Essential fatty acids (EFA’s) are necessary for human life, but the body does not manufacture them, wo we need to obtain them from our diet. Unfortunately, the Standard American Diet (SAD) is low in EFA’s. Because these beneficial fats can help prevent or treat heart disease, arthritis, asthma, cancer, and other health problems, we need them now more than ever.
Resist disease and maintain good health with essential fatty acids. Modern nutritional science has identified the crucial role that essential fatty acids play in creating and maintaining health. Although known as essential, the human body does not produce two of the EFA’s — omega-3 and omega-6. These EFA’s must be obtained from the diet or nutritional supplements. In this important booklet, noted epidemiologist Barbara Wexler, MPH, explains why EFA’s are so important to our health and outlines the many health conditions that can be prevented or treated with increased EFA consumption, including heart disease, arthritis, asthma, and cancer. Wexler also offers specific ways that you can increase your EFA intake in your diet and with nutritional supplements.
Though fat is generally thought of as detrimental to good health, health experts recognize the need for several types of fats in maintaining a number of body processes and organs. Among these are essential fatty acids, which promote nervous system function, the metabolism of other fats, the maintenance of joints, and cardiovascular health.
