Why do we need Essential Fats?
Just as a member of a large family has many roles, essential fats serve many functions in the complex workings of the human body. Taken in the right amounts and ratios, and taken from the right sources, essential fats help establish and maintain health as follows . . .
Increase energy, performance, and stamina. EFAs enhance thermogenesis, help build muscle, prevent muscle break down, and speed recovery from fatigue;
Strengthen the immune system. EFAs make hormone-like eicosanoids that regulate immune and inflammatory responses. N-3s have anti-inflammatory effects and can slow autoimmune damage;
Lower most risk factors for cardiovascular disease. EFAs (especially n3s) lower abnormally high levels of blood pressure, triglycerides, Lp(a), fibrinogen, tendency to clot formation, and inflammation;
Improve brain function: mood, intelligence , behavior, and vision. Our brain is over 60% fat. EFAs are important components of the entire nervous system. They are necessary to make the neurotransmitter serotonin. Depression and other brain diseases show decreased levels of n-3;
Aid in weight reduction. EFAs help keep mood and energy up and suppress appetite, thereby aiding in weight loss. More recently, they have been found to block the genes that produce fat in the body (saturated and Trans Fat do not have this same effect) and increase thermogenesis;
Regulate organs and glands. Liver and kidneys, adrenal and thyroid glands, and the production of male and female hormones need EFAs;
Speed recovery and healing. EFAs are necessary for cell growth and division. They form all cell membranes and regulate vital cell activity;
Support healthy child development. For nervous system development, a growing fetus needs optimum EFAs from the mother's body. Mothers become depleted of EFAs during pregnancy, and need optimal EFA intake for their health and their children's optimum development;
Improve digestion. Poorly digested foods tie up the immune system and can cause gut inflammation, leaky gut, and allergies. N-3s improve gut integrity, and decrease inflammation and "leaky gut";
Decrease infection. EFAs have anti-fungal, anti-yeast, and anti-microbial properties, helping to protect against infections;
Keep bones strong. EFAs aid in the transport of minerals that keep bones and teeth strong, helping to prevent osteoporosis;
Protect genetic material. EFAs regulate gene expression, and n-3s inhibit tumor growth;
Ease PMS. Studies indicate that n-6 (GLA) intake was voted, by women, among the top three most effective PMS treatments. N-3s may be even more effective;
Produce beautiful skin, hair, and nails. Some of the first signs of EFA deficiency are dry, flaky skin, dull hair, and brittle nails. N-3s can help skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and acne. Also, GLA (n-6 derivative) administration is useful for some patients with atopic eczema.
SO girls, those omega 3.6.9 supplements your taking, with flax, borage and fish oil, really are helping your body, and they ARE helping your breasts.
just thought that this was interesting for those hwo aren't sure why it's neccessary for N.B.E.

also E.P.O is an E.F.A, if you want to know more about E.P.O here is a website you can check out,

Many of us have been brought up with the idea that eating fatty foods means a larger waistline, but not all fats are bad fats, in fact some fats are actually very good for you, essential fatty acids (EFAs). The key essential fatty acids are Omega-6 and Omega-3.
Breast cells are sensitive to EFA balance. Many women suffer from painful or lumpy breasts during the pre-menstrual phase of their monthly cycle. Research has shown that women who have an imbalance between prostaglandins develop an unusual heightened sensitivity to estrogen during the pre-menstrual phase of their cycle. This triggers changes in breast cells causing rapid cell growth leading to increased breast size, pain, inflammation and lumpy breast tissue.
The good news is that if you correct the prostaglandin imbalance these monthly PMT symptoms clear quickly. Studies have found that supplementing with the omega-6 fatty acid GLA can quickly desensitise breast cells to this estrogen over sensitivity by balancing body prostaglandins.
