Omega-3 fatty acids are polyunsaturated fatty acids, including eicosapentaenic acid (EPA) and docosahexanoic acid (DHA), found in fish, and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), which is found in plants.
Unlike the saturated fats in foods like butter and meat, which can raise levels of unhealthy (LDL) cholesterol, polyunsaturated fats are healthier because they help lower cholesterol levels and reduce inflammation throughout the body.
EPA and DHA are called essential fatty acids because the body doesn't produce them, and that is why it's important to get omega-3 fatty acids from food or from supplements.
Omega-3 fatty acids protect your cardiovascular system in a number of ways. They help to lower levels of cholesterol that can build up in your arteries and form plaques that increase your risk for a heart attack or stroke.
They reduce levels of unhealthy fats called triglycerides in the blood significantly. High levels of triglycerides have been linked to an increased risk for cardiovascular disease. They decrease the risk of abnormal heartbeats, or arrhythmias, which can lead to sudden death. Omega-3's help prevent blood clots from forming.
Clots that break off and block a coronary artery to the heart can cause a heart attack. Clots that block the flow of blood to the brain can lead to a stroke, and can lower blood pressure, another risk factor.
They reduce inflammation in the body, which helps prevent the blockage arteries from becoming blocked and prevent the re-narrowing of coronary arteries.
Studies are finding that the omega-3 fatty acids found in fish are essential for brain health, The importance of these fatty acids becomes most obvious when they're lacking, as those who don't get enough omega-3s in their diet face an increased risk of developing brain conditions such as dementia, depression, attention-deficit disorder, dyslexia and schizophrenia.
Research is finding that omega-3 fatty acids have several brain-boosting benefits. They improve learning and memory. In studies, children who received omega-3 fatty acid supplements did better in school, scored higher on tests of learning and memory, and had fewer behavioral problems than their peers who didn't get the supplement.
Omega's protect against depression, other mood disorders, and schizophrenia, and improve mood in people who already have depression and fight age-related cognitive decline due to dementia.
