Regardless of your fitness level, it’s extremely important to obtain a healthy balance of different fats. Essential fatty acids (EFAs) from sources such as flaxseed oil can provide tremendous health benefits. EFAs cannot be manufactured by the human body; you can only obtain them through diet or supplementation. EFAs are important because they can actually help lower cholesterol levels and maximize fat burning. Flax provides a rich source of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), and omega-3 fatty acids (essential fatty acid). It is a precursor to eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), both critical to the proper functioning of cellular activity.
