The benefits of Omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil have been significantly researched, with positive documentation for virtually all claims. Most people do not get enough of these essential polyunsaturated fatty acids in their diet.
Omega-3's are essential fatty acids that our bodies cannot create without first obtaining them from food. Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA), two of the most important Omega-3 fatty acids, are readily available in seafood.
EPA and DHA are very important for normal brain development, nervous system function, and eyesight. These two fatty acids are thought to be protective of the body, as they may reduce the risk of developing many chronic and malignant diseases. Much of the research related to Omega-3's has focused on the beneficial relationship these fats have with the prevention of heart disease.
Omega-3 fatty acids not only help maintain healthy blood pressure and cholesterol levels, but they also promote heart, eye and joint health - consumption of Omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of Coronary Heart Disease (CHD). In fact, The American Heart Association has endorsed the use of Omega-3 fatty acids for secondary prevention of cardiovascular events in patients with documented coronary artery disease.
