What are omega 3 fatty acids? They're a nutritional element that
first caught researchers' attention about 20 years ago – and
what they discovered could have health benefits for anyone
worried about a healthy heart.
In the early 1980s,
studies showed that the Inuit had low rates of heart disease
despite their high-fat diet rich in fish. It turns out the omega
3 fatty acids in the fish may be what protects their hearts,
along with other health benefits.
Benefits of Omega 3 Fatty Acids in Heart
Disease and Cholesterol
Omega 3 fatty acids
are poly-unsaturated fatty acids. Studies show that a diet rich
in omega 3 fatty acids may help lower triglycerides and increase
HDL cholesterol (the good cholesterol). Omega 3 fatty acids may
also act as an anticoagulant to prevent blood from clotting.
Several other studies also suggest that these fatty acids may
help lower high blood pressure.
Potential Benefits of
Omega 3 Fatty Acids in Alzheimer's
Omega 3 fatty acids
may protect against the accumulation in the body of a protein
believed to be linked to Alzheimer's disease, according to the
results of a new animal study published in the March 2005 issue
of The Journal of Neuroscience. This study specifically
investigated one particular kind of omega 3 fatty acids –
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and the results are encouraging.
Omega 3: Fish or Plant?
With the increasing
popularity of vegetarian diets and mounting fears about mercury
and PCBs in seafood, people often ask about using flax oil
(which contains alpha-linolenic acids - or ALA) instead of fish
oil.
Our bodies can convert ALA into
eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) - the
beneficial elements of omega 3– but the conversion process is
slow. In addition, a high concentration of ALA (as present in
flax oil pills) has been linked to higher risk of prostate
cancer by some early research. Until more is known, men may be
safest to choose fish oil for heart-healthy omega 3s instead of
plant-sourced ALA.

When research showed that Greenland Eskimos and the Japanese enjoy remarkable cardiovascular health, scientists began delving for the reason. They discovered that these cultures consume foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Today, the benefits of these important compounds are widely known and recognized.
Identified as essential elements for good health, omega-3 fatty acids are not made naturally by the body, so they must be consumed through the diet. Primarily available in cold-water fish, including salmon, tuna, mackerel, and halibut, omega-3 fatty acids are also found in tofu, soybean, nuts, and canola oils. Most people fall short of consuming the necessary amounts of these critical nutrients, so supplementation is needed. Many medical professionals recommend omega-3 fatty acid dietary supplements for the general population. As we hear all too often in the news, cold-water fish are frequently contaminated with toxins, but most fish-oil-based supplements tend to be free of these toxins.
