What is omega-3?
Why is it good for you?
Omega-3 is a family of 3 separate fatty acids: ALA, EPA and DHA. When it comes to omega-3 benefits, EPA is linked to reducing cell inflammation (the normal way in which the body defends itself, such as from bacteria and viruses, but which can go into overdrive), while DHA helps keep retina cells healthy and is linked to synapse formation, so is important for vision and brain health. Making sure we get enough of Omega-3 from our diet is key to making sure we are gaining the benefits.
