Fantastic Fat (yes, that’s what we said)

The word fat has gotten a bad rap over the years.  The negative connotations of the word are numerous and people feel as though it is something to be avoided at all costs when practicing a healthy lifestyle.  There is one type of fat however; that it is not just good for you, but your body and brain actually needs it to function properly.  A recent medical journal states that Omega-3 fatty acids are critical for both structure and function of the brain. *

The reason this particular form of fatty acid is so healthy, is that the cell membranes in the brain are made almost entirely of fats including Omega-3 fatty acids.  Adding these fatty acids to your diet supports these cell membranes and enhances their performance.  Increase of Omega-3 fatty acids in diet has shown to help with depression, anger and aggression, ADHD, and even Alzheimer’s.

Not only does Omega-3 do the brain good, it can also help to lower triglycerides and unhealthy fats in the blood stream, and ease the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis.  All of these great benefits make a compelling case that there are some positive things to be said for certain kinds of fat.

Solle Naturals SolleMegas are a fantastic source of healthy Omega-3 fatty acids.  Try adding them to your healthy daily routine for improved brain function and other health benefits.  You can tell everyone that you need your daily dose of fat to keep you feeling great.
