	Flaxseed Oil
		Flaxseed oil is one of the best food sources of alpha-linolenic acid (an essential fatty acid) which is important for cell membranes, blood pressure regulation, and other functions in the body.
		The alpha-linolenic acids found in fish oil are easily converted in the body to anti-clotting, anti-inflammatory eicosanoids, whereas the process of converting the fatty acids in flaxseed oil is slow and inefficient, especially if the diet is high in omega-6 linoleic acid (found in polyunsaturated oils and margarines).
		Adding flaxseed oil to a poor diet is unlikely to provide any major health benefits, but adding it to a varied diet rich in plant foods and low in animal fats can be useful.
