What are essential fatty acids (EFAS)?
EFAs are polyunsaturated fats or ‘good fats’. The main EFAs are:
Omega 6 or Linoleic Acid (LA), Omega 3 or Alpha Linolenic Acid (ALA), and Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA). The human body requires these EFAs in proper proportions to help maintain good health and must obtain these EFAs from food or supplements. Due to modern food processing and food consumption trends, today’s average diet contains only a fraction of the EFAs which were common in the diets of our nineteenth century counterparts.What are the health benefits of EFAS?
In our bodies, EFAs are converted into prostaglandins. It is well documented that prostaglandins act on all organs in the body. Many researchers have identified these prostaglandin functions and the inherent benefits of proper EFA intake.
The following is a partial list of potential benefits:
- reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease by lowering cholesterol and blood pressure
- reduces the risk of stroke and blood clots by reducing blood platelet coagulation
- reduces the risk of osteoporosis by increasing the absorption of calcium
- for diabetics, insulin function is improved
- reduces inflammation, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, eczema, psoriasis • increases immunity by improving T-cell function
- increases energy by increasing oxygen transportation into the cells
- improves vitamin and mineral absorption into the cells
- improves hair growth and skin moisture
Strong evidence also suggests that people suffering from multiple sclerosis and attention deficit disorder may benefit from properly balanced EFA intake.
Hempola® Farm Hemp Seed Oil also contains the perfect balance of EFAs. Approximately 80% of Hempola® Farm Hemp Seed Oil is polyunsaturated fat or EFAs, the highest available in the plant kingdom. Very important is the ideal 3:1 ratio of Omega 6: Omega 3 EFAs. Hempola® Farm Hemp Seed Oil also contains GLA, from which Omega 6 is naturally converted. No other single-source oil has this ideal combination of essential fatty acids.
