Do You Need Essential Fatty Acids?

Most Americans have been brainwashed to believe that all fats are bad for you. However, the body needs good fats for brain and glandular function, cellular health and immune regulation. We crave fats because our body is looking for essential fatty acids that may be missing in our modern diet. To find out if you need an essential fatty acid supplement, check the answer that best applies to you for each of the following questions. Then, check the total number of points at the bottom of the survey.

Choosing an Essential Fatty Acid Supplement

Contrary to all the propaganda to the contrary, we need fats in our diet to stay healthy. Fats play critical roles in the body. Brain and nerve tissue, for instance, requires the proper kind of fats, and low fat diets can lower the intelligence of children. The heart burns fat as its primary source of fuel. Fats are also burned to keep the body warm in cold weather. Fats are also necessary for the production of many hormones.

Extremely low fat diets are not good for us and can actually raise cholesterol, since about half of the cholesterol in our body is used to make bile to digest fats. However, we need to get the right kinds of fats in our diet and most of the fats we're eating are the wrong kind of fats.

For starters, Americans tend to get too many omega-6 fatty acids and not enough omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids protect us against heart disease. They also benefit the immune system because they help control the chronic inflammation that underlies the development of hardening of the arteries, arthritis, memory loss in aging and other degenerative disease. The best sources of omega-3 are wild game, grass fed beef, eggs, poultry and deep ocean fish (not farm raised).
Avocados and nuts, especially walnuts, also contain good fats.

Since most people eat very little of these foods, they need to supplement their omega-3. Super Omega-3 EPA is a good supplement to ensure you are getting these important fats in your diet. Flax Seed Oil is another good source. Flax seed oil contains the correct balance of omega-3 and omega-6 essential fatty acids.

To avoid bad fats, avoid fried foods, processed foods and saturated fat from commercial meat and dairy products. But, not all saturated fats are bad, either. The medium chain saturated fatty acids in organic butter from grass fed cows and coconut oil benefit the immune system, the thyroid gland and the brain. So add some of these fats to your diet, too. Extra virgin olive oil contains mostly omega-9 fatty acids and is another good fat to include in your diet in moderate amounts.
