Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) for Your Health
Essential fatty acids (EFAs) are nutritional elements, which our bodies cannot produce. They are as vital to us as vitamins and we need to ingest them from food sources. There are two main types of essential fatty acids:
Although our diets tend to be rich in Omega 6, many Western diets are low in Omega 3. This may be due to lowered consumption of oily fish and the fashion for "low fat" food.
Some scientists believe that the lack of Omega 3 in the Northern European diet is directly linked to the proportionately high levels of Western degenerative diseases in the population such as heart disease, cancer, allergies, asthma, arthritis and even certain brain function disorders such as ADHD and depression.

Oily fish such as Salmon, Sild, Pilchards, Herring, Sardines and Anchovies are a rich source of Omega 3 essential fatty acids. The FSA suggests eating no more than one portion per week as it may contain harmful dioxins. Eating one portion per week, in addition to taking a high quality fish oil supplement may reduce this risk, while increasing intake of Omega 3 (EPA & DHA).
