More Information About Omega Oils (EFAs)

These essential oils are the most important nutrient that we need to supplement. Our bodies can't make them; they must come from food or supplements. EFAs naturally fulfill our appetite. When your body is not getting the nutrients it needs, the only thing it can do is signal your hunger to try to get needed nutrients through eating more foods. When you get the nutrients your body requires, your hunger switch is turned off! When supplementing these essential nutrients you will notice that you don’t get hungry as often and require less food to be satisfied.

Many sources report that EFAs play an important role in reducing the risk of Heart Disease. The New England Journal of Medicine found that 8 ounces of fish, which contains EFAs, each week reduced the risk of fatal heart attacks.¹ Countries that consume high levels of EFAs have been shown to have less problems with diabetes and heart disease.²

Our vascular system is the life support superhighway of our body. Blood transports nutrients to our organs, muscles and tissues through a network of blood vessels. The cells that make up the lining of blood vessels need EFAs to keep them healthy and resistant to damage. If we are eating a diet lacking in EFAs, which usually means consuming transfats instead, the walls of our blood vessels can become rigid and damage more easily.³ High insulin levels from eating too many carbs can damage artery walls.⁴

To make matters worse, EFA deficiency and high sugar levels can make blood platelets sticky. This makes it more likely for blood cells to stick together and form clots.⁵

It is very important to make sure you are getting the proper balance of EFAs to help keep your vascular system running smoothly.

We also need EFAs to absorb vitamins E and A, which are fat soluble. EFA deficiency often shows up as dry and flaky skin.⁶ Our top layer of skin requires fat (EFAs) to prevent unnecessary loss of water. EFAs help to make your skin soft and flexible.

We need to supplement EFA oils from organic or wildcrafted seeds such as Evening Primrose, Flax, Pumpkin, Sunflower, and Safflower. It is best to supplement from seeds instead of fish oils. Fish oils often contain pollutants, and the chemicals and heat used to extract the oils from fish can damage the oil. In addition, the best fish go to the markets and restaurants. The quality of the fish used to produce oil supplements can not be guaranteed. It is also important to note that coconut oil has some beneficial qualities, and has been known to preserve EFAs.

Our bodies need at least 4 times more omega 6 than omega 3. A common myth is that you should supplement more omega 3 than 6 because we get omega 6 in our foods. It is true we get omega 6 in foods, but most of the omega 6 that we get in foods is processed and destroyed. This is the transfat we talked about earlier. It starts out as good healthy omega six, and then is ruined by processing. Given that most omega 6 in our food is ruined, we need to supplement more healthy omega six into our bodies. Hopefully you are trying to minimize processed foods and are not getting bad omega 6 in the first place. Since we do get some good omega 6 in our foods, a satisfactory ratio of omega 6 to omega 3 to supplement would be between 2 to 1 and 3 to 1. That's two to three times as much omega 6 as omega 3. When taking the proper ratio of oils, you really don't need very much oil on a daily basis.
