Essential Fatty Acids

    Brain cell membranes are composed of over 80% good fats. They stabilize membranes required for proper brain cells to function. The good oils keep lining of brain cells flexible so that memory and other brain messages can pass easily between cells.

    The link between low levels of omega-3 fatty acids and a variety of mental health conditions is emerging in the literature in the form of attention deficit disorders, depression, bipolar disease, schizophrenia, dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, and mood disorders. Fatty acids are the key fuel source for the brain. It is therefore not surprising that fatty acid imbalances can give rise to neurological imbalances.

If you have answered YES to more than 30% of this list, please ask your health practitioner to measure your Essential Fatty Acid levels.
