Part 2: “Good Fat” Supplements

A couple days ago, we discussed how we can get good fat~Omega 3, 6 & 9s from different foods.  Today, we’ll look at some of my favorite “good fat” supplements that also provide these essential fatty acids.  The 2 that I take every day are: Flax Seed Oil and Evening Primrose Oil.

These 2 supplements are in a gel capsule that easily breaks down in the body.  Flax seed contains all 3 Omegas: 3, 6, & 9s.  Omega 9 oil has been associated with lower rates of breast cancer and heart disease.  Flax Seed oil also contains twice the amount of Omega 3s found in fish oils.

Here are some more benefits to taking Flax Seed Oil:

  • Increases metabolic rate
  • Reduced effects of harmful fatty acids
  • Increase in energy
  • Increase in stamina and muscle fatigue recovery
  • Reduced inflammation
  • Decrease in water retention
  • Improvement in PMS and arthritis symptoms
  • Assists in oxygen transfer from the lungs to the blood & tissues

With the help of Evening Primrose Oil (source of Omega 6 fatty acids), we can complete the daily regimen of consuming all 3 Omegas.  The Evening Primrose oil is extracted from the Evening Primrose plant, a wildflower found in North America, Europe and parts of Asia.  The seeds bear the essential fatty oil that is used in healing today.  The Native Americans used this plant and its root to treat: hemorrhoids, stomachaches, sore throat and bruises.
