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.
Here are 17 health benefits of omega-3 fatty acids that are supported by science.
t
    1. Omega-3sCan    Fight Depression    andAnxiety
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 characterised 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
One study even found EPA as effective against depression as a common antidepressant drug.
    2. Omega-3sCan    ImproveEyeHealth
DHA, a type of omega-3, is a major structural component of the retina of your eye.
When you don't get enough DHA, vision problems may arise.
Interestingly, getting enough omega-3 is linked to a reduced risk of macular degeneration, one of the world's leading causes of permanent eye damage and blindness SUMMARY
An omega-3 fatty acid called DHA is a major structuralcomponent of your eyes’ retinas. It may help preventmacular degeneration, which can cause vision impairmentand blindness.















    3. Omega-3sCan    PromoteBrain    Health    During Pregnancyand    EarlyLife
Omega-3s are crucial for brain growth and development in infants.
DHA accounts for 40% of the polyunsaturated fatty acids in your brain and 60% in the retina of your eye Therefore, it's no surprise that infants fed a DHA-fortified formula have better eyesight than infants fed a formula without it Getting enough omega-3s during pregnancy is associated with numerous benefits for your child, including Higher intelligence
        ◦ Better communication and socialskills
        ◦ Fewer behaviouralproblems
        ◦ Decreased risk of developmentaldelay
        ◦ Decreased risk of ADHD, autism and cerebralpalsy
            Summary

to higher intelligence and a lower risk of several diseases.


    4. Omega-3sCan    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.
These benefits address:
        ◦ Triglycerides: Omega-3s can cause a major reductionintriglycerides, usually in the range of 15–30% Blood pressure: Omega-3s 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 clumpingtogether.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 For some people, omega-3s can also lower “bad” LDL cholesterol.However,evidence is mixed — some studies find increases in LDL Despite these beneficial effects on heart disease risk factors, there is noconvincing
evidence that omega-3 supplements can prevent heart attacks or strokes. Many studies find no benefit
•
        ◦ SUMMARY
Omega-3s improve numerous heart disease risk factors.However, omega-3 supplements do not seem to reduceyour risk of heart attacks or strokes.
    5. Omega-3sCan    ReduceSymptomsofADHD    in Children
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a behavioural disorder characterised by inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity
Several studies note that children with ADHD have lower blood levels of omega-3 fatty acids than their healthy peers What's more, numerous studies observe that omega-3 supplements can reduce the symptoms of ADHD.
Omega-3s help improve inattention and task completion. They also decrease hyperactivity, impulsiveness, restlessness and aggression Recently, researchers observed that fish oil supplements were one of the most promising treatments for.

SUMMARY
Omega-3 supplements can reduce the symptoms of ADHDin children. They improve attention and reduce hyperactivity,impulsiveness and aggression.
    6. Omega-3sCan    Reduce
Symptoms of Metabolic Syndrome
Metabolic syndrome is a collection of conditions.
It includes central obesity — also known as belly fat — as well as high blood pressure, insulin resistance, high triglycerides and low “good” HDL cholesterol levels.
It is a major public health concern because it increases your risk of many other illnesses, including heart disease and diabetes
Omega-3 fatty acids can improve insulin resistance, inflammation and heart disease risk factors in people with metabolic syndrome

SUMMARY
Omega-3s can have numerous benefits for people withmetabolic syndrome. They can reduce insulin resistance,fight inflammation and improve several heart disease riskfactors.
    7. Omega-3sCan    FightInflammation
Inflammation is a natural response to infections and damage in your body. Therefore, it is vital for your health.
However,inflammation sometimes persists for a long time, even without an infection orinjury.This is called chronic — or long-term — inflammation.
Long-term inflammation can contribute to almost every chronic Western illness, including heart disease and cancer Notably, omega-3 fatty acids can reduce the production of molecules and substances linked to inflammation, such as inflammatory eicosanoids and cytokines
Studies have consistently observed a connection between higher omega-3 intake and reduced inflammation.

SUMMARY
Omega-3s can reduce chronic inflammation, which cancontribute to heart disease, cancer and various otherdiseases.


    8. Omega-3sCan    FightAutoimmune    Diseases
In autoimmune diseases, your immune system mistakes healthy cells for foreign cells and starts attacking them. Type 1 diabetes is one prime example, in which your immune system attacks the insulin-producing cells in your pancreas.
Omega-3s can combat some of these diseases and may be especially important during early life.
Studies show that getting enough omega-3s during your first year of life is linked to a reduced risk of many autoimmune diseases, including type 1 diabetes, autoimmune diabetes and multiple sclerosis
Omega-3s also help treat lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease and psoriasis
SUMMARY
Omega-3 fatty acids can help fight several autoimmunediseases, including type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis,ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease and psoriasis.

    9. Omega-3sCan    ImproveMental    Disorders
Low omega-3 levels have been reported in people with psychiatric disorders
Studies suggest that omega-3 supplements can reduce the frequency of mood swings and relapses in people with both schizophrenia and bipolar disorder

Supplementing with omega-3 fatty acids may also decrease violent behaviour

SUMMARY
People with mental disorders often have low blood levels ofomega-3 fats. Improving omega-3 status seems to improvesymptoms.
    10. Omega-3sCan    Fight Age-Related    Mental    Declineand Alzheimer'sDisease
A decline in brain function is one of the unavoidable consequences of ageing.
Several studies link higher omega-3 intake to decreased age-related mental decline and a reduced risk of Alzheimer's
disease One review of controlled studies suggests that omega-3 supplements may be beneficial at disease onset, when the symptoms of AD are very mild

Keep in mind that more research is needed on omega-3s and brain health
.SUMMARY
Omega-3 fats may help prevent age-related mental declineand Alzheimer's disease, but more research is needed.
    11. Omega-3s MayHelpPreventCancer
Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the Western world, and omega-3 fatty acids have long been claimed to reduce the risk of certain cancers.
Interestingly, studies show that people who consume the most omega-3s have up to a 55% lower risk of colon cancer

Additionally, omega-3 consumption is linked to a reduced risk of prostate cancer in men and breast cancer in women. However, not all studies give the same results

SUMMARY

    12. Omega-3sCan    ReduceAsthmain    Children
Asthma is a chronic lung disease with symptoms like coughing, shortness of breath and wheezing.
Severe asthma attacks can be very dangerous. They are caused by inflammation and swelling in the airways of your lungs.
What's more, asthma rates in the US have been rising over the past few decades

Several studies associate omega-3 consumption with a lower risk of asthma in children and young adults

SUMMARY
Omega-3 intake has been associated with a lower risk ofasthma in both children and young adults.

    13. Omega-3sCan    ReduceFat inYourLiver
Non-alcoholic fatty Liver disease (NAFLD) is more common than you think.
It has increased with the obesity epidemic to become the most common cause of chronic liver disease in the Western world

However, supplementing with omega-3 fatty acids effectively reduces liver fat and inflammation in people with NAFLD

SUMMARY
Omega-3 fatty acids reduce liver fat in people with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
    14. Omega-3s MayImprove
Bone    and    JointHealth
Osteoporosis and arthritis are two common disorders that affect your skeletal system.
Studies indicate that omega-3s can improve bone strength by boosting the amount of calcium in your bones, which should lead to a reduced risk of osteoporosis

Omega-3s may also treat arthritis. Patients taking omega-3 supplements have reported reduced joint pain and increased grip strength

SUMMARY

    15. Omega-3s CanAlleviateMenstrual    Pain
Menstrual pain occurs in your lower abdomen and pelvis and often radiates to your lower back and thighs.
It can significantly affect your quality of life.
However, studies repeatedly prove that women who consume the most omega-3s have milder menstrual pain One study even determined that an omega-3 supplement was more effective than ibuprofen in treating severe pain during menstruation

SUMMARY
Omega-3 fatty acids can reduce menstrual pain and mayeven be more effective than ibuprofen, an anti-inflammatorydrug.
    16. Omega-3 FattyAcidsMay ImproveSleep
Good Sleep is one of the foundations of optimal health. Studies tie sleep deprivation to many diseases, including obesity, diabetes and depression Low levels of omega-3 fatty acids are associated with sleep problems in children and obstructive sleep apnea in adults Low levels of DHA are also linked to lower levels of the hormone melatonin, which helps you fall asleep

Studies in both children and adults reveal that supplementing with omega-3 increases the length and quality of sleep

SUMMARY
Omega-3 fatty acids — especially DHA — may improve thelength and quality of your sleep.
    17. Omega-3 Fats AreGoodForYourSkin
DHA is a structural component of your skin. It is responsible for the health of cell membranes, which make up a large part of your skin.
A healthy cell membrane results in soft, moist, supple and wrinkle-free skin.
EPA also benefits in skin in several ways, including Managing oil production and hydration of your skin.
        ◦ Preventing hyperkeratinisation of hair follicles, which appears as the little red bumps often seen on upper arms.
        ◦ Reducing premature ageing of yourskin.
        ◦ Reducing the risk ofacne.
Omega-3s can also protect your skin from sun damage. EPA helps block the release of substances that eat away at the collagen in your skin after sun exposure.


SUMMARY
Omega-3s can help keep your skin healthy, preventingpremature ageing and safeguarding against sun damage.
The    BottomLine
Omega 3 essential fatty acids are vital for optimal health. Getting them from whole foods — such as fatty fish two times per week — is the best way to ensure robust omega 3 uptake.
However,if you don't eat a lot of fatty fish, then you may want to consider taking an omega-3 supplement. For people deficient in omega-3, this is a cheap and highly effective way to improvehealth.
