Essential
Fatty Acids (EFAs)
EFAs are the fats that our body cannot synthesize,
yet are absolutely neccesary for health and correct body functioning.
The two fatty acids known as 'essential' are linoleic acid (LA
/ omega6 / w6) and alpha-linolenic acid (LNA / omega3
/ w3). As the body cannot create these vital substances, it relies
upon us to provide them through foods and supplements such as flax
and fish oil.
