The North
American diet is almost
completely void of the essential
fatty acid Omega-3. Researchers
believe that at least 60% of
North Americans are presently
deficient in Omega-3 fatty acids
and that children are obtaining
almost no Omega-3. In fact, the
deficiency of Omega-3 in the
North American diet has now been
linked to an extensive list of
health-related problems sited in
over 2,000 scientific studies.
They are considered essential
fatty acids, which means that
they are essential to human
health but cannot be
manufactured by the body.
The
National Institutes of Health
and International Society for
the Study of Fatty Acids and
Lipids (ISSFAL) recommends that
individuals consume at least
220mg daily of DHA (docosahexaenoic
acid), the most important
Omega-3 fatty acids, and that
pregnant and nursing women
consume at least 300mg daily.
For comparison purposes, there
is 100mg of DHA per 1/4 cup of
canned tuna. |

The Xoçai™
Omega Bar™ has a minimum of
200mg of DHA and EPA per 34-gram
bar. The Xoçai™ Omega Bar™ is an
excellent source of Omega-3 and
promotes the necessary balance
of essential fatty acids though
the Açaí Berry, flaxseed and a
patented, plant-based,
encapsulated Omega-3.
It is
important to maintain an
appropriate balance of Omega-3
and Omega-6 in your diet as
these two substances work
together to promote better
health. A healthy diet should
consist of roughly two times
more Omega-6 fatty acids than
Omega-3 fatty acids (2:1).
Many
researchers suggested that the
present excessive levels of
Omega-6 fatty acids, relative to
Omega-3 fatty acids (10:1), in
the North American diet has
created a significant imbalance
and is a major factor in the
rising rate of diseases in the
United States. Omega-9 fatty
acids are not classified as
essential fatty acids, because
they can be created by the human
body from unsaturated fat.
The
Xoçai™ Omega Bar™ has been
developed to provide your body
the essential fatty acids for
preventative and better health
during every stage of your life! |
