Some more information about Omega-3
What are EFAs?
EFAs are essential fatty acids which are responsible for cell health and cell regeneration.
Our bodies cannot manufacture EFAs so they must be provided through diet.
Omega 3 and Omega 6 are the two EFAs we need.
We need to consume a 1:1 balance of Omega 3 and Omega 6.
Most Westerners consume as much as 20 times more Omega 6 than Omega 3.
Most people, children and adults, are lacking in Omega 3.
Why is the Western diet lacking in Omega 3?
Vegetable oils are dominant in Omega 6 fatty acids but lacking in Omega 3.
The processing of oils derived from corn, peanuts, and safflower and sunflower seeds creates an extremely concentrated source of Omega-6 at the expense of Omega-3.
Commercial production of food means it is stripped of Omega 3 to preserve its shelf life.
Modern methods of animal farming were developed to purposely fatten livestock for slaughter. Pen-feeding livestock with carbohydrate rich grains teeming with Omega-6, yet devoid of Omega-3, results in the meat containing considerably more Omega-6, at the expense of Omega-3, compared to livestock raised as range-free and wild game.
Lack of Omega 3 in grain fed to livestock means that it is not passed through the food chain to eggs and some fish supplements.
The only way to restore a healthy balance in our bodies is by consumption of oils rich in Omega 3.
Why do I need Omega 3?
Omega 3 is essential for brain and body function. It is vital for our immune system, our mental health and our overall wellbeing.
