Are you getting your essential fatty acids?

Omega-3 fats are known as essential fatty acids (“EFAs”) because they are important for good health and are a good source of brain food.   The body cannot make these fatty acids on its own so omega-3s must be obtained from food.  

We can obtain these types of fatty acids from a wide selection of fish including salmon, tuna, sardines, trout, sword fish, herring and mackerel to name some.  We can also obtain omega 3 fatty acids from dark green leafy vegetables, rapeseed, evening primrose and walnut oils and some vegetable oils.
