It is sensible to limit our intake of unhealthy fats (hydrogenated, saturated, and trans fats), but it may be even more important to ensure an adequate intake of the healthy fats the brain and the body need. Omega 3 is one of the families of healthy fatty acids that are essential, meaning the body cannot produce them and they must come from your diet, by eating fatty fish several times a week, or be gained through supplements. The active compounds in omega 3 are DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and they are only found in fish. Omega 3 help to decrease ”bad” LDL cholesterol, responsible for the hardening of the arteries which leads to CVD and the risk of heart attack and stroke and studies have shown that supplementation can help reduce the risk of heart attacks. Omega 3 also helps control the painful inflammation of autoimmune disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis and skin conditions such as eczema.
