Description What are omega-3 fatty acids? Omega-3 fatty acids belong to polyunsaturated fatty acids. Three of their most important types are distinguished: α-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaene (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). ALA are considered essential fatty acids because they cannot be produced by the body itself. They are mostly found in plants, while EPA and DHA are found in animal foods and algae. Omega-3 benefits for the body Omega 3 fatty acids are especially important, but the human body cannot produce them naturally. Therefore, the body can absorb omega 3 only with food. It is abundant in fatty fish such as mackerel or salmon. Not eating enough fish or consuming it irregularly will not provide the body with sufficient amounts of omega fatty acids. It is also very important to maintain their balance. Omega-3 belongs to the group of polyunsaturated fats and is divided into docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPR). EPR and DHA help maintain normal brain function and heart activity. A positive effect occurs with daily consumption of 250 mg of EPR and DHA. Additionally, people using this substance notice a positive effect on the nervous system, have more energy, and improve memory function. In addition, this active ingredient is famous for its antioxidant properties, which help fight against free radicals that attack the body's cells (vitamin E in the composition helps protect cells from oxidative damage). Positive effect on blood pressure - 3 g of EPR and DHA, on eyesight - 250 mg of DHA per day. Remember: A varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle are important! Taking care of your health is a very welcome thing. When we take care of ourselves, our physical and emotional health, we are happier, more energetic and more productive. Good sleep, physical activity, quality, healthy food and communication with other people are especially important for human health. If you include as many different foods as possible in your diet - vegetables, fruits, various grain dishes, bread products, meat, the body will absorb all the substances that are useful for it and it is likely that there will be no shortage of them. Supplements, vitamins, minerals are just nutritional supplements, use them only if you know very well that you lack one or another substance. Or if it was recommended by a doctor. An ideal option if you can take a blood test and determine exactly what substances you lack. Be healthy and happy! HumanPerformance.lt
