This is a great source of Omega oils
Hello - Julie here from Natural Health
I just wanted to let you know about a really great product called Udo Oil which is a fantastic source of high quality Omega 3 and 6 Fatty acid.
We all need good fats...
All of our diets contain fats. They are ingested into our bodies through the foods that we eat and the cooking oils that we use. But they are not always healthy and are often damaged through high levels of processing and the heat from cooking (killing many of the good nutrients contained in the fats/oils).
These fats form the base of the body's fat intake - what we call the "Foundation" fats. But for optimum health we need to ensure our foundation fats are as healthy as possible. Two of the most important healthy fats the body should be getting as part of its foundation are undamaged Alpha Linolenic Acid (ALA) and Linoleic Acid (LA).
These cannot be produced by the body so are termed Essential. Other Fatty Acids like those found in fish oils (DHA and EPA) are not essential as the body is able to produce these if it has enough of the Essential Fatty Acids ALA and LA.
When Dr Udo Erasmus developed his unique oil blend he did so ensuring that it was rich in the 2 EFA's - ALA and LA - as well as including many other ingredients bringing benefits to the body's functioning.
Health benefits
The Omega 3 and 6 EFAs contained in Udo's Choice Ultimate Oil are well know for their heart and brain function benefits but they also have many other great benefits as well...
Skin beauty benefits:
"The best product I’ve found for healthy skin" Gemma Kidd
The essential fatty acids in Udo's Choice Ultimate Oil Blend are a major part of the fight for beautiful skin and hair. By supplying your body with the correct fats - Essential Fatty Acids (EFA's), it allows your skin's cell membranes to hold onto water that would escape if your diet is lacking them.
In this simple action EFAs work as internal moisturisers, giving you beautiful skin from within. At the same time it is observed that hair gains a new lustre, and nails become flexible and strong.
Great for sports too:
Essential Fatty Acids provide your cells with the nutrition they need in order to function properly. Without them they do not operate as well as they could and this can affect overall health, muscle recovery, joint suppleness, energy, stamina and ultimately for the sports enthusiast, athletic performance.
By feeding your cells with Essential Fatty Acids (ALA and LA) you improve your body's core at the cellular level and this leaves you free to achieve the body you want for your particular sport.
Good for weight loss too!
Hang on ...Won't fats make me fat ?!
No..Essential Fatty Acids can actually assist weight loss or if you are looking to build muscle will help you build lean muscle. Working again at the cellular level, Essential Fatty Acids lead to better fat burning and less fat storage.
How do essential fats help burn body fat and make us slim?
- All fats including essential fats suppress appetite
- Unlike carbohydrates, fats keep blood sugar and insulin levels stable, and prevent the high/low blood sugar cycle
- Essential fats improve thyroid function, and normalise metabolic rate and energy levels provided enough iodine is present in the diet
- Omega 3 essential fats decrease inflammation and water retention in tissues (which is a large part of being overweight) and speed the removal of water held in tissues by means of the kidneys
- Omega 3 essential fats improve kidney function, making excess water removal more efficient
- Omega 3 essential fats increase energy production, making it more likely that a person will be physically active. This in turn leads to more calories being burned.
- Omega 3 essential fats elevate mood and lift depression. The better the mood, the less likely people are to eat more calories than they burn, and the more active they tend to be
