omega 3s

Omega 3 Fatty Acids –Omega 3 Fatty Acids are polyunsaturated fats considered to be Essential Fatty Acids. They are “essential”, which means that we must get them in our diet. Omega 3s help prevent heart disease, make blood clots less likely to form inside your arteries, improve the balance of cholesterol, and reduce inflammation in the body (now believed to be one of the leading causes of disease).  Essential fatty acids build cell membranes and protect the body from harmful bacteria and viruses.  The digestive system, immune system, cardiovascular system and central nervous system all need essential fatty acids to maintain a healthy working condition.  Omega 3’s, in particular, help cells communicate with one another and regulate hormone levels.  Interestingly, our body can not make Omega 3s, so we need to get them from food.  Where can we get them?  Cold water fish like salmon is a great source.  Flax seeds and flax seed oil also contain omega 3s.  And don’t forget about walnuts – they are even shaped like hemispheres of the brain as a reminder of there omega 3 benefits for keeping your brain healthy.  Omega 3s can also be found in animals that are naturally raised eating grass.  Think grass-fed beef, organic and natural chicken and pork.  When the animals are happy, you will be, too!
