Essential Fats

What are essential fats?

Despite the fact that fats have been continuously demonised as bad for wellness and looks, this is a myth. What is true is that not all fats are equal and some should really be avoided. However, that’s not the case for essential fatty acids (EFAs) that are crucial for overall well-being. With all their importance, EFAs are not synthesised by the human organism, which is why they should be consumed with food or supplements.

Why are essential fats important?

Essential fats perform a range of complex functions like promoting absorption of nutrients, ensuring healthy cells growth and keeping balance between ‘good’ and ‘bad’ fats. These, as well as other functions, may promote the proper work of:

  • “The engine” and blood vessels
  • Immune system
  • Brain
  • Hormones
  • Muscular-skeletal apparatus

Insufficient intake of essential fatty acids can lead to dry rash, slow wound healing, frequent infections as well as insufficient growth in infants and children. For this reason, including natural sources of EFAs into your diet or taking relevant supplements is one of the key factors to wellness and vitality.

Food sources of EFAs include fatty types of fish (like salmon, mackerel or herring), nuts, seeds and plant oils. However, you may want to choose supplements as a ready-made balanced solution, that doesn’t require any planning and saves time.

At Zumub you can find options for diets with special needs including keto and vegetarian as well as supplements of various forms and flavours. Use our handy filter, make your order and remember that we are here for you along every step.
