When we think about weight loss, we tend to only associate it with getting rid of fat from our bodies. However there are actually good fats known as Omega-3, Omega-6, and Omega-9 that are important for your health. These fats are known as Essential Fatty Acids and they are the basic building blocks of which fats and oils are composed.
Although Essential Fatty Acids are necessary for your health, they actually cannot be made by the body and must be supplied through your diet. This is where The Aspen Clinic’s Omega 3-6-9 supplement comes in.
What Foods Provide Omega 3-6-9?
Omega-3 is typically found in fresh deepwater fish, fish oil, and certain cold pressed vegetable oils like canola, flaxseed, and walnut oil.
Omega-6 is found in raw nuts, seeds, legumes, and unsaturated vegetable oils like borage, grape seed, primrose, sesame, and soybean oil.
Omega-9 can be found in canola oil, safflower oil, avocados, olives, almonds, cashews, and macadamia nuts.
If you don’t find yourself consuming these foods in your regular diet, try our Omega 3-6-9 supplement!
Benefits of Essential Fatty Acids
Essential Fatty Acids can be very beneficial towards many health issues such as candidiasis, cardiovascular disease, eczema, and psoriasis. Other ways that they can improve your health include:
- Improve skin and hair
- Reduce blood pressure
- Prevent arthritis
- Lower cholesterol/ triglyceride levels
