GREENLAND—A recent study conducted in Greenland found several health benefits associated with omega-3 fatty acids.
It is noted that omega-3s are essential because your body needs them to function normally. However, your body does not produce them naturally, so we must consume them in our diets.
The study analyzed a group of participants who consumed omega-3 fatty acids in their daily diets. The researchers looked at the health benefits associated with consuming these fatty acids.
The team found 4 significant health benefits, they include:
1. Reduce the risk of heart disease: It has been proven omega-3 can lower blood pressure, and lower triglycerides (fat in the blood).
2. Alleviate Arthritis: They have been shown to fight off inflammation, which would help relieve many symptoms of arthritis.
3. Reduce cognitive decline: Helps reduce the risk of age related dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease.
4. Reduce the risk of colon cancer: research has shown that omega-3 could help prevent colon cancer from worsening.
Omega-3 fatty acids can be found in many different foods, which include:
· Olive oil, canola oil
· Walnuts
· Green vegetables (spinach, kale, Brussels sprouts)
· Fish (salmon, tuna)
If you are interested in receiving some of these health benefits, you might want to consider adding omega-3 fatty acids to your daily diet.
Have a great day.
