Essential fatty acids are necessary fats that the body cannot synthesize, and must be obtained through diet. Omega-3 and Omega-6 are two families of EFAs. They are important for proper organ function, cell activity, blood circulation, and a healthy nervous system. EFA deficiency, especially Omega-3 deficiency, is fairly common and linked with a variety of serious diseases and health conditions. Foods that are rich in EFAs include fish, nuts, and seeds so finding ways to include more of these in your diet can certainly improve your health and reduce your risk of disease.
