Daily consumption of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids is essential for the health of the cardiovascular system, nervous system, brain, vision, joints, cell building and repair, etc. They are also called essential because they are crucial for health, but the body cannot produce them and must be obtained regularly through diet and/or nutritional supplements.
More and more experts are recommending omega-3s for people with a history of cardiovascular disease. Omega-3s lower blood pressure, triglyceride and cholesterol levels, reduce the risk of arterial plaque formation, and regulate heart rhythm. Studies show that omega-3s reduce the risk of death from cardiovascular disease by up to 62% and the risk of developing dementia by up to 47%.
Most people consume too much of the omega-6 found in meat and most vegetable oils, at the expense of omega-3. This imbalance causes cardiovascular disease, cognitive disorders, mood disorders, arthritis, and much more.
