A private day nursery for the under fives in Devon has started to introduce Omega Oils into the children’s diets after research proved that it can help children’s concentration, and general health. Little One’s Nursery based in Exeter has started to use The Groovy Food Company’s recently launched seed oil, which can be added to the children’s food during the day. Cool Oil is a natural seed oil blend of flax, hemp, pumpkin and evening primrose oils.  It’s mixed to give a 2:1:1 ratio of omega 3, 6 and 9 which is considered the optimum ratio for the bodies needs.  They are good essential fatty acids, the one’s our diet often lacks but our bodies crave.

The Groovy Food Company is the creation of Rosie and Guy Hayward.  Rosie was working as a conservation officer when her increasingly painful back problem was diagnosed as Ankylosing Spondylitis.  At 27 she found that medication wasn’t touching her symptoms, and after several stays in hospital she was also diagnosed with Reiters Syndrome, which is an auto immune condition causing inflammation in different parts of the body.

Rosie started to take seed oil after reading about the benefits and within six weeks she started to see improvements, not just in her joints but in her skin and hair condition and energy levels too.  She hasn’t had a bad attack since 2001 and from this turn around in her life she decided to start producing seed oil.
