The benefits of Omega Fatty Acids

Healthy Fats

This may be the one of few articles where you’ll hear about how healthy fat is for you. Our body requires certain fats that it cannot create itself. These certain fats are commonly known as omega fatty acids and they are quite vital to our diet. Our bodies use omega fatty acids in a few different ways, the most important being the production of cell membranes, as well as helping to reduce inflammation, blood clots and they also help to keep our cell growth at a healthy level.

Understanding fatty acids

Our bodies use omega fatty acids that are separated in two categories that they fall into, saturated fats (Coconut oil, butter, cheese, palm oil) whose chemical structure contains one or more bonds are vital for immune health. Unsaturated fats (Fish, vegetables, canola, corn, peanut oil) who have two more chemical bonds that play a role in reducing high blood cholesterol.

The main omega fatty acids we call essential fatty acids (EFA) and these are the fats that the body cannot produce itself and why you should be adding a supplement with these or focusing on more foods that are rich in EFAs. According to the World Health Organization, “one should have at least two portions of oily fish per week – salmon, sardines, herring, mackerel, swordfish, pollock, etc. – rich in the omega-3s EPA and DHA. Also, green leafy vegetables including spinach and kale, flaxseed oil, chia seed oil, walnut oil, avocados are sources of omega-3 fatty acids.” And since we know getting this in your diet can be a hassle that’s why we have our Complete Multiple formula made just for combating low EFA in the body.
