CAMBRIDGE , MASSACHUSETTS —A recent study conducted at Harvard University and published in The FASEB Journal found that omega-3 could help boost your immune system and lower inflammation.
The study analyzed the affects DHA long-chain fatty acids had on your immune system and studied other health benefits.
The team found that these fatty acids significantly boost your immune system and help reduce inflammation, which has been known to be a factor of several chronic illnesses including heart disease and diabetes.
According to study researcher, Dr. Charles Serhan:
“We hope that the results from this study will enable investigators to test the relevance of the maresin pathway in human disease.”
It is noted that DHA long-chain fatty acids are part of omega-3 fatty acids, which can be found in the following foods:
· Fish Oil (salmon)
· Flaxseed
· Nuts (walnuts)
If you are interested in boosting your immune system or reducing inflammation, you might want to consider adding omega-3 fatty acids to your diet.
Have a great day.
