Fatty Acids and the Body
How Omega 3 fatty acids aid the body.
Omega 3 fatty acids are gaining in popularity, and with the benefits they offer the body, it’s really no wonder. Not only do fatty acids aid in cardiovascular health, but they have been shown to help with arthritis, diabetes, Alzheimer’s and more. I’m Dr. Omega and I’m going to tell you how fatty acids can help your body today.
What Are Omega 3 Fatty Acids?
Omega 3 fatty acids are essential fatty acids that your body needs in order to function properly, but cannot make on its own. To find out more about exactly what Omega 3 fatty acids are, sign up for the free mini-course at this website.
Fatty Acids and Cardiovascular Health
Studies have shown that Omega 3 may contribute to increased cardiovascular health and may prevent heart attacks. Omega 3 fatty acids slow the buildup of plaque in the arteries and when your arteries are free of plaque, your blood is able to flow normally, avoiding heart complications.
Recent studies have also shown that patients who do take Omega 3 and who have suffered from heart attacks seem to suffer heart attacks that are less severe than those who are not taking an Omega 3 supplement at all.
Fatty Acids and Arthritis
Arthritis is a painful condition and until recently, there really has not been a safe and effective treatment for the condition. Thankfully, Omega 3 fatty acids have been shown to aid arthritis patients by reducing pain, swelling and stiffness of the joints.
Omega 3 and Eczema
In addition to treating serious health conditions like heart attack and arthritis, Omega 3 fatty acids can help treat skin conditions like eczema. Studies have shown that eczema patients who take Omega 3 have shown reduced swelling and inflammation of the skin.
Omega 3 Fatty Acids and Depression
The benefits of Omega 3 are not just skin deep. Not only do Omega 3 fatty acids help with the physical aspects of health, but the mental aspects as well. If you’re feeling down, taking Omega 3 on a regular basis may really boost your mood.
While it may seem like Omega 3 fatty acids are being touted as a wonder drug, it’s really no wonder at all. Your body needs Omega 3 fatty acids and without them, can’t function properly.
