 All About Omega-3 Fatty Acids
We need omega-3 fatty acids for the normal functioning of our bodies--they reduce inflammation, help prevent the formation of blood clots, help correct irregular heartbeats, reduce coronary artery disease, help prevent heart attacks and strokes, lower triglycerides, and provide the building blocks for hormones. Omega-3 fatty acids are obtained from two dietary sources: seafood and plant oils. High amounts of these beneficiary compounds are found in salmon, trout, halibut, walnuts, almonds, pecans, and many other omega-3 enriched products found in the supermarket.
