Benefits And Deficiencies Of Omega-3 Essential Fatty Acids
Our bodies can-not manufacture the essential fatty acids Omega-6 and Omega-3 from foods we eat. They must be supplied daily in the diet, or in supplement form.
Our daily supply of Omega-6’s is usually not a problem, because they can be found in all foods containing nuts, seeds, grains, beans, as well as in the oils pressed from these, such as sesame, canola, walnut, safflower, sunflower, rice, soy, and peanut oil.
On the other hand, most people’s daily nutrition is deficient in Omega-3, which is primarily found in fish, and in Flax and Chia seeds.
Benefits Of Selenium For Heart, Cancer, Babies, Thyroid And Other.
According to the highly-recommended resource book “Prescription for Nutritional Healing” by Phyllis Bach:
“Selenium deficiency has been linked to cancer and heart disease. It has also been associated with exhaustion, growth-impairment, high-cholesterol levels, infections, liver impairment, lower cognitive function, pancreatic insufficiency, and… sterility.”
Also interesting is that Selenium is one of the essential nutrients in the function of our thyroid gland.
