All body functions rely on fatty acids for proper operation, and essential fatty acids can only be obtained through diet. Today's culture places a high value on a healthy diet and a slimmer waistline. Remember, just because you lose weight doesn't mean you're eating better. Many people think that cutting out fat from one's diet is the only way to slim down. Due to the fact that specific types of lipids are essential to a healthy body, this might be dangerous. Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) are the name given to these important fats, and as your body can't generate them on its own, they must come from your food. Linoleic Acid (LA), aka omega-6 and Alpha-Linolenic Acid (ALA), aka omega-3, are the two major EFAs for human beings. It aids in monitoring blood clotting: Omega-6 fatty acids increase the production of blood clots, whereas Omega-3 oil decreases blood clot formation. A healthy ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids is preferred. It helps to keep the thyroid and adrenal glands working properly.
