“Omega-6″ and “Omega-3″ are undeniably the dietary buzz words for the new millennium. Labels on bread and cereal packaging have dramatically promoted sources of essential fatty acids as the pathway to a healthy diet. Not only is it essential to include Omega-6 and Omega-3, but researchers are finding that the balance of these two things is equally important.

The first category of fatty acids is called Linoleic Acid (LA), which falls into the poly-unsaturated category. The second is called Alpha Linolenic Acid (LNA), also from the poly-unsaturated category but sometimes referred to as “super-unsaturated” because of its extremely low melting point.

LA and LNA facilitate the production of other naturally produced fatty acids, so they’re really important supplements to get the body energized. Additionally, growing processes and mental functions are improved as the fatty acids act as transporters of oxygen, electrons and energy in and out of cells.

With these acids, hemoglobin production is stimulated and nutrients pass along cell membranes effortlessly. Digestive functions are improved and chronic heartburn becomes a thing of the past. The recovery time from fatigue is shortened and the damage from saturated fats is reduced, since these fatty acids helps to disperse and transport the bad cholesterol out of the system.
