Proper nutrition is a critical component of good health

 
 


Myth: All fats are bad...... WRONG!
Modern research is beginning to re-evaluate the importance of fats in our diets. We now know that most American's are extremely deficient in Omega 3's and have an over abundance of Omega 6's in their diets. This is attributed to an increase in highly processed foods which have been stripped of the naturally occurring fats and nutrients and a decrease in consumption of fresh fish and green leafy vegetables in the diet.

Myth: Eating any fats will make me fat.
Fact: Only if you eat the wrong ones or do so in excess.
Does that mean you should deep fry your meals in lard everyday? No.
What it does mean is that it is much healthier for you to consume a few extra calories via a small pat of real butter and sour cream on your baked potato than to slather it in margarine and fat free substitute.

So what is a good fat?

Omega 3 fatty acid (alpha-linolenic acid) is crucial to maintaining human health. The body takes ALA and breaks it down into two essential fatty acids called EPA and DHA. Because our bodies cannot synthesize them,  the only way to get Omega 3's is through food sources.
Preferably, whole food sources such as fatty fish, raw olive and canola oils and MILA.

Our approach to nutritional health incorporates the use of whole food sources and supplements which include whole raw foods, such as found in Standard Process supplements and MILA.
