Did you know The Porcupine Mountains, located in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, are one of the largest wilderness areas in the Midwest of the United States. Known as the “Porkies,” this region features dense forests, rugged cliffs, waterfalls, and scenic views along Lake Superior. The area is protected as Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park, offering extensive hiking trails, opportunities for camping, wildlife observation, and outdoor recreation year-round. It is especially popular in autumn for its vibrant fall colors and in winter for snow-based activities.

Omega 3 Essential Fatty Acids ~ Why You Require Them In Your Diet

Why are Omega 3 fatty acids such an important part of a healthy diet?
To begin with, they are a very necessary nutritive component that your body requires in order to function properly, and in the following paragraphs I would like to explain the importance as well as their availability.
Your mental competence depends on it!
Since the brain requires a tremendous amount of cholesterol to function at an optimal level, these fatty acids also help with cognitive function and mental health such as depression. In fact, the highest amount of cholesterol in the body can be found in your brain!
Cholesterol and triglyceride levels can also be positively influenced with essential fatty acids as they help to inhibit the synthesis of very low density lipids (VLDL) in the liver.
Essential fatty acids can also help with inflammation and immune function by regulating responses in your body at a cellular level.
There are many sources from which they can be obtained, but today I suspect that I might have a surprise for you!
Essential fatty acids can be found in marine sources such as those found in fatty fish. Examples of this would be salmon, mackerel, anchovies and sardines. A supplemental form containing fish oil is also an option as well.
Omega 3’s can also be obtained in the form of chia seeds, h**p hearts or flax meal.
Some fruits may also contain a moderate amount, however these fruits should be an adjunct to other sources. Kiwi, papaya and avocados are such examples.
Now for my surprise…
You most likely have one of the richest sources growing right under your feet in your own yard without even knowing it! In fact, most people treat this as a pesky w**d yet the mighty little purslane plant that grows between the cracks in your walkway is a genuine goldmine of nutrition, and one of the greatest benefits is the high content of Omega 3 Fatty Acids!
Purslane in fact is one of the most nutrient dense plants available because it is also rich in other vitamins and minerals too.
Once picked and washed purslane can be consumed in a number of ways. It can be used in salads, sautéed like spinach and you may also add it in to smoothies and other foods.
For some, foraging has become a way of life yet for many we have become conditioned to be reliant on foods that come in a bag or a box and is bought in a store. Most of these foods contain little to no actual nutrition, and barely any of the essential elements that your body was designed to thrive on.

The small intestine, measuring about 20 feet in length, plays a crucial role in nutrient absorption and digestion. Its extensive surface area, created by folds and villi, maximizes the body's ability to extract essential nutrients from food, highlighting the importance of digestive health.
