Omega-3s are essential fatty acids found in foods such as olive oil, flaxseed oil, salmon, sardines, and walnuts, and we all need them in order for our bodies to function properly. One of their most crucial benefits is that these fatty acids have an anti-inflammatory effect on the body, and a lot of diseases, such as heart disease and arthritis are linked to the inflammatory issues.
The Mayo Clinic touts some of the health benefits of Omega-3s, benefits such as:
- reducing the risk of heart attack
- reducing heart arhythmia
- reducing risk of stroke
- lowering blood pressure
- lowering triglycerides
