Nutrition Tip: 80% of Americans are deficient in Omega-3 Fatty Acids. This is an essential nutrient that your body cannot produce and you must get it from food or a supplement. Omega-3 Fatty Acids are the building blocks to many of your hormones and they also decrease your risk of heart disease and are used in the lining of all of your cells. Omega-3 Fatty Acid deficiency increases your risk of many brain disorders including ADD and Dementia (Alzheimer's)
