Benefits

EFAs are essential for health and wellbeing and since the human body cannot manufacture them in sufficient amounts they must be supplied in the diet each day.

EFAs are just as important to health as vitamins and minerals and have numerous important functions in the body. They help form and maintain the membrane that surrounds each cell in the body and also help make powerful hormone-like substances called prostaglandins, which control the activity of many cellular and tissue functions. In particular prostaglandins are involved in the inflammatory and anti-inflammatory processes in the body, and Omega 3 EFAs are thought to help manage this balance.

EFAs are needed to support healthy, vibrant skin, hair and nails and help healing. An EFA deficiency can lead to prostaglandin imbalances in the body, resulting in skin problems including itching, red or dry patches, dull hair, dandruff and cracked, brittle nails. A regular intake of EFAs are needed for the structure of cell membranes and can also help prevent moisture loss from the skin.

Correcting the Omega Balance

Nutritional research confirms that maintaining a balance of Omega fatty acids in the diet is important to health. However, although Essential Fatty Acid consumption has increased dramatically over recent decades, the ratio of Omega 3 fatty acids to Omega 6 has declined to one-sixth of the level found in our food supply in the 1850’s.

This mostly due to the increased consumption of Omega 6-rich grains, processed foods and seed oils that has resulted in an overall EFA imbalance.

Current research suggests that the typical Western diet provides a ratio of 15:1 Omega 6 to :Omega 3. However, for optimal health and wellbeing, health professionals recommend the ratio should be less than 3:1. Nutra-Life has increased the balance of Omega 3 in Hi-Omega Flaxseed Oil to help address the Omega imbalance in the modern diet.
