Browsing: Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Omega-3 fatty acids are essential fats, meaning they are necessary for human health but cannot be synthesized by the body; hence, they must be obtained through diet. These polyunsaturated fats are best known for their roles in heart health, brain function, and inflammation reduction. Commonly found in fish, especially oily types like salmon and sardines, as well as in flaxseeds, walnuts, and canola oil, omega-3s include three main types: alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). While ALA is primarily sourced from plant oils, EPA and DHA are predominantly found in marine oils. Numerous studies suggest that omega-3s can improve heart health by reducing triglycerides, lowering blood pressure slightly, reducing blood clotting, and decreasing stroke and heart failure risk. They are also being investigated for their potential benefits in conditions such as depression, dementia, and arthritis.
