If you have been paying attention to recent health advice, you will be aware that one of the most common tips given by experts lately is to eat fatty fish at least once a week, preferably up to three times per week. This is not because of the lower calorie option versus red meat, though this is undoubtedly a plus. Rather, it is the inclusion of Omega-3 fatty acids into a healthy diet.
Omega-3 is a heart healthy oil that is contained in fatty fish, certain legumes, nuts, and in capsule form, which can be bought cheaply at nearly any pharmacy or health food store. It has been found to have a number of health benefits, both in the prevention of certain conditions, and in the treatments.
Some of the more common conditions that have been found to be partially treated with the use of Omega-3 are high cholesterol, heart disease, obesity, mental health disorder such as Bipolar or schizophrenia, diabetes, ADHD and certain levels on the autism spectrum, and arthritis. There are also a number of other conditions, which shows just how incredible this acid really is, and how it can improve your own health and life.
