Omega-3 fatty acid

omega-3 fatty acid, is found in plant sources such as nuts and seeds.
The human body can make most of the types of fats it needs from other fats or raw materials. That isn’t the case for omega-3 fatty acids (also called omega-3 fats and n-3 fats).
Omega-3s Can Fight Depression and Anxiety
Omega-3s Can Improve Eye Health

Here are the most common medical conditions that consuming more omega-3 foods have been prescribed for:
High cholesterol
Depression
Anxiety
ADHD
Cancer
Diabetes
Inflammation
Arthritis

Research shows that omega-3 fatty acids reduce inflammation and may help lower risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, and arthritis.
There are three important omega-3 fatty acids:
ALA - alpha-linolenic acid; found in a wide range of foods
EPA - eicosapentaenoic acid; found mainly in fish
DHA - docosahexaenoic acid; found mainly in fish and seaweed
Historically, we’ve seen that populations that consume the most omega-3 foods, like people in Okinawa, Japan, live longer and healthier lives than people who eat a standard diet low in omega-3s.
If your meal plan resembles that of the average U.S. adult, you are highly likely to be deficient in omega-3s. The reason is simple: the average U.S. adult consumes too few foods that are good sources of omega-3s, and excessive amounts of total fat that contain too many omega-6s.
