Omega 3

Description

The health benefits of omega-3 fats are well documented in the scientific literature. Numerous studies demonstrate the benefits of the omega-3 fatty acids, EPA, and DHA. DHA is important for the structure and function of cell membranes, particularly those of the nervous system. DHA is critical for normal, healthy brain structure and function. EPA is found in small amounts in the brain, but is required for numerous other regulatory functions throughout the body. EPA helps support a healthy inflammatory response and optimal cardiovascular function. Cardiovascular benefits of omega-3’s include the ability to support a normal, healthy heartbeat and normal blood clotting, as well as healthy blood triglyceride levels. The American Heart Association (AHA) recommends that everyone eats fish (particularly fatty, coldwater fish) at least twice a week. Salmon, mackerel, herring, sardines, lake trout, and tuna are especially high in omega-3 fatty acids. DHA plays important roles in the functioning of the brain and the eye. Researchers are actively investigating the possible benefits of DHA and other omega-3 fatty acids in preventing or treating a variety of brain- and eye-related conditions. Taking more than 3 grams of fish oil daily may increase the risk of bleeding.
