Woodland Health Series - Kate Gilbert Udall

Because the typical American diet may not include a sufficient amount of essential fatty acids (EFAs), it is vital that we include sources of these EFAs in our own diet, because the body cannot produce them on its own. Flaxseed oil is an ideal source of omega-3 fatty acids, specifically alpha linoleic acid. Supplementing the diet with omega-3 oils can promote cardiovascular health, help metabolize cholesterol and fats, and combat auto-immune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis. Find out more about the health benefits that flaxseed oil has to offer with this Woodland Health Series booklet.
