Super Mix: The Good Fats

Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) are polyunsaturated oils.

They are Essential because our body does not manufacture them, and they must be obtained through the food we eat.
Because of the culture of Fat Phobia

and the constant promotion of low fat and nonfat foods we are not receiving the Good Fats. Unless we eat a lot of fatty food (that is not recommend), we should supplement the EFAs in our diet on a daily basis, for optimal health and well being.

All cell membranes in the human body are composed of phospholipids made mainly from EFAs. Changes in cell membrane structure, is the central factor of injury, mutation (which may result in cancer), and death.

EFAs are critical components of the brain, inner ear, eyes, adrenal glands, and sex organs. EFAs produce beneficial hormone-like compounds called eicosanoids, which affect the function of virtually every system in the body.

Eicosanoids are shown to regulate pain and swelling, help maintain proper blood pressure and cholesterol levels, and reduce elevations in aggression and heart attacks associated with stress and depression.

The good fats are responsible for cell flexibility, nerve communications, mood support and even weight control. They lubricate and help reduce inflammations in joints, blood vessels, brain, lungs and stimulate hormones, reproductive functions, digestive system, memory, cognition, etc.

EFAs are recommended in pregnancy, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowl syndrome, breast pain, premenstrual syndrome, skin disorders such as eczema, acne and rosacea and treatment of arthritis.

Survey suggests that Americans may be as much as 90% deficient in EFAs.

The richest and most beneficial EFA is gamma-linolenic acids (GLA).
