 WE are constantly reminded to cut the fats out of our diet. Although this may sound like a wise choice, it is easy to lose track of the importance of a fat called the essential fatty acids.

Essential fatty acids not only help us attain and maintain optimal health, they have been scientifically validated to benefit many ailments which decrease our quality of life. Omega-6 fatty acids have a role in many body mechanisms.
`Active' versus `inactive' form Linoleic acid is the omega-6 fatty acid found in nuts, seeds and most vegetable oils. It is inactive and needs to be converted to gamma- linolenic acids (GLA), the active form of omega-6 fatty acids, before it can perform its functions. Evening primrose oil, however, is rich in the already formed GLA. Hence, it can help in the synthesis of prostaglandins E1 series important for the regulation of many bodily processes, such as inflammation and pain.

GLA and evening primrose oil
GLA is anti-inflammatory. Studies have proved the ability of GLA to suppress inflammation in patients with different types of inflammation, such as arthritis. A study done at the University of Massachusetts Medical
Centre, the US, showed that GLA consistently improved symptoms of stiffness, joint pain and swelling. It was also noted that with GLA supplementation, the dependence on arthritis medication was greatly reduced. |
