Essential Fatty Acids

 

Many people do not regularly consume adequate amounts of healthy essential fatty acids through the daily diet due to high intakes of over-processed foods and saturated fats. This imbalance in dietary fat intake can lead to negative health consequences. Essential fatty acids have the ability to convert into beneficial hormone-like compounds, which may balance blood clotting and support healthy inflammation marker levels.

Two types of essential fats — omega-3 and omega-6 — refer to the chemical structure of the fat molecules. Both are important to consume to maintain adequate health.
