Why omega-3 is important

Omega-3 fatty acids are incredibly important.

They have many powerful health benefits for your body and brain.

In fact, few nutrients have been studied as thoroughly as omega-3 fatty acids.

*Omega-3 will Fight Depression and Anxiety
Depression is one of the most common mental disorders in the world.

Symptoms include sadness, lethargy and a general loss of interest in life

Anxiety, also a common disorder, is characterized by constant worry and nervousness

Interestingly, studies indicate that people who consume omega-3s regularly are less likely to be depressed

What's more, when people with depression or anxiety start taking omega-3 supplements, their symptoms improve

*Omega-3 Can Improve Risk Factors for Heart Disease
Heart attacks and strokes are the world's leading causes of death

Decades ago, researchers observed that fish-eating communities had very low rates of these diseases. This was later linked to omega-3 consumption

Since then, omega-3 fatty acids have been tied to numerous benefits for heart health

These benefits address:

Triglycerides: Omega-3s can cause a major reduction in triglycerides, usually in the range of 15–30%

Blood pressure: Omega can reduce blood pressure levels in people with high blood pressure
“Good” HDL cholesterol: Omega-3s can raise “good” HDL cholesterol levels

Blood clots: Omega-3s can keep blood platelets from clumping together. This helps prevent the formation of harmful blood clots

Plaque: By keeping your arteries smooth and free from damage, omega-3s help prevent the plaque that can restrict and harden your arteries

Inflammation: Omega-3s reduce the production of some substances released during your body’s inflammatory response
