About Essential Balance
You’ve
heard it lime and time again, “cut down on fat”. It is wrong to assume you must stop eating all
fats, for not all of them are bad for you. Your body actually needs certain
fats to maintain good health. The major components of all fats are called
fatty acids (FAs). Two of these, omega-3 and omega-6 essential fatty
acids (EFAs), function as necessary building blocks for every cell
membrane in your body. Omega-3
and omega-6 EFAs also produce a vitally important class of hormones called
“prostaglandins”. These help regulate cholesterol levels, energy
production, a healthy immune system and also improve dry skin, which is
caused by a dietary shortage of quality EFAs.
Food in Evolution: Evolution of
Food
Prior
to 150 years ago, for thousands of years the human diet was made up of a
natural selection of foods, which provided an equal 1:1 balance of
omega-6 to omega-3. When this essential balance was present in the diet,
there was little evidence of chronic diseases.
Your
body uses EFAs to construct brain and nervous tissue. The human brain has this 1:1 ratio of omega-6 to amega-3 EFAs,
which distinguishes it from the brains of other species.
Today's
average North American diet is much higher in omega-6.
The 1:1 omega-6 to omega-3 ratio has shifted dangerously to 20-25:1.
Research shows a deficiency of either EFA in the diet or a chronic
imbalance can result in deteriorating health.
Progress and EFA Imbalance
Omega-3
EFA is acutely deficient in today’s North American diet.
Modern agricultural practices have depleted much of the soil of its
naturally occurring nutrients and no longer produce crops and grains
containing essential omega-3. Today’s
feedlot beef, poultry and pork are much lower in this EFA compared to wild
game. Most people think of fish
as a rich source of omega-3, yet the farmed fish you buy in many
supermarkets are pellet fed and have much lower omega-3 levels than wild
ocean fish. The richest sources
of omega-3 are fax seed and certain wild ocean fish.
Possibly
the most serious effect to declining health in recent years has been mass
consumption of foods laden with refined and hydrogenated omega-6 vegetable
oils. The refining process,
designed to delay rancidity, exposes oils to extreme temperatures, chemicals
and bleaches. The result? Odourless,
colourless and bland tasting oils whose vital nutrients are destroyed.
Hydrogenation,
which makes oils solid and easier to use in food processing and cooking,
distorts omega-3 and omega-6 and turns them into harmful trans fatty
acids (TFAs). The
consumption of TFAs has many severe health drawbacks, including heart
disease. TFAs also lower the
“good”, cholesterol level in your body.
Many products, such as margarines, shortening, snack foods, baked
goods and dressings contain TFAs.
Today’s
modern lifestyle further contributes to low amounts of omega-3 in our
bodies. Omega-3 is easily depleted by caffeine and alcohol consumption,
increased use of drugs and pharmaceuticals, smoking, chemical exposure, air
pollution and stressful lifestyles. Therefore,
adequate dietary intake of omega-3 is essential.
Return to Balance
Omega
Nutrition, the Forerunner in EFA Nutrition...
By
the mid 1980's, Omega Nutrition recognized the omega-3 deficiency
present in our modern diet. In
1987 they were the first company to bring unrefined, certified Flax Seed Oil
to the North American market. Further
extensive research into the 1:1 ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 led to the
introduction of Essential Balance’s to doctors in 1990.
Essential Balance’s proven organic formula is now available
to you at natural food stores.
Omega
Nutrition's Essential Balance makes the return to balance convenient for you.
Essential Balance is the only organic oil blend of its
type on the market. It is a
nutritious combination of unrefined, omegaflo© Flax Seed, Sunflower, Sesame, Pumpkin and Borage Oils.
Together these organic oils taste uniquely rich and nutty.
Essential Balance is ideal for children, young people, adults,
seniors and pregnant or lactating women – in short, everybody.
Each
bottle of Essential Balance contains a healthy, unhydrogenated and
unrefined 1:1 ratio of omega-6 to omega-3.
This special blend also offers gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), a
derivative of omega-6.
The Omega Quality
To
protect the extremely delicate EFAs, we fresh press raw seeds and
nuts at low temperatures between –30 and –37 degrees Celsius / -86 and
–99 degrees Fahrenheit. Our
unique omegaflo© process ensures oil is not
exposed to light, extreme heat or oxygen.
No artificial additives, preservatives, bleaching or deodorizing
agents, hexane or chemicals are used or added.
Our oil is completely unrefined and unhydrogenated, thus free of TFAs.
All
Omega Nutrition oils are very delicate and require complete
protection from heat, light and oxygen, even after careful low temperature
pressing. Exposure to light and
oxygen causes a catalytic breakdown, which leads to rancidity and free
radical formation.
Light
causes the most damage to unrefined oils. Glass bottles permit the passage
of light - even brown glass is insufficient protection. Metal containers do block out light but the metal itself
leads to the breakdown of oil. The
special opaque containers used by Omega Nutrition are capable
of preventing transmission of light while being 100% non-reactive with oil.
In addition, we flush each bottle with inert gas during bottling to
create an oxygen-free environment.
