EFAS – ESSENTIAL
FATTY ACIDS
Whether your health is good or bad is driven largely by the level of inflammation
in your body as well as the amount of lean muscle mass you have. Some diseases,
including obesity, are linked to inflammation as well as the lack of muscle mass.
Controlling the inflammation in your body is a must. You are able to effectively
control the onset of many diseases including, but not limited to: heart disease, type II
diabetes, depression, obesity and arthritis.
Over time, muscle mass decreases. This is especially true when we are not eating
enough protein and are not exercising. The less muscle mass in our bodies, the more
weight we gain. If you want to keep body fat down, up the level of lean mass you have.
Low levels of inflammation and high levels of muscle mass are great markers of a
healthy body. We can keep our bodies young through proper nutrition and exercise
so if you are thinking that you have to lose lean muscle mass because you are getting
older – think again! We get old from the inside out. This is why you want to keep your
inflammation down and keep up with regular exercise.
There is a reason these are called essential fatty acids, you guessed it – because they
are essential! The human body is not able to make them itself so you have to ingest
them. Once EFAs are broken down, they contribute to functioning of vital organs.
EFAs regulate body functions and are essential to cardiac cells. Other functions
linked to EFAs – blood pressure, heart rate, clotting, fertility, conception and the
immune system functions.
Maybe you have heard of EFAs referred to as Omega-3’s or linolenic acid and
Omega-6’s or linoleic acid. These are musts whenever you want to lose weight.
There are two major forms of omega-3 fats used by the body and those are EPA =
eicosapentaenoic acid and DHA = docosahexaenoic acid.
Research reports that a person who keeps a high diet in Omega-3’s is at a lower risk
of cardiovascular diseases. It is also reported that EFA’s may help with reduction of
depression and suicidal feelings.
How does this help your diet? Remember that energy is generated in the cells during
the metabolism of these acids. This will help your metabolism keep running and
burning extra carbs that are stored as fat.
