THE ABC'S OF ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS (EFAs)

Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) are necessary fats that the body cannot synthesize, and must be obtained through diet. There are two families of EFAs: Omega-3 and Omega-6. These are considered polyunsaturated fats. Omega-9 is also necessary yet "non-essential" because the body can manufacture a modest amount on its own, provided other essential EFAs are present. Omega-3 fatty acids are derived from Linolenic Acid, Omega-6 from Linoleic Acid, and Omega-9 from Oleic Acid.

EFAs support the cardiovascular, reproductive, immune, and nervous systems. The human body needs EFAs to manufacture and repair cell membranes, enabling the cells to obtain optimum nutrition and expel harmful waste products. A primary function of EFAs is the production of prostaglandins, which regulate body functions such as heart rate, blood pressure, blood clotting, fertility, conception, and play a role in immune function by regulating inflammation and encouraging the body to fight infection.

Unfortunately, EFA deficiency is common in the United States, particularly Omega-3 deficiency. For adults, the minimum healthy intake of Omega-3 and Omega-6 is 1.5 grams of each, per day. Typical Western diets tend to be low in Omega-3, therefore it is important to get a sufficient amount through food sources or supplements.

Omega-3 (Alpha-Linolenic Acid)

* Omega-3s are found in: cold-water fish oils, flax seeds & flax seed oil, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, brazil nuts, salmon and other fish, avocados, canola oil, and some leafy green vegetables.

* Omega-3s are used in the formation of cell walls, making them supple and flexible, and improving circulation and oxygen uptake with proper red blood cell flexibility and function.

Omega-6 (Linolic Acid)

* Omega-6s are found in: flax seeds & flax seed oil, grape seed oil, acai, pumpkin seeds, pine nuts, sunflower seeds, olives & olive oil, and some fruits and vegetables.
 
* Although most Americans obtain an excess of Omega-6 (Linoleic Acid), often it is not converted properly in the body because of metabolic problems caused by diets rich in sugar, alcohol, or trans fats from processed foods, as well as, smoking, pollution, stress, aging, viral infections, and other illnesses.

Q & A: ASK OUR EXPERTS

Q: CAN EATING FAT PREVENT INJURIES?
A. Even though you may be limiting your fat intake to reach your physique goals, your body needs fat to stay healthy. An ultra-low-fat diet may increase your chances of getting injured - especially if you run a minimum of 20 miles a week. A recent study out of the University at Buffalo (New York) found that women who followed a low fat diet (less than 27% of calories from fat) had MORE lower body injuries. In addition, the researchers discovered that fat intake was the best dietary predictor, correctly identifying 64% of future injuries. Moral of the story... Its okay to eat fats, but pick your fats wisely. Reach for unsaturated fats and essential fatty acid sources, like olive oil, nuts, and sushi!

Q. YOU'RE EATING POULTRY: IS WHITE MEAT BETTER THAN DARK MEAT?
A. What gives the dark meat of chicken and turkey its color is higher amounts of myoglobin. Myoglobin provides oxygen to working muscles. Chickens and turkeys tend to walk, not fly long distances, so their leg or thigh meat, is saturated with myoglobin while their breast meat and wing meats tend to be paler in color due to lower levels of myoglobin. Compared to white meat, dark meat has only a few more calories and only an extra 2 grams of fat per 3 ounce serving. In addition, it has some B vitamins, muscle building proteins, plus more zinc and iron than white meat. So go ahead, have the dark meat... Its just as good if not better than white meat, just leave the skin behind.
