Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Omega-3 fatty acids are polyunsaturated fats that are considered essential for the human body. Unfortunately, humans cannot independently produce these vital fats. Omega-3s must be secured from food sources.

Amazing Omega-3 Fatty Acids
The primary omega-3 fatty acids are eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexanoic acid (DHA). Both EPA and DHA are found in particularly high concentrations in cold water fish such as salmon, tuna, and mackerel. A third type of omega-3, alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), is found in dark, leafy vegetables and flaxseed oil. Although ALA has different effects on the body than EPA and DHA, all three types are important.

Omega-3 fatty acids are extremely beneficial to heart health. They have been shown to help keep cholesterol levels low, stabilize an irregular heart rhythm, and reduce blood pressure. Additionally, researchers believe omega-3s aid in keeping blood vessels healthy and in thinning the blood. Omega-3s are also believed to be effective in treating the symptoms of conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, Raynaud's disease, and depression. Furthermore, studies suggest omega-3 fatty acids aid in the prevention and treatment of cancer.

Since many find it challenging to consume beneficial amounts of omega-3 fatty acids from food sources, health-conscious individuals often choose to take fish oil supplements.
