The Skinny on Fat
We all know that dietary fat is crucial for optimal health and metabolism. What is less clear, however, is how to choose the right kind of fats. In general, saturated fats (found primarily in animal and dairy products) should be avoided and, instead, a wide variety of plant-based fats should be consumed in moderation, with particular emphasis on polyunsaturated fats.
Within polyunsaturated fats are substances called Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs), namely Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids. EFAs control or modulate an amazing number of cellular processes and are as important as protein, carbohydrates, vitamins or minerals. EFAs are aptly named as they must be obtained from food; the body can not make them on its own.
Volumes of scientific studies support the fact that a dietrich in unprocessed, plant-based good fats can help :
enhance brain and nervous system function
increase energy and performance
reduce cardiovascular disease
strengthen the immune system
improve organ and gland function
grow healthy skin, hair, and nails
reduce inflammation
regulate body weight
Supplementing with a full spectrum, balanced blend of oils such as those found in Vega Antioxidant EFA Blend can help you attain those much needed good fats and ensure your body is running smoothly on all cylinders.
