Essential Fatty Acids

image of foods with fatty acids.

One component of nutrition that deserves significant attention is essential fatty acids (EFAs). EFAs cannot be produced by the body and therefore must come from the food we eat. They are the main structural components of our cell membranes, and keep our cell walls healthy by allowing nutrients to flow in and toxins to flow out. The three main essential fatty acids are Omega 3, Omega 6 and Omega 9. Most people consume enough Omega 6 and 9 fatty acids in the form of vegetable oils. However, we are often deficit in Omega fatty acids that come from foods such as flax seed, fish and borage oil. Omega 3 fatty acids are known to help with cardiovascular, joint and skin health, and to improve mood. Supplementing daily with an EFA capsule or liquid oil is essential to properly nourish your body.

    Dr Prioux is the only chiropractor I’ve ever been to that actually bases the visit on a head to toe assessment. Love this man! He is the best and knows what he is doing! My whole family uses him."

    I’ve had sinus headaches for almost one year. After trying several medications and discussing a possible surgical procedure, I decided to try chiropractic care first. Since I have been going, I haven’t had a single sinus headache! The adjustments are not only helping my back and body, but also my sinus infections and my TMJ. I am hooked! :) I also love the friendly staff and doctors. Great place!"

  • "Dr. Prioux and Dr. Lux are absolutely wonderful! They are caring and explain everything in layman's terms. I have heard of acupuncture works on many levels but had never experienced it personally. After only a few sessions I was a believer. I went in for anxiety and left feeling grounded and calmer. Thank you, Dr. Lucie Lux for your kindness and support."
