What are the neurological benefits of taking fatty acids?
A Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids are crucial for maintaining the correct structure of the membrane of every cell in the body, forming part of the phospholipid layer. Phospholipids are responsible for the smooth messaging signals between neurons in the brain. Deficiencies of fatty acids can therefore lead to problems with cell signalling and hence brain function. Given that the brain controls every function in the body via a network of complex electrical circuitry, the efficacy of messaging between cells is vital to health. Impairment of brain activity may occur as a result of a deficiency of fatty acids in the phospholipid layer.
