Omega-3 EFA & DHA Supplements

The Truth About Fat

Fats are broken down into 3 categories:

1. Saturated fats
2. Mono-unsaturated fats
3. Poly-unsaturated fats (this includes Omega 3 and Omega 6 essential fatty acids [EFAs])

We’re discussing Poly-Unsaturated Fats, Fatty Acids, and Essential Fatty Acids

The human body can produce all but 2 of the fatty acids it needs. These 2 fatty acids are linoleic acid (LA acid), which is the �parent� fatty acid to the Omega 6 family) and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA acid) which is the �parent� fatty acid in the Omega 3 family.

Essential fatty acids (EFA�s) . When the word �essential� is used in a nutrition context, it refers to something the body cannot make on its own and must find from outside sources � i.e., your diet.

Foods High in Omega 3 include:

• Flax seeds
• Cold water fish such as salmon, herring, mackerel
• Sardines

Foods High in Omega 6 include:

• Sunflower seeds
• Vegetable oils such as corn, sunflower, sesame, soybean, safflower
• Margarine
• Pumpkin seeds

Additionally, Essential Fatty Acid Supplements can supplement your diet.
