All About Essential Fatty Acids

Essential Fatty acids are those fatty acids that your body needs, yet cannot synthesize itself. Fatty acids are the building blocks of fats. Although fat has a bad reputation for being unhealthy, some are beneficial. And, cutting all fat from your diet may actually be harmful to your health.
The essential fatty acids are important in many metabolic processes, including energy production. Since our bodies cannot make them, they must be consumed in the diet to optimize health. The essential fatty acids are the omega-3 (linoleic) and omega-6 (linolenic) fatty acids. These Glyconutrients can create healthy bodies.
