Omega-3 fatty acid sources and the benefits of omega-3 foods

In study after study, scientists have discovered that omega-3 fatty acids are crucial to maintaining good health. In babies and children, they play a crucial role in brain function and normal development. In adults, omega-3 fatty acids aid in the prevention and relief of numerous serious health conditions, such as high blood pressure and heart disease. But your body can’t produce omega-3 fatty acids on its own. You must get them from the food you eat.

Which foods are high in Omega-3s?

The following foods can help you get the omega-3 your body so desperately needs:

Fish is one of the best Omega-3 Fatty Acid sources

Because fish is so high in omega-3 fatty acids, The American Heart Association now recommends that most people eat at least two servings per week.* In addition to other foods, such as leafy green vegetables, nuts, and seeds, most scientists agree that a healthy diet must include fish.

The benefits of foods containing omega-3 fatty acids are many

Eating foods containing omega-3 fatty acids on a regular basis can prevent the onset of many serious diseases. And as part of a healthy diet, omega-3s can actually help to relieve some of the symptoms of these diseases:

• High cholesterol: fish oil (which is rich in omega-3s) has been reported to reduce low density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
  
• High blood pressure: several studies suggest that diets rich in omega-3 fatty acids can lower blood pressure significantly in people with hypertension.
  
• Heart disease: clinical evidence suggests that fish oil can help reduce some of the risk factors for heart disease, including high cholesterol and high blood pressure.
  
• Stroke: strong evidence suggests that omega-3 fatty acids help protect against stroke caused by plaque buildup and blood clots in the arteries.
  
• Arthritis: Studies suggest that diets rich in omega-3 fatty acids may even benefit people with inflammatory disorders, such as rheumatory arthritis and osteoarthritis.
  

And there is even evidence that the benefits of omega-3 foods extend to other diseases, such as diabetes, cancer, emphysema, asthma, ADHD, depression and even prevent sunburn!
