By now most people have heard of the importance of essential fatty acids to a nutritious diet and a healthy body. However, not everyone is acting on this information – yet. Experts estimate that fully 80 percent of the American population is deficient in these important elements.
Essential fatty acids are peculiar in that the human body absolutely needs them for many important functions, but it cannot manufacture them itself. That leaves your diet the task of making up for this, and unfortunately, many people’s diets fall short.
Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids are two families of this supplement. The human body requires a balanced combination of both for optimum performance. Most people take in too many omega-6 fats, and not enough omega-3 sources. This is where supplements come in.
Excellent sources of essential fatty acids include flax oil (also known as flax seed oil), flax oil capsules, fish oil, fish oil capsules, and special flax seed supplements like Barlean’s Forti-Flax, which also includes valuable fiber, amino acids, and trace minerals. Such supplements are truly one-stop shops for your and your family’s improved personal health.
Incorporating essential fatty acids into your diet is not difficult, and the advantages are overwhelming. All you and your loved ones need is a supplement once a day – flax oil mixed into your breakfast, or a few capsules with your coffee – and you will be on the road to an infinitely more vibrant, energetic life.
