, the bad, and the ugly. The
essential fatty acids are good. |

- Linolenic (Omega 6)
Interesting Facts about Omega 3 &
Omega 6...

- Neither of these essential
fatty acids can be produced by our bodies, therefore they must
come from our diets.
- The balance of Omega 3 to Omega
6 essential fatty acids is critical. An optimal balance would be
3-Omega 3’s to 1-Omega 6.
- Most people it has been found
ingest more Omega 6 essential fatty acids than Omega 3’s.
- Omega 6 essential fatty acids,
in the proper amounts are critical to maintaining normal blood
pressure and serum cholesterol.
- The foods that are rich in
Omega 6’s include flax seeds, sunflower and pumpkin seeds and
olive oil.
- Omega 3 essential fatty acids
are even more important. Because most people are out of balance
with their Omega 6’s, Omega 3’s need to be ingested in high
amounts. What happened? Why are the two so out of balance?
Since modern farming and animal
husbandry practices have replaced small farming operations,
there has been a tremendous decline in Omega 3’s. Commercial beef and
dairy products no longer contain them as they once did. When
cows were pastured, in the days of old, eating green grass,
their meat and milk contained high levels of this important
antioxidant ingredient.
Today, modern agriculture
raises them on corn, an ingredient very high in Omega 6’s, and
thus upsets the balance, triggering an
inflammatory reaction. The myriad
of inflammatory diseases include, diabetes, high blood pressure,
high cholesterol and asthma…to name just a few. |

~Omega 3 essential fatty acids
seem to play a large role in the reduction of breast cancer,
heart disease and obesity, as well as a large variety of skin
conditions like eczema.
~And that isn’t all. Studies are
indicating essential fatty acids play a large role in a women’s
pregnancy for not only the babies health but in actually raising
their IQ’s when moms have proper amounts in their own diets.
~What’s more, research is
connecting deficiencies to not only mood disorders such as
depression and bi-polararity, but also the brain disorder
schizophrenia. And, it has been observed that when some children
that have been diagnosed with A.D.D.or A.D.H.D., take Omega 3
capsules they are markedly improved.
