Increasing the amount of pure omega 3 in your diet should be the top of everybody’s agenda. Omega 3 has many benefits to our health like:

1. Heart Health - The results connecting fish oil omega 3 and a healthy heart are pretty conclusive now. The research into this originally started in the 1970s and since then has been found that the fats from oily fish help to protect the heart in many ways; probably the most significant way is the way it reduces the amount of plaque buildup which ultimately reduces the dangers of clots forming within the blood and also less likelihood of clogging of the arteries.

2. Chronic Inflammation - Inflammation is something that our bodies require and is created by the Omega six essential fat. Unfortunately nowadays we consume too much Omega six and therefore a lot of people suffer from chronic inflammation which is not only behind conditions such as arthritis but is also behind silent killers as well like strokes, aneurysms and unexpected fatal heart attacks. Research has discovered the DHA fat found in fish oil omega3 reacts within the body to create nitric oxide and helps to keep the inflammation levels in check.

3. A Healthy Brain - Another area where this DHA fat is essential is in your brain, this fat makes up around about a quarter of your brain, and it acts as a membrane around the brain cells. When the neurons move from cell to cell it passes through this fat in a normal manner, however if you are lacking in this fat the body creates a substitute called DPA and the neurons cannot pass through this the correct way. It is now thought that because of this if you are lacking in DHA and DPA is being used instead it can be behind conditions such as ADHD, mood swings and depression as well as other mental health conditions.
