What are the Treatment Options for EFA Deficiency?
Treatment involves addressing the underlying cause and replenishing EFAs through: - Dietary modifications: Increasing the intake of EFA-rich foods such as fatty fish (salmon, mackerel), flaxseeds, chia seeds, and walnuts. - Supplementation: Omega-3 and omega-6 supplements can be given in the form of fish oil or plant-based oils. - Management of underlying conditions: Treating any absorption or metabolic disorders that may be contributing to the deficiency.
