There are 4 forms of fats:

1. Saturated fats (Solid at room temperature)

These are obtained from fatty cuts of red meat and high-fat dairy products such as cheddar cheese, butter and ice cream. These fats are not nutrients but can be used by the body to make energy. Limit intake.

2. Monounsaturated fats (Liquid at room temperature but cloudy in a refrigerator)

These can be obtained from olive oil, avocado, or selected nuts (especially almonds). They help to lower insulin response to carbohydrate intake. Regular intake in small amounts.

3. Trans Fatty Acids

These are artificial fats found in margarine and other partially hydrogenated oils that are used in many modern processed foods.
These fats are associated with increased heart disease. Avoid intake.

4. Polyunsaturated fats (Liquid – even in a refrigerator)

There are two types of these essential fatty acids:
• Omega 3 (Alpha-linolenic acid)
• Omega 6 (Linoleic acid) Omega 3 and Omega 6 are used by the body to manufacture hormones called eicosanoids (e.g prostaglandins, thromboxanes, and leukotrienes) that are the keys that ultimately control human health.

OMEGA 3 (EPA / DHA) is essential for:

• Proper brain function, good vision, learning ability, co-ordination, and mood.
• Reducing stickiness of blood, controlling blood cholesterol and fat levels.
• Improving immune function and metabolism.
• Reducing inflammation.
• Maintaining water balance.

Symptoms of Essential Fatty Acid deficiency may include:

Dry skin, inflammatory health problems, water retention, high blood pressure or triglycerides, infections, poor memory and learning problems, lack of co-ordination, impaired vision, and poor growth in children.


NOTES:

• Pregnant and breastfeeding women must ensure adequate intake of Omega 3 (DHA/EPA) for optimum brain / nerve function in their babies.
• Use the Annique MULTIwonders to provide Vitamins and Minerals to enhance the production of eicosanoids.
• Avoid refined carbohydrate intake to control insulin levels so the eicosanoid balance can be correctly maintained.
• Aspirin and corticosteroids, such as cortisone and prednisone, when used for more thirty (30) days may knock out all eicosanoid production and lead to a weakened immune system.
