Udo's Choice Ultimate Oil Blend: Good fats still important in summer (NC)-With so much low fat hype, people have a tendency to believe all fats are bad. A closer look reveals that some fats are so important to our health that they're actually called essential. Essential Fatty Acids or EFA's are necessary for good health and proper levels need to be maintained. Summer is a time when we think lean and light for meals - but we can't forget about EFA's. Science shows us that people who regularly consume adequate amounts of EFA's will enjoy the benefits of more energy, stamina, concentration, better mood and healthier skin. Just what we need for the summer! Ironically, EFA's also help the body to burn off excess fat by turning up our fat burning ability. EFA's also act as anti-inflammitories and this can relieve other stressors on our overall health. EFA's come in several types called omega fats: omega 3, omega 6, for example, and these must be balanced in the correct ratio for optimum health benefit. Renowned EFA expert Udo Erasmus developed a product that takes out the guess work and confusion that many people experience around EFA's while maximizing good taste. This blend, consisting of organic sunflower, flax and sesame oil, has a pleasant, nutty, buttery taste. The easiest way to consume EFA's in the summer is to use them as salad dressings. Here is a simple vinaigrette to get you started: Vinaigrette: 1 Tbsp. Red wine vinegar (15ml) 4 Tbsp. Udo's Oil Blend (60ml) 1 Tsp. Dijon mustard (5ml) 2 Tsp. Liquid honey 10ml salt & pepper to taste Look for Udo's Ultimate Oil Blend at your natural product retailer or call Flora at 1-888-436-6697. - News Canada Find 1000's of Nutritional Supplements at HouseofNutrition
