Omega-3 fatty acids: What they are and why you need them
Omega-3 fatty acids are a type of polyunsaturated fatty acid that is essential for human health. They cannot be produced by the body, so they must be obtained from diet or supplements. Omega-3 fatty acids are found in a variety of foods, including fatty fish, flaxseed oil, and walnuts.
Omega-3 fatty acids have been linked to a number of health benefits, including:
* Reduced risk of heart disease
* Reduced risk of stroke
* Improved blood sugar control
* Reduced inflammation
* Improved brain health
* Reduced risk of depression and anxiety
Most people can get enough omega-3 fatty acids from their diet. However, some people, such as pregnant women, people with heart disease, and people with certain inflammatory conditions, may need to take an omega-3 supplement.
This video will discuss the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids and how to get them in your diet.
**Here are some tips for getting more omega-3 fatty acids in your diet:**
* Eat fatty fish at least twice a week. Good sources of omega-3 fatty acids include salmon, mackerel, tuna, sardines, and anchovies.
* Add flaxseed oil to your diet. Flaxseed oil is a good source of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), which is converted to omega-3 fatty acids in the body.
* Eat walnuts. Walnuts are a good source of ALA and other omega-3 fatty acids.
* Choose fortified foods. Some foods, such as eggs and orange juice, are fortified with omega-3 fatty acids.
If you are unable to get enough omega-3 fatty acids from your diet, you may need to take a supplement.
