Dr Nina Bailey
Plant-sourced short-chain omega fatty acids are essential fats
which our bodies cannot function without. Maintaining a healthy balance of omega-3 & omega-6 fatty acids is crucial for healthy immune function, maintaining energy levels, keeping inflammation in check, promoting efficient brain function, maintaining a balanced mood and a healthy heart. Dr Nina Bailey usefully describes how these important fats can be sourced through vegetarian and vegan diets, allowing the body to naturally produce those important long-chain omega-3 fats EPA and DHA, for significant health benefits.
