How to obtain good Omega-6 essential fat
Our body can NOT make EFAs, so we have to include them in our diet
Omega-6 fatty acids are plentiful in our diet, but we need to obtain them from a good source – much of the available omega-6 currently comes from refined seed oils and processed foods using them, which contain toxic fatty acids.
Some good omega-6 food sources
FRESH, RAW, ORGANIC nuts and seeds. From online or good health food stores; pine nuts, pecans, walnuts and sunflower, pumpkin, and sesame seeds are excellent additions to a salad
- Legumes, wheat germ, lean meat
- Siberian pine nut oil – a good dressing oil for your table.
- Avocadoes and their oil – cold-pressed (unrefined) avocado oil is this author’s preferred oil for making salad dressing.
