UNSATURATED FAT – Under Unsaturated fats there are mainly three unsaturated fat categories are important to be considered which is known as Omega-3 unsaturated fatty acid, Omega-6 unsaturated fatty acid and Omega-9 unsaturated non-essential fatty acid. Obtaining these essential fats from out diet is extremely significant because our body cannot produce such fats itself though non fatty acid means that our body is capable of producing such non essential fats and can store it for longer duration.
Omega -3 fats are generally available in fish, and cod liver oil the best part about this fat is that it can be used both internally and externally. It tremendously helps healing dryness, skin inflammation and itching. Coming to the omega-6 fats it is again very vital fat for our body, improvement in blood circulation and its properties.
