Q: What are Polyunsaturated Fats?
A: Polyunsaturated fats (poly means many) contain large amounts of polyunsaturated fatty acids and can be found in most nuts, corn, seed and vegetable oils. Polyunsaturated fats include two highly important essential fatty acids – linolenic (omega-3) and linoleic (omega-6), which cannot be produced by your body and must be obtained from your daily eating plan.
* Linolenic (Omega-3)
May benefit your cardiovascular system and also act as an integral part of your immune system.
* Linoleic (Omega-6)
Important component of cell membranes, particularly nerves and blood cells.
