Essential vs Non Essential Fat

Here’s an interesting thing: even if we don’t eat any fat sources, our body can still make its own fat by using other macronutrients. But this usually doesn’t happen because even if you don’t eat fat in visible form, such as ghee or oil, you still get fat in invisible form from

• Nuts
• Seeds
• Dairy
• Eggs, etc.

However, some fatty acids are essential, which means you have to get them from your diet. These include omega-3 and omega-6, which are polyunsaturated fats.

Omega-6 is found in most oils, nuts, and seeds. However, there are fewer sources of omega-3, such as fish in animals and

• Flax
• Chia
• Walnuts or
• Algae oil in plants. 

Omega-3 has an important role, such as:-

• Reducing cardiovascular risk
• Improving bone
• Brain and
• Vision health and much more.

So, the practical takeaway here is: omega 6, you can manage easily and even though omega 3 is really important for overall health but, before you run to the market to buy omega-3 supplement from the market, first set a good foundation for your overall health with proper nutrition and activity.

Then, you can start incorporating omega-3 into your diet.
