Essential Fatty Acids

image of foods with fatty acids.

One component of nutrition that deserves significant attention is essential fatty acids (EFAs). EFAs cannot be produced by the body and therefore must come from the food we eat. They are the main structural components of our cell membranes, and keep our cell walls healthy by allowing nutrients to flow in and toxins to flow out. The three main essential fatty acids are Omega 3, Omega 6 and Omega 9. Most people consume enough Omega 6 and 9 fatty acids in the form of vegetable oils. However, we are often deficit in Omega fatty acids that come from foods such as flax seed, fish and borage oil. Omega 3 fatty acids are known to help with cardiovascular, joint and skin health, and to improve mood. Supplementing daily with an EFA capsule or liquid oil is essential to properly nourish your body.

Reviews By Our Satisfied Patients

  • "I've been deathly afraid of chiropractors since I was in high school and had a bad experience with one. Lillian changed my tune! she is one of the nicest, most caring professionals I have ever dealt with. She is understanding and sensitive to her patients. I highly recommend her!"
  • "I'm super impressed with Dr. Lillian's healing touch and remarkable understanding of the human spine. I've only had 2 adjustments and I can feel the work going on afterwards. Very helpful."
  • "Adjustments with Lillian have been transformative. I love Lillian's gentle approach(she's never jostling me around and twisting my spine like all the other chiropractors I've had in the past). I can't imagine going to see anyone else, Lillian is one of a kind!"
