The Truth
About Fat
Most people think that avoiding all fat is the path to true
health, but in reality there are two substances that can only be found in fat
that are just as necessary to our survival as proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins
and minerals. Of the many kinds of fats, only the ones called Omega 3 and 6 have
been designated as essential fatty acids (EFAs) by scientists, because every
living cell in the body needs these fats, but the body can't make them on its
own. A direct food source is always required.
The key to health from fats lies in ingesting the essential
ones in the proper ratio. This isn't usually achieved as it has been shown that
the average diet is far too high in omega 6 and dangerously low in omega 3.
Another concern we face when choosing a source of EFAs is that the majority of
oils found on grocery store shelves have been damaged by heat, light and oxygen
and modern processing practices. These oils may no longer provide healthful EFAs
and may even be harmful.
Udo's Choice® Ultimate Oil Blend® - Made with Health in Mind
Udo's Choice®
Ultimate Oil Blend® is a special blend of carefully chosen, natural, unrefined,
EFA-rich oils that has a pleasant, nutty, buttery taste. It contains oils from
fresh, certified organic flax, sesame, sunflower and evening primrose seeds as
well as oils from rice and oat germ, providing 'minor' ingredients with major
health benefits. This oil blend has added non-GMO soy lecithin, which improves
oil digestion and provides the building materials for healthy cell membranes.
Ultimate Oil Blend also contains medium chain triglycerides, which are easy to
digest and assimilate and can be used directly by our cells as a source of
energy without increasing fat deposits.
Ultimate Oil
Blend is pressed and filtered in a state-of-the-art, low heat, light and
oxygen-free environment to maximize stability and provide nutritional value and
freshness. Nitrogen purged, amber glass bottles are filled with the oil blend
and then nitrogen flushed to eliminate oxygen. The bottles are then capped and
packed in a box to further protect the ingredients and ensure the highest
possible quality. It is kept refrigerated in storage and ice packed when in
transit when the weather dictates to keep the heat sensitive EFAs fresh.
Supplementation with EFAs Improves
Athletic Performance and Fitness Levels
Research shows
that EFAs can improve various biochemical and physiological reactions in the
body and enhance athletic performance. When present in adequate and balanced
amounts EFAs will:
• Improve stamina and endurance
• Decrease recovery time and inflammation after exercise and competition and
speed the healing of injuries
• Improve protein and amino acid utilization to help build and maintain lean
mass
• Decrease fat storage and production and increase metabolic rate
• Improve oxygen uptake and utilization
• Optimize glandular function
• Decrease arthritic joint pain and strengthen bones
• Improve circulation and immune function
• Promote sleep and elevate mood
• Heighten reflexes and concentration
