Essential Fatty Acids - Omega 3, Omega 6
If you are deficient in essential fatty acids (EFA’s), there’s a good chance you’re suffering from any number of common disorders and ailments. Our bodies require over 20 essential fats, two of which the body must receive through the diet, as it cannot make them on its own. These two fatty acids are referred to as Omega 3 and Omega 6 oil. These fats are called “essential” because without them our cells, hormones, and neurotransmitters are literally starved of the very nutrients they need to function properly. Essential Fatty Acids are difficult to find in everyday foods, however, they must be part of a healthy diet. The best source of Omega 3 and Omega 6 comes from hemp and flax, and also northern cold-water fish. Pyramis Health carries superior organic Hemp oil from Mum's Original and Fish oil from Nordic Naturals.
Symptoms of Omega 3 and Omega 6 Deficiency
Symptoms of Omega 3 and Omega 6 deficiency in adults can include PMS, diabetes, arthritis, skin disorders (such as psoriasis and eczema), high cholesterol, impaired wound healing, cardiovascular disease and obesity. In children, symptoms of EFA deficiency are allergies, skin disorders, dry skin and brittle nails, hyperactivity, impaired brain function, behavioral disorders, and acne.
