The UK government has proposed to spend 300 million pounds on children and adolescents with mental health problems. How much of this will go into educating people about basic nutrition remains a mystery. If the government knew about essential fatty acids (EFA's), basic supplementation and the toxic overload we have already discussed, the money could be spent on things such as setting up healthy canteens at schools, or even employing nutritionists to teach children nutrition and healthy food preparation. Since writing this Jamie Oliver has done something towards this. Check out the website www.feedmebetter.com.

Essential fatty acids are vital in childrens growth. They provide a plethora of nutrition and brain support that exceeds all other foods. Alpha-linolenic acid (Omega 3) and linoleic acid (Omega 6) are the two fats that form two of the 50 essential nutrients our body needs. The rarer and most important oil, Omega 3, can mainly be found in oily fish, flax seeds and other seeds and nuts. Omega 6 is found in good quality vegetable oil, nuts and seeds.

Fish oils are the easiest fats to be absorbed by the body and are able to get into the cells to perform their many functions. There are literally hundreds of conditions that omega 3 fish oils help with. These include depression, arthritis, learning disorders, multiple sclerosis, obesity, some mental disorders, skin problems, eyesight. The list goes on.
