Benefits of Omega-3:

  • Better concentration and memory power
  • Slow ageing of brain
  • Healthy joints
  • Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids are important because our bodies do not have the enzymes necessary to create double bonds after the 10th carbon from the carboxyl group. 
  • Alpha linolenic acid (ALA) is the only essential Omega-3 fatty acid because our bodies can convert ALA into others such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Omega-3 fatty acids are poly-unsaturated fatty acids. Studies show that a diet rich in Omega-3 fatty acids may help lower triglycerides and increase HDL cholesterol (the good cholesterol). Omega-3 fatty acids may also act as an anticoagulant to prevent blood from clotting. Several other studies also suggest that these fatty acids may help lower high blood pressure.
