Essential Fatty Acids are the GOOD fats the human body needs.
Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) are necessary fats that he human body cannot synthesize,
and which must be obtained through diet or supplements.
Most Americans are Omega-3 deficient because of our over-processed diets.
One of the most common symptoms of Omega-3 deficiency is depression, among other mental health symptoms.
Good fats compete with bad fats, so it's important to minimize the intake of trans-fatty acids
(from hydrogenated vegetable oils) and cholesterol (animal fat) while consuming enough good fats.
Also, good fats raise your HDL or "good cholesterol".
One of the jobs of High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) or "good cholesterol" is to grab your bad cholesterol, LDL (Low Density Lipoprotein),
and escort it to the liver where it is broken down and excreted.
In other words, these good fats can reverse some of the damage already done by the bad fats.
This is very important in an age when so many Americans are struggling to get their cholesterol down, and fight heart disease and obesity.
Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) support the cardiovascular, reproductive, immune, and nervous systems.
The human body needs EFAs to manufacture and repair cell membranes, enabling the cells to obtain optimum nutrition and expel harmful waste products. A primary function of EFAs is the production of prostaglandins, which regulate body functions such as heart rate, blood pressure, blood clotting, fertility, conception, and play a role in immune function by regulating inflammation and encouraging the body to fight infection.
Essential Fatty Acids are also needed for proper growth in children, particularly for neural development and maturation of sensory systems, with male children having higher needs than females.
EFA deficiency and Omega 6/3 imbalance is linked with serious health conditions, such as heart attacks, cancer, insulin resistance, asthma, lupus, schizophrenia, depression, postpartum depression, accelerated aging, stroke, obesity, diabetes, arthritis, ADHD, and Alzheimer's Disease, among others.
