Oils and fats! The very words send shivers down our spine as we conjure up images of dripping hot chips and clogged arteries. So nasty is the reputation of this food group that an important family of health enhancing fats are often misunderstood or overlooked.
Let us introduce you to some wonderful new allies - Essential Fatty Acids (EFA's). They may be essential, yet our body cannot produce them naturally. We can only obtain EFA's from the food we eat, as an 'essential' part of our diet.
Fantastic Flax
Flax oil (or flaxseed oil or linseed oil) is one of the world’s richest source of Omega 3 and Omega 6, also termed as essential fatty acids (EFA’s). The oil is cold pressed from flax seeds and is a delicious culinary health oil.
Why do I need flax oil and essential fatty acids (EFA’s)?
Many diets are deficient in EFA’s , and these fats are necessary for the body to perform proper functions. Independently certified organic New Zealand GE Free FLAXOMEGA Flax oil provides EFA’s such as omega 3,6 and 9 often lacking in the typical diet. The omega fats are essential as they maintain healthy cell membranes. They also help your body’s normal production of hormones including those that regulate women’s menstrual cycle, menopausal symptoms and even men’s and women’s sex drive.
Modern diets are high in saturated (bad) fats and low in polyunsaturated (good) fats. Flax oil is a super polyunsaturated fat, known to aid normal lubrication of joints in addition to helping your hair, nails and skin in beautiful condition. Flax oil also helps the balance of ‘good and bad fats’, vital for maintaining heart, blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
When quality counts
FLAXOMEGA Flax oil is stored in dark containers to prevent oxidation and UV damage and to retain the freshness and purity of this cold pressed oil.
The cold pressing system provides Extra Virgin Flax Oil, pressed at low temperatures (30-33C) in the absence of solvents, light, oxygen and reactive metals to ensure maximum nutritional quality. The Flax oil is produced in small batches to maintain peak freshness.
Looking after cold pressed flax oil
Never heat or fry flax oil, as it will spoil due to its fragility. Added Vitamin C and E provide antioxidant protection. However once opened, keep refrigerated and consume within 3 months.
