Omega-3s are a type of polyunsaturated fat. They’re deemed essential fatty acids because they’re necessary for health but cannot be produced by our body. So, we must get them from our diet.
Omega-3 fatty acids play important roles in many bodily processes, including inflammation, heart health, and brain function. Omega-3 deficiency is associated with lower intelligence, depression, heart disease, arthritis, cancer, and many other health problems.
There are three types of omega-3 fatty acids: ALA, EPA and DHA.
Benefits of Omega-3s:
Fight Depression and Anxiety: EPA appears to be the best at fighting depression.
Improve Eye Health: DHA is a major structural component of the retina of our eye.
