The well-known omega-3 and Omega-6, also known as “essential fatty acids or EFAS,” are the most popular forms of polyunsaturated fats, which are essential for proper brain functioning, healthy levels of hormones and nerve activity in the body. Polyunsaturated fats promote cardiovascular health by lowering LDL (bad) cholesterol by raising HDL (good).


Scientists at the American Society for Clinical Investigation and the Department of Clinical Sciences in Sweden recommend the consumption of omega-3 fatty acids in the fat content of cold-water fish (salmon, mackerel, herring), the supplements of fish oil plant (grape seed, flax, hemp), nuts and seeds such as sunflowers, poppies, Chile.
