Omega-3s
are referred to as essential, because our body cannot create them, we
must ingest them. However, fish and supplements (DHA/EPA) are not the
answer. Instead, to receive optimal benefits, it is best to consume
omega-3s via plant-based foods, such as ground Flax Seeds.
But let’s, back up, why are Omega-3s so great?
For
starters they are highly anti-inflammatory and protect against heart
attacks, stroke and dementia, while limiting the severity of arthritis,
depression and even dry wrinkly skin and dry scalp. They are absolutely
necessary for brain and retinol development in a growing fetus. Omega-3s also keep our hair, skin, and nails healthy and they also maintain/improve our sight and intelligence. As well as help the body assimilate insulin and help prevent cancer cell growth.
Keep It Healthy!
