heart. The amazing benefits of both fish and flax oil have been

has posted their praises of Omega-3 essential fatty acids in maintaining
a superior cardiovascular system.

Some more information about Omega-3
What are EFAs?
EFAs
are essential fatty acids which are responsible for cell health
and cell regeneration.
Our
bodies cannot manufacture EFAs so they must be provided through
diet.
Omega
3 and Omega 6 are the two EFAs we need.
We
need to consume a 1:1 balance of Omega 3 and Omega 6.
Most
Westerners consume as much as 20 times more Omega 6 than Omega
3.
Most
people, children and adults, are lacking in Omega 3.
Why is the Western diet lacking in Omega 3?
Vegetable
oils are dominant in Omega 6 fatty acids but lacking in Omega
3.
The
processing of oils derived from corn, peanuts, and safflower and
sunflower seeds creates
an extremely concentrated source of Omega-6 at
the expense of Omega-3.
Commercial
production of food means it is stripped of Omega 3 to preserve
its shelf life.
Modern
methods of animal farming were developed to purposely fatten livestock
for slaughter. Pen-feeding livestock with carbohydrate rich grains
teeming with Omega-6, yet devoid of Omega-3, results in the meat
containing considerably more Omega-6, at the expense of
Omega-3,
compared to livestock raised as range-free and wild game.
Lack
of Omega 3 in grain fed to livestock means that it is not passed
through the food chain
to
eggs and some fish supplements.
The
only way to restore a healthy balance in our bodies is by consumption
of oils rich in
Omega 3.
Why do I need Omega 3?
Omega
3 is essential for brain and body function. It is vital for our
immune system, our mental
health and our overall wellbeing.
