DescriptionChances are that you've heard a little about omega-3 fatty acids and their health benefits in recent years, but are you fully aware of just how helpful they are? Unless you're a healthcare provider or nutritionist, you may not have full knowledge of what exactly these fatty acids do. Fortunately, that's about to change!Omega-3 fatty acids are a type of fat found in marine and plant oils. Omega-3s are most commonly extracted from fish oils, meaning that you may not be getting sufficient amounts if you don't eat seafood regularly. They are polyunsaturated fatty acids - "polyunsaturated" is a term referring to the amount of hydrogen contained at the molecular level - essential to your health in moderate quantities.Omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil have been shown to lower your risk for heart attacks, as well as for other consequences of cardiovascular disease. High levels of omega-3 in your blood also appear to help protect you from other diseases, including breast cancer.
