What is Omega-3?
What role do EFAs play in the body?
- Regulating the inflow and outflow of substances to and from cells
- Transporting oxygen from red blood cells to the tissues
- Maintaining proper kidney function and fluid balance
- Keeping saturated fats mobile in the blood stream
- Preventing blood cells from clumping together (blood clots that can be a cause of heart attack and stroke) mediating the release of inflammatory substances from cells that may trigger allergic conditions
- Regulating nerve transmission and communication
- If the diet is deficient in either Omega-6 or Omega-3 long-term degenerative illnesses will result.
