Essential fats ‘oil’ the body by lubricating the joints & skin, as well as being a vital component of every human cell. The body needs them to balance hormones, insulate nerve cells, keep the skin & arteries supple & to keep the body warm. The Western diet is usually high in Omega 6s
- but we are eating too much Omega 6 oils & not enough Omega 3. Over the last century there has been an 80% decrease in the consumption of Omega 3 fatty acids
- many people are deficient in these important & essential fatty acids. The Department of Health recommends that we should all double our intake of omega 3’s by eating oily fish (such as salmon) two to three times a week. But more & more research indicates that it is wise to supplement fatty acids & not to rely just on dietary intake.
