Essential Fatty Acids

image of foods with fatty acids.

One component of nutrition that deserves significant attention is essential fatty acids (EFAs). EFAs cannot be produced by the body and therefore must come from the food we eat. They are the main structural components of our cell membranes, and keep our cell walls healthy by allowing nutrients to flow in and toxins to flow out. The three main essential fatty acids are Omega 3, Omega 6 and Omega 9. Most people consume enough Omega 6 and 9 fatty acids in the form of vegetable oils. However, we are often deficit in Omega fatty acids that come from foods such as flax seed, fish and borage oil. Omega 3 fatty acids are known to help with cardiovascular, joint and skin health, and to improve mood. Supplementing daily with an EFA capsule or liquid oil is essential to properly nourish your body.

Testimonials

Reviews By Our Satisfied Patients

  • "Getting adjusted has stopped the pain going down my leg. It relieves the pain and tension in my back and neck. I sleep, work and play better. I would gladly refer family and friends to Dr. Vickers because I know it works without drugs!"
    Elizabeth M.
  • "I have seen Dr. Vickers progressively for several years. I have more energy and is easier to get out of bed in the morning. My son and friends also get adjusted at Back on Track."
    Joan R.
  • "Dr. Vickers has eased my acute pain and weakness, and by regular visits for preventative adjustments he maintains my nervous system. I believe in the value of chiropractic care by my own experience. I have often referred people, and bring my own 14 and 18 year old sons to get adjusted because I know their health will benefit from it."
