ENERGIZE WITH FRIENDLY FATS
Fat. It’s a word that makes many people cringe when hearing it. For decades, scientists and health care practitioners believed there were simply no redeeming qualities in fat. We now know that certain fats are not bad for you—they are crucial to your health! But what’s the difference, and how much fat do you really need?

Certain saturated fats—like those found in animal products and some vegetable oils (corn and soy) can have negative effects on your health. But healthy fats—called essential omega fatty acids—support many body functions including healthy brain activity, physical development in children, bone health, maintaining ideal body weight, fertility, immune function, healthy skin and hair. These fats are considered “essential” because the body cannot create them and must obtain them from your diet.

SMOOTHIE SECRETS: FATS
Where are essential fats found? EFAs are in a number of foods including fish, coconuts, avocados, olives, nuts and seeds like chia, flax and hemp. In fact, those seeds are some of the best sources of omega fatty acids containing both Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids.

The hemp seed is the only food known to contain a near perfect ratio of Omega 6 fatty acids to Omega 3 fatty acids for the human diet. It’s also an excellent source of plant protein, vitamins, minerals and fiber. It also blends incredibly well and brings a rich, nutritious sweetness to smoothies.
