Omega-3 essential fatty acids (EFAs) are polyunsaturated "good" fats found in oil from coldwater fish such as salmon, mackerel and tuna, or in seeds of flax, walnuts, hemp and other plants. They're classified as "essential" because your body needs them for complete health, yet cannot produce them on its own. They must be obtained through diet or supplementation.

2. Omega 3 fatty acids are fats commonly found in
marine and plant oils. They are polyunsaturated fatty
acids with a double bond (C=C) starting after the
third carbon atom from the end of the carbon chain.
The fatty acids have two ends—the acid (COOH)
end and the methyl (CH3) end. They are considered
essential fatty acids, meaning that they cannot be
synthesized by the human body but are vital for
normal metabolism.

3. • Omega-3s are thought to play an important role in
reducing inflammation throughout the body -- in the
blood vessels, the joints, and elsewhere.
• However, omega-3 supplements (EPA/DHA) may
cause the blood to thin and cause excess bleeding,
particularly in people taking anticoagulant drugs.
• DHA is a major structural and functional fat found in
the brain and retina and is also a key component of
the heart and cardiovascular system, and one of the
omega-3 fatty acids recommended by the American
Heart Association and USDA Dietary Guidelines for
good cardiovascular health.

4. • Helps to prevent depression.
• Protects from Alzeimer's disease.
• Fights against Attention-Deficit
Hyperactivity Disorder (AHDS).
• Helps to improve poor cognitive
performance strokes.
• Also helps to avoid some types of
diabetes inflammatory effects in
muscles after exercise certain types of
cancer skin diseases.

5. • Omega-3 fatty acids are considered essential fatty acids. We need them for
our bodies to work normally. Because essential fatty acids (ALA,DHA,EPA)
are not made in the body or are inefficiently converted from ALA to EPA and
DHA, we need to get them from our diet . Omega-3s have a number of health
benefits. Omega-3s are thought to play an important role in reducing
inflammation throughout the body -- in the blood vessels, the joints, and
elsewhere.

6. While omega-3 studies have shown effects on many different body systems,
the level of evidence found varies. It ranges from scientific certainty about
the effects through to those where evidence is yet to be fully confirmed: the
science is clear: the human body needs EPA and DHA for cardiovascular
health (e.g. prevention of heart attacks). science has confirmed the
importance of adequate EPA/DHA levels for healthy blood lipids, low
cholesterol and a healthy heart. the same is true for the development of the
brain, the eye and nervous system in foetuses, babies and toddlers.
Sufficient DHA intake is essential, which is why it's part of any 'phase one'
infant nutrition.
