How Essential Fatty Acids Improve Your Brain Power and
Mental Health by Rudy Silva
other articles except NKO Krill Oil. This oil is the new kid on the block. It comes from
Antarctic krill, a crustacean found in the Antarctic waters. It provides EPA and DHA like
borage oil does, but its chemical structure is phospholipids. Phospholipids are easier
for your cells to absorb than borage oil's EPA and DHA, which is in the form of
triglycerides.
The essential fatty acids provide the chemical molecules to make Phospholipids.
These phospholipids gather together to form a protective barrier around each cell in
your body.
If the fatty acids are in phospholipids form, your body is able to use them quicker and
more efficiently.
This is what makes NKO oil a more bio-available advanced oil than borage or
primrose oil.
If you are deficient in the essential fatty acids, you will be more susceptible to these
conditions:
* Alzheimer's disease
* Anxiety and body stress
* Heart disease
* Attention deficit disorder
* Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
* Bipolar disorder
* Chronic fatigue syndrome
* Depression
* Learning disorders
* Memory impairment
* Parkinson's disease
* Schizophrenia
Making Your Brain Work Like It Should
Your brain needs a good daily supply of the essential fatty acid omega-3. It also uses
omega-6 and AA (Arachidonic acid). So this means taking a good dose of NKO oil is a
necessary daily routine for keeping your brain from shrinking.
Alzheimer's disease
Doctors believe that if every one lived to be over 120 years, they would come down
with Alzheimer's disease. It is a disease that once your have it, all you can do, at this
time, is to slow its progression using certain drugs and nutrients.
Before your brain starts to deteriorate to where it contains nodules of toxins, excess
oxidation due to free radicals, and weaken and narrowing blood vessels, it might be a
good idea to start feeding it the food it needs.
DHA is in order for Alzheimer's disease. When DHA is deficient in your diet, you can
expect to have memory loss and become depressed as you age.
Lecithin is also in order since it helps to provide choline, a precursor to the memory
neurotransmitter acetylcholine. It also provides the chemicals to produce RNA.
Heart disease is closely related to Alzheimer's because the heart must be strong
enough to pump plenty of blood into the brain and the arteries must open enough to
circulate enough blood through the brain and throughout your body.
Even if you don't come down with Alzheimer's or your family history doesn't support
it, most of us are in line for dementia. Dementia is also attributed to deterioration of
brain cells and support tissue. One of the causes of dementia is a diet that has been
deficient in the essential fatty acids.
Here is my recommendation for supplementing with the essential fatty acids:
* Eat more good fish, at least once a week and occasionally twice a week
* Eat less fat and particularly saturated fat. A good number for daily fat intake is
15-20% of your overall calories.
* Take daily, flax seed oil and olive oil for the omega-3 and omega-6 oils
* Take a daily supplement of NKO or Borage oil, which supplies EPA and DHA

What is your brain made of?
Over 50% of your brain is made
of good fat. Twenty percent of
this good fat comes from EPA
and DHA. Remember EPA and
DHA comes from,
* omega-3 fatty acids
* eating fish
* borage oil
* primrose oil
* parilla oil
* NKO oil
