Omega 369

Benefits of omega-3s

Omega-369 fatty acids, commonly called omega-3s, are a group of unsaturated fatty acids that your body needs for many functions.

Every cell in your body needs omega-3s, especially the eyes and brain. Omega-3s are also important for muscle activity, immune function, digestion and fertility. But most of the research on omega-3s has studied its heart health benefits. “People who taken omega-3s in their diet may have less plaque buildup in their arteries, lowering the risk of heart attack and stroke,” Taylor says. “Omega-3s lower triglyceride levels and may slightly raise ‘good’ HDL cholesterol levels.”

There are other possible benefits, too. Some research shows that regularly taking omega-3s may lower the risk of:

• Some types of cancer.

• Age-related macular degeneration.

• Dry eye disease.

• Rheumatoid arthritis.

Furthermore, we believe that high in omega-3s is a good move for most people but don’t expect them to treat all your health conditions. Work with a doctor to manage health problems and talk to a nutritionist about the best diet and supplements for you.
