Essential Fatty Acids Essential Oil Omega 3-6-9 Essential fatty acids are a necessity for life. Our bodies do NOT manufacture EFA'S, therefore we must obtain them through diet or supplementation!
ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS--VITAL FOR LIFE...Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) are essential for the healthy functioning of every organ, cell, and tissue in your body. They are vital for cell oxygenation, proper brain and nerve function (fatty acids constitute 70% of brain and nerve tissue) proper growth, health skin, lipid and metabolism regulation, prostaglandin and hormone formation, rapid recovery of fatigued muscles, etc. EFA's are anti-inflammatory, brain and cardio protective, and necessary for any weight loss program.
Unfortunately, although our modern day diets are high in fat, it is not the "good" kind of fat. Our foods are cooked with overheated, processed, and often rancid oils. The delicate EFA's in oil are completely destroyed by high temperatures. In fact, prolonged heat completely changes an oil's molecular structure, making it rancid, toxic and very difficult for our bodies to digest and assimilate. Essential fatty acids are healthy fats, the "good" kind of fats, fats that heal. They are "essential" because our bodies do not manufacture them, so they must be supplied by specific foods or through supplementation. If we get the right kind of fats in the right amounts and balances, they build our health and keeps us healthy. The wrong kinds of fats cause degenerative diseases. We need to choose healthy fats every day. SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF ESSENTIAL FATTY ACID DEFICIENCY:
THE END BENEFIT: By using ESSENTIAL OIL OMEGA 3-6-9 you should notice healthier and stronger hair, skin, and nails.* Many users also notice improved skin condition.* In addition, overall digestion and elimination may improve due to ESSENTIAL OIL OMEGA 3-6-9 soothing and lubricating properties.* Improved moods, mental and hormonal balances are frequently noticed. Symptoms of EFA deficiency are reversed with EFA supplementation. In addition to microbial infections, environmental toxins and stress, a poor diet plays a major role in provoking inflammation. Our diets contain too many omega-6 oils that create an overabundance of the inflammatory messengers called prostaglandins and leukotrienes. Bringing omega-6 to omega 3 ratios back into balance is a key factor ion keeping inflammation within normal range. This is more difficult than it seems as today the diet of most Americans has an omega-6 to omega -3 ratio of 20:1 or as much as 50:1. The list of inflammation induced health concerns is a long one, including asthma, allergies, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis, gout, lupus, psoriasis, inflammatory bowel disease, heart attack, congestive heart failure, Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, and chronic bronchitis. |
