Essential fatty acids play a role in every life process in our body. Life without them is impossible. Like vitamins and minerals, EFAs are essential to health for many reasons: we must have them to live and to be healthy; our bodies cannot make them from other substances; we must obtain an adequate supply from external sources; from food and from supplements; deficiency results in the deterioration of cells and tissues, and ultimately in death.
The definition of "essentiality" reflects the fact that essential nutrients perform key functions in our cells and tissues that the body cannot live without. EFAs play their "essential" roles by helping to form the membrane barrier that surrounds our cells and intracellular factories (organelles); determining fluidity and chemical reactivity of membranes; increasing the body's oxidation rate, metabolic rate, and energy levels; serving as starting material for hormone-like regulating molecules (prostaglandins) that govern cell activities on a moment to moment basis. |
