HEY MATE HERE IS YOUR ANSWER--
What is Omega-3?
- Omega-3 is short for omega-3 fatty acid.
- This is a family of essential fatty acids that play important roles in the human body
- We can not produce them on our own, so we must get them from the diet.
- Omega-3 fatty acids are polyunsaturated, meaning that they have several double bonds in the chemical structure.
- The three most important types are ALA (alpha-linolenic acid), DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid).
- ALA is mainly found in plants, while DHA and EPA are mainly found in animal foods and algae.
- Omega-3 fatty acids are needed for optimal function of the human body, and they may also provide numerous powerful health benefits
- Common foods that are high in omega-3 fatty acids include fatty fish, fish oils, flax seeds, chia seeds, flaxseed oil and walnuts, to name a few.
- For people who do not eat much of these foods, an omega-3 supplement (like fish oil) is often recommended.
