Omega-3s: The Essentials
of Optimal Health
Omega-3 fatty acids are considered essential fatty acids and are important to optimal health and development. Because our bodies cannot produce them, we have to get Omega-3s from our diet or supplements. There are several types of Omega-3s, but the two crucial ones are EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), found in fish-rich diets.
We are eating more processed foods and far less fish containing Omega-3s than our ancestors. A deficiency in Omega-3s can be attributed to a host of health problems, from cardiovascular issues, to joint discomfort and even brittle nails.*
